. . . The move itself had been rumored since at least November. The White House said Tillerson was asked to step down Friday, but at least one outlet is reporting that Tillerson learned from Twitter this morning.I’ll ask a question no one else seems to be asking: If you’re Mike Pompeo, why would you want to be secretary of state? You already have a good working relationship with the president. Pompeo reportedly attends the president’s daily intelligence briefing in person almost every day. If you’re the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, any president is almost always eager to see you; you’ve got news and it’s usually something important. You’re the one with the most information and the best answers; you’re in the White House all the time. You’re trusted and valued.We’ve seen that Trump will decide to have a summit with North Korea and not consult his secretary of state before announcing it. If you’re secretary of state, you’re usually either in Foggy Bottom or overseas. At any given moment, this president can jump on Twitter and announce to the world that you’re wasting your time . . .. . . So utter contempt and disregard for a man trying to enact the president’s own policies. Who does the president think Rex Tillerson is, Jeff Sessions? . . .
