Earlier this morning I wrote about another disagreement between your illegitimate president and Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. Minutes after I published that article, it was announced that Tillerson has been fired. He will be replaced by Trump lackey, Mike Pompeo, who is now the Director of the CIA.

Tillerson, who once called Trump “a f**king moron,” has had multiple angry battles with fuhrer Donald Trump. Trump promised to ‘clean out the swamp;’ is this what he meant; removing more than 43 percent of his own staff in 13 months and 20 days?

Let me be perfectly honest with you. I never understood Tillerson’s nomination. He lacked any qualifications, and Trump had never met him until his confirmation hearings began. When I learned of his very close personal and business relationship with Vladimir Putin. Then it all made sense.

Tillerson proved that he was unfit for the position immediately. He fired or allowed resignations from some of the finest diplomats in the world. The State Department has been virtually disemboweled. It is woefully understaffed, and is becoming completely dysfunctional. The truth is that it probably would not matter if real experts remained; Trump refuses to listen or consult his advisers. He recently made a decision to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un without even informing his State Department or security agencies.

This was Trump’s statement about the firing of Tillerson.

“I’ve worked with Mike Pompeo now for quite some time,” Trump told reporters outside the White House. “Tremendous energy. Tremendous intellect. We’re always on the same wavelength. The relationship has been very good, and that’s what I need as secretary of state.”

Translated from ‘Trumpese,’ he needs another “yes man” to soothe his fragile ego.
