Tillerson Mulls Quitting After Trump Bashes Sessions

https://politicalwire.com/2017/07/24/tillerson-mulls-quitting-trump-bashes-sessions/

"SNIP...........

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is growing increasingly frustrated with the Trump administration and could quit before the year is through, Newsweek reports.

“Two sources familiar with Tillerson’s conversations with friends told CNN over the weekend that he has grown so frustrated with President Trump and his administration that there may soon be a ‘Rexit.'”

“Trump publicly assailed one of Tillerson’s fellow Cabinet members, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, saying he regretted hiring him. Tillerson, the sources said, viewed Trump’s comments as unprofessional.”

Reportedly, he has been unable to staff the State Dept. as he would like.

Or maybe he can't overturn the sanctions, thanks to Congress. Who knows?! Whoever gets the position will be worse though. We can count on that.

Although it's kind of amusing that Wayne Tracker--Oops, I meant Rex Tillerson, sorry, would use Trump dishing on Sessions at the pretext for his departure: "Why, I had no idea that the president was so prone to insulting people! Mercy sakes! I can't possibly remain in an administration marked by such ungraciousness."

They all should be terrified. He has been loyal to NOBODY except Ivanka and Don Jr. throughout his life. Even other family members and his other daughter he has turned on.

And none of them would choose suicide. It will always be somebody else's fault to the end of their days.
