Does anyone think Biden would even be awake?
Why? Are they our only two options? Two 70+ year olds?

That might be a good thing. I would imagine most people only really remember the bad ones.

Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence can EABOD.

A lot of people probably don’t remember any of them, good or bad.

I don't agree that they're dumbasses and not worth listening to
I believe Trump gets his feelings hurt and both fires and hires people for the wrong reasons. It's possible it was just dumb luck that his first term wasn't a complete disaster.

Trump was the best foreign policy President of my lifetime. I don’t give a frick what some guy with an agenda says. Results speak louder than words.
What was his foreign policy and what were the results? Are we better off with China for instance after Trumps term than before?

Here it sounds like Tillerson with the hurt feels.

Hey assface,
Name some policies that your Morons have put in place that have made ANYTHING BETTER!
Name a few, please you moron!
Trump
NAFTA
OP-Zone
Child trafficking Initiatives
1st non-war president in many many decades!
Brought all The troops Home
Could go on & on!
You punks are insufferable and should go find another board, maybe go north where the figs welcome tranny world with the groomers cheering on
You have zero policies and depend on Globalist to paint your pictures of How Trump operated.
Have you ever heard of critical thinking? You Should try it and start with reading the book
“creature from Jeckyll Island”
You buffoon

You don't have to even pay much attention to remember people like Madeleine Albright and Hillary Clinton (although she's probably more remembered because of her last name)
I'll throw this out there though and I'll challenge anyone in this thread to answer it - If you don't like Rex Tillerson what exactly did you not like about his time as secretary of state? (Note - Trump not liking him isn't a real answer)

This isn’t deciding where to build his next golf course or what color to paint the interior of his next golf club.

These words by Tillerson make him look petty and hurt
It's a shame, because Tillerson had a lot of potential. But he was never the smartest guy in the room. Apparently he fancied that he was. When a man who aspired to be the world's top diplomat writes or says the kind of stuff being attributed to Tillerson, reality sets in as to his actual competency for the position.

He wasn’t there long and didn’t do much of anything noteworthy. You can’t say he was good or bad. He was just sort of…nothing.
I do remember reading reports that he could not forge relationships with diplomats, was unrelatable, and lacked people skills. There was criticism that he was a CEO, not a SoS, and the two are not similar. WaPo type stuff, which is probably agenda driven hogwash.
Schultz was a great SoS and he was CEO of Bechtel. Of course, he also had much broader experience than Tillerson so it’s not really fair at all to compare the two other than to contrast.

I believe what haunted Trump the most with the hiring situation was that no one did understand how much negativity and ill will and such would be directed at those people. Who could’ve known that the left would be so damn hysterical over Trump being President that they would literally erase every “red line” not to cross that there ever was before. Every single red line, no longer existed. Thus there was not a single thing they wouldn’t do. Threaten the individual and his existence and future ability to thrive. Threaten the individual’s family and associates just the same. Make individual and family’s lives miserable. Nothing off limits. And at the very least, ensure the individual that future earning potential would be almost nil, but on the other hand, should he back away from Trump and foster a much colder, arm’s length relationship - that might actually net some positive benefits down the road.
That’s just my personal read on the situation(s), and I do also believe that atmosphere permeated throughout the term. Which, again, just my observations, but that would seem to account for the peculiar nature of Trump’s later relationships with some of these people in contrast with what would’ve certainly started out as “warm” and positive relationships at the very beginning of their individual involvement.

His lack of success in the role speaks for itself. What makes you think I didn't "like" him?
