President Trump has ousted Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and replaced him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, orchestrating a major change to his national security team amid delicate negotiations with North Korea, White House officials said Tuesday.
Trump last Friday asked Tillerson to step aside, and the embattled top diplomat cut short his trip to Africa on Monday to return to Washington.
Pompeo will replace him at the State Department, and Gina Hapsel — the deputy director at the CIA — will succeed him at the CIA, becoming the first woman to run the spy agency, if confirmed.

I like that Trump is willing to replace any problem person, or underperforming employee, immediately.
Past presidents felt the need to keep these cats on staff until re-election time.
Looks like government works best, when run like a business

Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Rex is about to be embraced by the Left

I like Tillerson, and at a company like Exxon, where he can make and absorb mistakes within a corporate environment, mistakes and an aggressive attitude can get things done. It was worth experimenting with, but ultimately, his style is not diplomatic.

You hear this, Rex? Trump is after you next. This is an omen.

Don't like this at all. Especially with him out of the country. Not good at all.
Beginning to dislike all the 'Trump is greatest - everyone else is shite' people that disgusted me during the primary season all over again.

So delicate: "Little Rocket Man", "Be bad for the world not just North Korea", entire Pacific Fleet essentially off the coast; satellites, planes, drones all overhead.
Careful not to step on any daisies now!

Didn't Tillerson announce a few months ago that he was planning on leaving soon?

Bad move by Trump too much turnover. I will still vote for him.

Scratch that 43% and add a bit. 44 or 45% now.

Omg. A State Dept official says Tillerson learned he was fired from Trump's tweet, per @CNN

To be fair to Trump, 66.7% of his wives left him, 100% of his casinos have been bankrupted, 100% of his universities and charities were shut down, and over 50% of his other businesses have failed, so White House staff turnover at 43% means he is over-performing by his standards.
