The Internationally respected U.S.A. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has been dumped by Trump.
Because it seems.... Rex could not agree with Trump on some international issues.
Trumps attitude... if you aren't a yes-man to me (a sycophant), you're gone.
The sacking of Rex Tillerson is a HUGE disaster for the U.S.A. A man of thought and reasoning, hugely popular and respected internationally. He actually does, despite his corporate background, have his feet on the ground and is right in there and in touch with ordinary working people.

Trumpsters will now desert in droves.
Oh come on now. Nobody even knew who Tillerson was. Trump dumped him because of his support for the bogus Iran nuclear deal.

Not sure where the highly respected has come from certainly not before he was fired . The only international issue that the two have disagreed on is weather Trump is a moron , that aside he may or may not be , you don't refer to your boss as a moron and expect to stay long in any job .

The deal was done ... accept that that IS INDEED AN ACTUAL FACT .
It really doesn't matter whether you like the deal or you dislike it ... it was a completed and absolutely legal action.
But, typical of the US (not just and not particularly Trump) that a 'done deal' is being argued and challenged afterwards and / or regularly reneged upon.
Your government tends to be more crooked than a $7 bank note ...
<<< Official Loony Liberal Loser Mascot ... get your's here, no money asked for, just the complete surrender of your intelligence and integrity
A lot turns on that timing. On March 12, Tillerson had backed the British government’s accusation that Russia was culpable for a nerve-agent attack on United Kingdom soil. If Tillerson had been fired March 9, then his words of support for Britain could not explain his firing three days before. But if the White House was lying about the timing, it could be lying about the motive.
And since it now seems all but certain that the White House was lying about the timing, it looks more probable that it was lying about the motive too.
Lies and more Lies be interesting if the truth was to surface, however the story will probably fad away just like the Dutch inquiry into the shooting down of MH17, which has quietly faded away, likewise, chinese shooting down of MH370 is also fading away
Rex Tillerson’s Firing Was Necessary To National Security It’s been hard to find anyone in the White House to say a bad word about the character or personality of Rex Tillerson or a good word about his leadership at State. The friction between the White House personnel shop and Tillerson’s chief of staff, Margaret Peterlin, is the worst-kept secret inside the Beltway, and the glacial pace of staffing up the political ranks has angered national security conservatives. Those foreign policy wonks tend to admire the director of policy planning, Brian Hook, but look in vain around the department for anyone else with anything resembling a theory of the world on which to operate the world’s link to the United States.
Other key jobs remain unfilled, including the undersecretary for arms control and international security affairs and the U.S. representative to the U.N. mission in Geneva; both jobs have much to do with holding Iran to account to the deal struck under the Obama administration. The undersecretary for management is another empty office, even though veterans of the bureaucracy from past Republican presidents remain available.
Tillerson has also failed to push nominees for crucial ambassador posts, such as Richard Grenell as ambassador to Germany, the most important non-nuclear power in the world. Other important embassies, such as those in South Korea, Turkey and South Africa, lack even a nominee, though numerous and very qualified candidates abound. The paperwork gridlock of an isolated and uninfluential secretary of state brought the conservative pro-Trumpers and career State Department staff together in agreement that the department was a massive shipwreck.
Last night as I was watching the news o TV a friend came over and I said, "Look at this, Trump just fired Rex Tillerson!" She said well, he just keeping a campaign promise of "Draining the Swamp." I said "But, he hired Tillerson so he's not draining anything."
