Perhaps you recall he was Trump&#8217;s initial secretary of state. Trump nominated the tough-talking Texan, the one-time Exxon-Mobil chief executive officer to lead our diplomatic corps. He didn&#8217;t last very long in the job, about 13 months.<\/p>\n<p>He called Trump a &#8220;fu**ing moron,&#8221; never denied saying it and then got canned via Twitter message that Trump fired off.<\/p>\n<p>Tillerson wasn&#8217;t an effective secretary of state, to be sure. How could he be, given that he reported to a numbskull who undercut him at every turn?<\/p>\n<p>And, yes, he was right about the moronic status of the then-POTUS.<\/p>\n<p>What in the world is this fellow thinking these days as we watch the 1\/6 committee zero in on Trump, his key aides and the events that led to the insurrection against the government?<\/p>\n<p>He probably doesn&#8217;t wish to be thrust back under the glare of the political spotlight.
