State Dept. Dismantling Is Trump Revenge Against Hillary.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Because Hillary was Secretary Of State and probably had a relationships with department staffers. Because of these imagined Hillary allies Trump wants it purged and relegated to insignificant status. He probably believes he does not need the agency. That his inner circle can handle what the State Department used to do.

What else could we conclude. Tillerson is no more than a watch dog.

2. Tillerson is only there to open Russia for Exxon

If he succeeds. I bet he resigns a few months after he does it and returns to Exxon.

4. Actually it's not

it is Putins gift. Our state dept is the face of our country. They put together alliances make deals to get things done. If they don't have us they'll go somewhere else. Where do you think they'll go?

5. Oh please - he's doing it for Putin - to lower our standing in the world and suppport of NATO and

The UN. He's been unabashedly pro Putin for a year now.
Let's not pretend it's about hating anyone.
