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.

FIrst female director, historic glass ceiling milestone.

Trump is a champion of diversity and inclusion, I can see the WAPO and CNN headlines now

Good job!

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

Tillerson was a disaster. We don't have an ambassador to South Korea. He thought he could cut the staff at State and nothing bad would happen.

Allot of people are saying that its funny timing after Tillerson openly blamed Russia for the UK nerve attack yesterday.

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!

Not in your lifetime.
MSM is currently 91% negative on Trump.
