It's unpleasant, but political issues like these always exist in the Executive Branch, and ultimately, Tillerson should've known that came with the territory of being a Cabinet Secretary. I don't necessarily support Trump in this, but I don't really think this is terribly abnormal either.
This is terribly abnormal.
In past administrations, there is some of this.
But this year, the orange clown has taken it to the extreme. trump is micro-managing.
He fires all US attorneys and most of the department heads .... all before he and his advisors have replacements. Why ? .... Because narcissistic and childish trump didn't get Nazi-era "loyalty pledges" or unjustly feels some sort of retaliation from this group.
So they must be immediately ejected, as if he was some kind of dictator who would even "terminate" his own uncle working for him.
