Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is ill and canceled all his planned events in Africa on Saturday.

“The Secretary is not feeling well after a long couple days working on major issues back home such as North Korea,” Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein told media outlets traveling with Tillerson.

"Some events will go ahead without him, while they are looking at the possibility of rescheduling others," said Goldstein, who is under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs.

Tillerson is on a working Africa tour that includes stops in Kenya, Chad, Nigeria, Djibouti and Ethiopia.

[studog]

that's fucked up equating him being sick to possibly dying

 

[hal9000]

no, just done being in govt. This would provide a convenient rationale for Team Trump, who are already looking to shake things up.

 

[Woke AF]

Wonder if they plan to replace him with.... hmmm Ted Nugent.

Remember when Hillary got sick? They claimed she didn't have enough stamina.

Trump told us just a few weeks ago that this was FAKE NEWS. I'm starting not to believe the President when he says such things.

Trump Denies Russian Guilt in Murder. Tillerson Admits It, Is Fired. Hmm.


Every Trump administration personnel shake-up is a noir story of terrible, incompetent people squabbling with other terrible, incompetent people. But one thing that stands out about the firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is that Tillerson explicitly identified Russia as the culprit in the murder of Sergei Skripal in the United Kingdom, and Donald Trump did not.

Yesterday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders condemned the murder as “reckless,” but repeatedly declined to endorse the United Kingdom’s conclusion that Russia was behind it. This exchange with reporters is quite odd:

The firing comes the day after Tillerson publicly criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling the Kremlin "an irresponsible force of instability in the world" following an alleged nerve agent attack in Britain likely perpetrated by Russia.

It's almost as if 45 is on Russia's side more than he is America's side.

After he stood with our UK ally yesterday, Rex Tillerson, who was awarded Russia's highest honor by Vladimir Putin himself, has proved himself to be too anti-Russia for the Trump administration.
