Rex Tillerson reportedly found out he was fired from his position as Secretary of State the same way everyone else did: He saw it on Twitter.
Tillerson, the State Department announced via its own statement, has no idea why he was fired by a man who quite literally made a despicable living by repeatedly emitting a catchphrase on TV about firing people. As for the legacy of Tillerson's extremely brief run as Secretary of State, it's of a similarly high level of absolute shit as Trump's own legacy as POTUS.
"Tillerson would be at or near the bottom of the list of secretaries of state, not just in the post-Second World War world but in the record of US secretaries of state," U.S. foreign policy scholar Paul Musgrave poetically toldVox Tuesday.
Ilan Goldenberg, who previously served alongside John Kerry at the State Department, agrees:
In semi-related Trump news, adult film star Stormy Daniels—according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal—is seeking a new judge for her suit against the neo-Nazi-sympathizer-in-chief. Daniels' lawyer has argued that it’s inappropriate for Judge Elizabeth Feffer of Los Angeles Superior Court to preside over the case because she is seeking a federal appointment.
