WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, President Donald Trump let the world know that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was out of a job and would be replaced, less than a day after Tillerson slammed a nerve agent attack in Britain by Russia.
According to a tweet early Tuesday from President Donald J. Trump, “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!”
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!
Monday, Tillerson’s last major move in his capacity as Secretary of State was to slam the apparent use of a nerve agent to poison a former spy in Britain and acknowledge Russia’s continued bad behavior across the globe:
Tillerson (right) with Russian diplomat
The United States was in touch with our Allies in the United Kingdom ahead of today’s announcement, including in a call between Secretary Tillerson and Foreign Secretary Johnson this morning. We have full confidence in the UK’s investigation and its assessment that Russia was likely responsible for the nerve agent attack that took place in Salisbury last week.There is never a justification for this type of attack – the attempted murder of a private citizen on the soil of a sovereign nation – and we are outraged that Russia appears to have again engaged in such behavior. From Ukraine to Syria – and now the UK – Russia continues to be an irresponsible force of instability in the world, acting with open disregard for the sovereignty of other states and the life of their citizens.
We agree that those responsible – both those who committed the crime and those who ordered it – must face appropriately serious consequences. We stand in solidarity with our Allies in the United Kingdom and will continue to coordinate closely our responses.
The White House has not, so far, acknowledged the Russia nerve agent attack.
It will be a joyous day for the people when Donald Trump is convicted and sent to jail…but the media will be sad to see papa clown go. Having enjoyed the widest viewership ratings in all of the media’s history, the passing of Father Clown away from his darling reporter children, will be caninized in media textbooks as the greatest show EVER on this political earth. Orange will be the new Orange.

If ya don’t like it…..get outta theway
President Trump is in full command of what he does. He does it with no apologies if you are in the way of Keep America Great! you are done as it should be. It is expected that it has taken awhile to find who is truly on the Trump train. President Trump is keeping his promises to the American people!! Couldn’t be happier with what and how he is doing it !!
Doesn’t look like anybody can stay on the Trump Train for long. Personal aide and secretary of state out just today. Last one out of Dumpville turn off the lights.

Dump’s boss, Putin, told him to put a lid on that fast, and he did it.
if we had an educated opinion , it would even be worse. Getting rid of so many cabinet members in this amount of time means the man in charge is a terrible boss either for picking them in the first place or being a horrible judge of character. And I voted for the SOB , yes you heard me , SOB
Dont be too hard on yourself. We were given a choice between a B and an SOB. I voted for the B basically because I feared *this*, but make no mistake, it would have been 4 miserable years no matter.

Worst President in the history of our great nation is Mr Trump
And that’s your uneducated opinion, based on the view from the rear.
