Tillerson may make early exit from State Department: report
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is expressing growing frustration with the Trump administration and may be considering resigning from his role, according to a report from CNN Monday morning.
Though the former CEO of ExxonMobil Corp. has said that he would stay on as the top U.S. diplomat until the end of the year at least, several anonymous sources told CNN over the weekend that he might leave earlier than that.
Sources familiar with Tillerson conversations with friends outside Washington admit the secretary of State may just be venting, but they sense his doubts about President Trump are growing.

As CEO of Exxon-Mobil, Tillerson is vastly more qualified to be POTUS than Drumpf, Pence ...

Comparing to Trump is like dividing by zero, but the entire idea that government is like a company

Agreed. Continually undercut by Kushner, no resources to hire staff, sidelined at meetings

Mattis and McMasters apparently thought they could influence Trump to not be nuts.

IMHO Trump told Tillerson that SoS was so easy - just hold job until sanctions are lifted.
