The change in Tillersons tone followed a stressful week for Tillerson. He was found to have violated U.S. sanctions against Russia while working as the CEO of Exxon-Mobil and Trump publicly assailed his fellow Cabinet member Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who Trump said he regretted hiring.
Tillerson, the sources said, viewed Trumps comments as unprofessional.
Early Monday Trump again attacked Sessions on Twitter, calling him beleaguered and wondering aloud why he wasnt investigating Trumps campaign rival Hillary Clinton.
The sources acknowledged that Tillerson could have been venting after a tough week, but his frustration is just the latest in a long list of times he has butted heads with the president and Trump administration.

What if no sane, competent people can stand to be in the Trump madhouse. It must be like working for the Joker -- except the Joker is actually good at what he does, even if he is batshit (heh heh) crazy.

Won't he be needed to get all that out of the ground?

(733 posts)3. Yess, Tillerson is just a place holder because Putin wanted
someone with ties to him as SoS to make sure sanctions were lifted. But it's dragging on . . .Tillerson only said he would recuse himself from Exxon issues for 1 year.
Trump has been trying to soften public opinion of Russia so he can lift sanctions, but the Mueller investigation has held that up.
