“He’s a f**king moron.”

When it was revealed that Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, said these words to one of his constituents, referring to Trump, the countdown had begun. Tillerson has no respect for the bumbling idiot who sits behind the desk in the Oval Office; occasionally.

Now don’t mistake me for a Tillerson supporter; he is totally unqualified for his position. He is not a diplomat and has no prior experience at any level of government. He is an oil man, and is closely associated with Vladimir Putin. However, if I can judge the two men based on their speeches and demeanor, compared to Trump, Tillerson is Albert Einstein.

Several government officials revealed to CNN that Tillerson will be replaced by Mike Pompeo, who is currently the Director of the CIA, within a few months. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton will lead the CIA.

I have lost track of the number of White House employees who have resigned or been terminated since January 20. I do know that the number is both historical and hysterical. Here are some of the top names, or names you might know: Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Sebastian Gorka, Reince Priebus, Anthony Scarmucci, Sean Spicer, James Comey, and many other names you probably do not know.

In recent days Tillerson has gutted the State Department. Few, if any, experienced diplomats remain. It was obvious that he was unqualified for the position, and the fact that Trump and Tillerson did not know each other prior to his nomination left me and others perplexed. I have assumed that either billionaire Robert Mercer or Russian President Vladimir Putin were instrumental in is being selected for what most believe is the most important cabinet position.

We know that Putin and Tillerson share very profitable business interests, and Putin awarded the oil man his country’s highest civilian award.

Regardless of who is responsible for his nomination, Tillerson will soon be another bad memory of a failed administration.

One final word. Tom Cotton will be the worst choice Trump has ever made in his 10 months and 10 days in office. Cotton has acted in traitorous fashion multiple times. His first attempt was to undermine the negotiations between President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and the leaders of Iran when a nuclear agreement was nearing completion. The people of Arkansas will rid themselves of one failure, but our most important security service will be in the control of the court jester.

Please re-post; thank you.
