I don't like this - I felt Tillerson was a doing a great job.

I would have thought Rex would have resigned if he were not seeing eye-to-eye with Trump.

Having him asked to 'step aside' is not the way this should have worked out.

Don't like this optics at all.

And I am certainly disgusted with the sycophants who rejoice at this - I do not understand the Trump Worship Cult.

They say trump wants new team for nk talks.

Seems counter intuitive.

For every one Celebrating this move, writing MAGA...what exactly was wrong with Rex? Why are you celebrating this move? What did you have against him? Or are you just celebrating Trump and no matter the move you...MAGA!!! I fully support Trump, but this move is surprising. I thought Rex was doing a great job.

I agree with you. Then again, I didn't understand the Obama Worship Cult either...

I don't think Tillerson was doing a "GREAT" job but I do thin he is a Patriot and good man and deserved better than a firing while in Africa.

Should have done it smoother IMO but he did need to be removed.

I was sort of surprised by this as well...we don't know what all goes on behind closed doors. Surely he let him go for a very good reason and we will find out why.

He admitted on 60 minutes to calling trump an idiot. It was inevitable.

Yeah I'm surprised it took this long with the "moron" statement that was supposedly "fake news." Rex apparently did not support Trump's policies.

Doesn't answer my question. Why is this being celebrated and MAGA MAGA!

You have two Alpha males, there will be conflict, but those two are used to that! And shite was being accomplished bc of their leadership and basically being the parents that the world has been missing. I just don't get the Celebration of this.

Tillerson was a bad pick to begin with.

"And I am certainly disgusted with the sycophants who rejoice at this - I do not understand the Trump Worship Cult."

It truly is bizarre even if you agree with much of his policy outcomes. The cult seems not even to care what the policies or moves are so long as their guy is the one doing it.

"Great" is just my way of saying "hasn't pissed in the whiskey" = I am no expert on foreign affairs but pay attention to what is going on from a layman's perspective and have high regard for intelligence, integrity, fairness, patriotism, and loyalty = all which I think Tillerson represented to a greater degree than any SOS in recent memory.

If there were 'policy direction' differences, Trump should have waited until he was back in house and given him the opportunity to resign on his own terms, or at least allowed him to leave with dignity. Firing him while he was out of the country with no explanation is a dick move - I don't give a shite who you are.

This is the kind of shite that made me hate Trump during the primary season and put me in the 'anyone is better than Hillary" rooting section after the election. He has far exceeded my expectations and I could become a fervent Trump advocate IF ONLY he had a smidgeon of dignity and circumspection.

I do not like this continued shite-show.

I still give thanks that he is our POTUS instead of HRC.

I hope you don’t think this board is an accurate reflection of America or even trump supporters.
