Tillerson disagreed with Trump on Israel, Iran, Russia, North Korea... I don’t for the life of me understand how he got the job when he doesn’t agree with Trump on anything.
Unless he simply wasn’t honest about his beliefs from the beginning. Because Trump was very plain on his positions, about three speeches a day every day for a year and a half.
Well, on the face of his nomination he had the knowledge of the region and was a breath of fresh air compared to the typical striped pants State Department type.
Both Trump and Tillerson have been accustomed to directing their own powerful operation.
Right now, we need to quickly regain control. Lots of pieces are in play in the Middle East. An explosive environment.
Well put. And the last eight paragraphs of Glick’s piece clearly explain what in particular Tillerson was doing that was basically insubordinate.
