Rex Tillerson’s time in the White House had been a roller coaster one. He had faced rough times from the President at times. He was also guilty of making mistakes that proved costly to him.
For a while now Tillerson faced constant rumors of getting fired. These reports were always denied by the White House.
Trump’s relationship with Tillerson worsened after talk arose that he called him a moron. The biggest sign of trouble was noticed when Tillerson said negotiations with North Korea would begin.
However Trump tweeted that this won’t happen, telling Tillerson not to bother with that. This seemed a sign of lack of communication among them.
“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” Trump said.
Tillerson Denial
Tillerson doesn’t expect to leave his job anytime soon. He continued unfazed despite speculation, even from his own staff. He had already cited plans to visit allies in 2018.
The relationship between these two men still continued even though it looked shaky. Tillerson had fared better than many of his counterparts; many persons had come and gone. However Tillerson was still on the job.
“This is all about modernizing the department and making it easier to complete your mission,” told employees. He focused on visiting other Nations to continue dialogue.
