On Monday, Rex Tillerson expressed a good deal of pissed-offed-ness over the way that Donald Trump was tossing hand-grenades at the Attorney General.
Among those who viewed the President's public rebuke of Sessions as unprofessional, according to several sources, is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the former Exxon-Mobil CEO.
Tillerson had been trying to gut out an entire year with Trump, but from the word leaking from the State Department yesterday, Trump’s treatment of Sessions was enough to reminder Tillerson that Trump regards everyone as not just disposable, but open to a continuing campaign of public humiliation meant to wound. With a healthy side of salt. On Monday, that led to the possibility of an early “Rexit.”
And now…
Of course, there is the possibility that Rex Tillerson is still somewhere in the State Department. Considering all those dark, empty offices, it’s easy to get lost. And considering the way Trump treats his people, it’s easy to see why Tillerson might want to stay that way.
