Trump interviewed several people to be his Secretary of State and selected Exxon's CEO Rex Tillerson for the job. At the time he praised Tillerson and said he would be a great Secretary of State. But last week with less than 14 months on the job, Trump fired Tillerson in a "tweet" while Tillerson was returning from an official trip to Africa. CNN and MSNBC both reported more than 40 people had left the Trump White House, the most turn over of any Presidential administration in their first 14 months in office. And Trump said more changes would be made soon.
Trump also attacked special counsel Mueller in a tweet, trying his best to escalate the rhetoric towards Mueller's investigation in order to discredit his work But the trumpet man has a problem with credibility and some thing new is exposed every day. As a result there is no substance to Trump's rhetoric and no one with character really wants to work for him. So the people that Trump hires will continue to leave one way or another. And to top it off, Trump has his lap dog ditto heads like Louisiana's representative Steve Scalise who officially said he supports a special counsel to investigate the FBI. It is another way for republicans to support Trump under the lie being used by Trump to discredit the FBI's investigation into the Trump-Russian connection.
Trump has an ongoing problem of attacking the people he hires and who work for him using twitter. He did so to Tillerson more than once with a reminder that it is he, Trump who makes foreign policy and decisions. No one can be on the same page as Trump because Trump likes to remind people who is boss. Who ever becomes Trumps next Secretary of State won't be on the same page as Trump either because Trump wants to control everyone.
America has a leaderless President who still can not bring himself to make public his tax returns, the most elementary act of any President or Presidential candidate. The trumpet man does indeed have something to hide besides his chaotic White House and his inability to lead the people he hires or governs. And that really says it all.
