@txradioguy While a catchy slogan worthy of only the best social media groupies. Tillerson has an outstanding background having been the CEO of Exxon. So yeah in this case he is far more qualified then the last several.
My guess is that it was Kelly who informed him.
Wasn't doubting his qualifications. I know of his reputation at Exxon and you're right he is way better than the last couple SecStates.I was laughing more at the revolving door at the WH. Trump claims he wants only the best but when the best gives him answers he doesn't like or advise him that possibly a policy he's pursuing might not be the best way to handle things...well...they get fired or verbally abused via twitter.
Deputy: Tillerson is 'unaware of the reason' for his dismissalhttp://thehill.com/homenews/administration/378083-deputy-tillerson-is-unaware-of-the-reason-for-his-dismissal
@txradioguy NO, I just heard he found out he was fired by reading a tweet by Trump. Trump is a miserable twerp (is twerp a word?)
@txradioguy Almost all administrations have a high turnover rate. Tillerson was the big cheese at Exxon, he probably didn't like having a boss.
@txradioguy Also heard he fired his personal assistant yesterday morning. I don't have the man's name.
Do you work at the White House? If so, check Trump's tweets to see if you still have a job.

This presidency has most of the hallmarks of a trashy reality tv show. All it needs now is the cat fight between two gorgeous, bikini clad babes in the swimming pool.
John McEntee...seems he was going to have some issues getting a full security clearance.
@Victoria33 Thats not quite what happened. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/13/secretary-of-state-tillerson-out-amid-clashes-with-trump-to-be-replaced-by-cia-director-pompeo-wapo.htmlTrumps tweet was a response to a Washington Post story. So what happened was the decision was made to replace Tillerson, someone leaked it, and that forced Trump to make a statement.But don't let the facts disrupt your preconceived notions.
Could be why he's gone. Unaware of his surroundings.
Donald J. Trumpâ€ï€²Verified accountï‚™ @realDonaldTrump Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!5:44 AM - 13 Mar 2018 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/973540316656623616
@driftdiver "But don't let the facts disrupt your preconceived notions."I don't do word fights like you are trying to start. I posted news about the tweet according to a news organization saying it. If someone leaked it, Trump could have called Tillerson then rather than putting it in a tweet. Regardless of how it happened, it appears Tillerson found out by reading a tweet.
Lots of comings and goings in Trump's first 18 mos! I don't know much about Pompeo, but in doing a brief search he seems more qualified than Tillerson.
I agree. I never understood how someone running a global oil company was qualification for US Secretary of State.
He came with a strong recommendation from Condi Rice. I think Pompeo was the President's first choice from the start.
Of course Tillerson is aware ... we're all aware of why he's out. He disagreed -- publicly --- with the POTUS on major policy initiatives.I hope he doesn't spend the next week whining about this ... it's unbecoming behavior from a former global CEO.
