    There is one concern.

    Knowing that the POTUS has such a short fuse of impatience with those who disagree with him he may generate a gathering of "YES" men and women surrounding him and cowtowing to him.

    Addendum: I suppose there is some value in that.

    You have zero idea what's going on Hank. You have to understand first, the battle has been up hill with the constant stream of fake news stories by anti-Trump people. We just had two examples of lies told right here in this thread. He has battled a constant steam of lies from the FBI, staff and more.

    The chaos in the Trump White house is a media matters talking point btw. Media matters is a very unified front that controls a lot of the media.....

    Well, I've always known it was not chaotic. Chaos means no control at all.

    Turbulent is a better word.

    President Trump has the control.

    This is the Trump adminstration- not the Tillerson administration. Tillerson publicly made comments in contrast to Trump policy. No one expects Tillerson to always agree, but when you are a subordinate, you don’t publicly make those comments......over & over. It’s like he was trying to be relieved, & being no dummy, it had to be intentional. That is why Trump said Rex was going to be happier back in private life. Frankly, I don’t think he wanted the position to begin with, but his wife shamed him into it. His heart wasn’t in it. He wasn’t used to not being number one. I’m not crying a tear for his loss.
