The Secretary of Defense is being treated like shit. Man if this domino falls it's over for the Agent Orange Russian Spy President. Trump is beyond an idiot. Allowing Bannon and his son in law Jared to overstep their role and replace Tillerson as the key negotiator in the middle east. This fucking moron just doesn't get it. This is awesome though. Trump is fucking up throwing interceptions and fumbling the ball all over the playing field. Hahahahaha
Rex Tillerson began his first foreign outing as US secretary of state on Thursday, meeting counterparts from G20 countries in Bonn, but he has left behind in Washington a department that is severely weakened and cut out of key policy decisions.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...by-white-house
Neither he nor his staff were consulted on the executive order imposing a travel ban on refugees and nationals of seven predominantly Muslim countries. A memo strongly dissenting from the policy has been signed by about 1,000 state department employees.
Tillerson was taken by surprise when the president at the last moment rejected his choice of deputy secretary of state, Elliott Abrams, because Abrams had criticised him during the campaign.
Tillerson had previously assured Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee, that he would have a free hand in choosing staff. He has brought a handful of personal aides with him but many of the state department senior staff either resigned or were summarily dismissed days before Tillerson arrived in the building, and there is no list of nominees to replace them.
