I'm TELLING you...Tillerson says that now. But somehow, Mike Pompeo is doing everything that Trump has asked.
Now how can that be if it's "AGAINST THE LAW"?
Answer...because it never was. Tillerson doesn't specify anything. He just said that in general.
And as I pointed out...Pompeo IS getting it done.
Typical sour grapes from a disgruntled employee who couldn't get this particular job done.
It's really just that simple. Tillerson is an incredibly talented and smart person. But it turned out that diplomacy was not his forte.
If you remember...CNN, MSNBC, the NY Times, Washingon Post and all of those other anti-Trump media outlets were attacking Tillerson the entire time he was Secretary Of State and commenting on how ineffective he was.
But now that he says something that casts Trump in a bad light? They love the guy.
I'm not falling for their bullshit. And neither should you.
Tillerson was bad at the job. It's just that simple.
Somehow it was "AGAINST THE LAW" to do what Trump wanted done in diplomacy when Tillerson was there...but now it's perfectly legal and damn effective with Pompeo?
I believe Tillerson just didn't understand Trump's vision and therefore was reluctant to do much. Pompeo on the other hand seems to fit the job of Secretary Of State.

I think Trump is one of those guys who certain people will get along with great and other will be like oil and water. I have a feeling Tillerson was one of those oil and water guys. Like you say, the two didn't share a vision and it sounded like they butted heads. I also get the feeling Tillerson wasn't really excited by the job and he may have taken it because he felt he had to or he would look bad. Regardless of the reasons, it really does feel like Tillerson and Trump likely never really got along and now are at that stage where they are both saying how they really felt about the other.
All that said, you have to admit having the POTUS and the former Sec. State calling each other names on Twitter is terrible form and makes us look bad. Every president has multiple cabinet turnovers. The difference is the other presidents didn't then call their former staffers dumb as a rock in front of the world.
