Face the truth: Secretary Of State Rex Tillerson was a horrible cabinet officer, totally unqualified, having no background in diplomacy, and a detriment to the State Department and its long term future.
But having said that, Tillerson opposed Trump on many issues, and we know he said that Trump was a F—-Moron, which Trump. most assuredly, is!
But Tillerson was kept on until now, and now former Tea Party Kansas Republican Congressman Mike Pompeo, head of the Central Intelligence Agency, will replace him, which is not good long term, as Pompeo is a sycophant, and war with North Korea and Iran are much more likely events as a result. This would be a repeat of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld foisted upon us!
The fear is this is just the beginning of another big purge, as Trump clearly wants sycophants surrounding him, making him ever more dangerous in both foreign and domestic policy.
So expect more hard line, right wingers to take control, unless somehow Trump can be removed from office.
Expect John Kelly, White House Chief of Staff; H. R. McMaster, National Security Adviser; Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education; Ben Carson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; First Daughter Ivanka Trump; son in law Jared Kushner; and Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be gone sometime later this year, and others may follow them.
This is not a defense of these people, who are all despicable, but simply a sign that Trump is out to “clean house”, and becomes more dangerous every day.
In a fundraising speech in Missouri last night, Trump bragged about his ignorance and lies.

President Trump announced today that he was replacing his entire cabinet with Ben Carson’s discarded dinette set.
When Secretary of Education Betsy Devos was asked if she planned to keep in touch with fellow underperforming members, she stated, “Maybe I Should”.
HAHA, good one, Paul! 🙂
Trump is putting people from Fox News into cabinet positions, etc.

Trump got rid of McCabe.

In my mind, Princess Leia, this is the breaking point!
We MUST have a massive March On Washington and demand the immediate removal of Trump and Jeff Sessions, and their arrest and prosecution for violation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights!
Trump is trying to become an authoritarian dictator, and he MUST be stopped NOW!
This is a constitutional crisis much greater than Richard Nixon and Watergate!

OMG! McMaster is out and is being replaced by war hawk, John Bolton.

I would think war with North Korea and Iran are likely by the end of 2018! 🙁
