Axios reports that Trump is considering forcing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson out of his administration and replacing him with current CIA Director Mike Pompeo, whom Trump is reportedly more comfortable dealing with on a regular basis.

Insiders say Trumps relationship with Tillerson is broken beyond repair, Axios reports. Were told Trump was furious that Tillerson didnt try to blunt the story about him calling the president a moron, by just going out and denying it.
Trump was also reportedly angry that Tillersons moron comment overshadowed footage of him trying to comfort shooting victims in Las Vegas.
After what Trump considered a strong trip to Vegas, he seethed when he got back and saw Tillersons gaffe dominating cable-news coverage, Axios writes. Everywhere he flipped, there was Tillersons face instead of his.

(720 posts)To put into words how completely unqualified Trump is for the office he holds. And that's before you even get into how disgusting a person he is. How any American can still support Trump is beyond me.

(720 posts)That the "grab em" tape and mocking the reporter would sink his candidacy. The fact that people still supported him after that says a lot about the quality of Trump's supporters. I'm embarrassed on a daily basis by the fact that he is the president.
