Rex Tillerson<\/a> has been fired as Secretary of State. He will be replaced by Mike Pompeo<\/a>. This is not really news to those who pay close attention. Pat Robertson<\/a> (who hosts the 700 Club<\/a> produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network<\/a>) predicted yesterday that Tillerson would be gone today. Why? Because Trump and Tillerson disagreed on too many major issues–Iran<\/a>, the Paris climate treaty, and North Korea<\/a>. Tillerson is not a man who is used to operating under someone else’s leadership when he dioes not agree with that leadership, and Trump is not used to having people undermining his policies when they are supposed to be supporting them. The change is probably good for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Mike Pompeo is a good choice to succeed Rex Tillerson. He graduated first in his class at West Point<\/a> and went on the Harvard to get his law degree. He worked in the business world and served in Congress before becoming head of the CIA<\/a>. It is believed that his worldview is much more compatible with President Trump than was Tillerson’s.<\/p>\n

Two qualities of a good executive are the ability to be flexible and the ability to change direction when needed. The current shuffle in the White House<\/a> is a good example of both. Although I am not sure I agree with exactly how the change was handled, it was a necessary change and needed to be done quickly. Now hopefully the President and at least some of the State Department can move in the same direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
