I have thought for some time Tillerson was a bad choice. Trump is a results type person and Tillerson was extremely laid back. Not a single thing accomplished or taking the lead on globally. Success in business does not mean a good diplomat.

President Donald Trump has fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, tweeting this morning that he plans to replace him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.
Trump asked Tillerson to step aside Friday, a senior White House official told ABC News today, but the State Department says Trump never spoke to Tillerson about the decision.
Trump wanted to make sure he had a team in place before the recently announced talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the official said.
Trump believes he works well with Pompeo and the decision to replace Tillerson was not based on any single issue, the official said.
Steve Goldstein, the State Department's undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, released a statement today, saying Tillerson did not speak directly to Trump.
"The secretary did not speak to the president and is unaware of the reason, but he is grateful for the opportunity to serve, and still believes strongly that public service is a noble calling," Goldstein said. "The secretary had every intention of staying because of the critical progress made in national security. He will miss his colleagues at the Department of State and the foreign ministers he has worked with throughout the world."
