This sounds like some fake story that the Trump team would use as a test for leaks.

“Mr. Trump”? Who is the NYT writing about, Eric or Don Jr.?

Within weeks? Say by the end of the year?
Bet Tillerson’s still there.

President Trump is first reference.
Correct second reference is “Mr. Trump.”

I like Tillerson and how he alienates and upsets career diplomats. I DESPISE career diplomats. I bet you many if not most of them are corrupt and on foreign payroll, either via cash or lavish lifestyles. We could but 80% of them and not miss them one bit. Tillerson wants to slash funding and staff. would DC veteran Pompeo do the same?

What nonsense. He serves at the pleasure of the President, who does not need a “plan” to “force” him out. He just needs to call him into the office and tell him he’s done.

At this point, speculation and allegation only, but the “old gray lady” will still run with the story, in the hopes that somehow, this could happen, then how prescient would they have been?
There may be a few rough edges between Donald Trump and Rex Tillerson, but mostly, they are on the same page, and after all, Tillerson has to deal with the deepest of the Deep State in the Department of State. Considering the handicaps placed upon him, Tillerson is doing remarkably well.

President Trump is first reference.Correct second reference is Mr. Trump.AP Stylebook.
Maybe I'm being too sensitive in this case, but I've always used the term "the President" or some such for followup references, and also personal pronouns, if needed.
I see so much routine disrespect for the President in the Media that I'm automatically suspect of it.
I guess I disagree with the AP Stylebook, and would be interested to see a comparative analysis of the AP's print treatment of President Trump—or other Republican Presidents—versus President Obama.

I seriously doubt that the NYT gets any real information from White House sources.
