Forums - Politics Discussion - Trump To Name Pro-Putin Exxon Mobil CEO As SoS, Goldman Sachs President To Econ Council Dir.

Looks like Trump made Romney look like a fool again by having him grovel for the SoS job only to give it to someone else considerably less qualified.

He's given the key position of Secretary of State to former Exxon Mobil billionaire CEO Rex Tillerson. One of the interesting things about Tillerson are his close ties to Putin:

In 2013, Tillerson was awarded the Order of Friendship by Vladimir Putin

Tillerson's lobbied in the past to drop sanctions against Russia. So I'm guessing this was the price for Russia supporting Trump, they get a pass on sanctions and will get to do as they please in Eastern Europe. Perhaps Trump will also gut NATO further as part of the deal. 

Oh and not surprisingly, Trump has named another Goldman Sachs big wig (this would be the 4th or 5th big position in his cabinet tied to Goldman Sachs). This time it's Gary Cohn, who's actually Goldman Sachs president and COO. Truly a cabinet full of billionaires. 

And just for lulz, Trump has appointed big oil lobbyist Scott Pruitt to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ... that's right an oil lobbyist in charge of protecting the environment. 

The swamp just got 10 feet higher?

The other thing that worries me about an Exxon Mobile CEO in a secretary of state position is the last administration that had ties to big oil (Halliburton and George W. Bush/Dick Cheney), the US got itself into a war with Iraq for no good reason. Oil execs are alway blinded by their greed.



make the swamp great again



No wonder Putin was threatening war if Hillary won he wouldn't have someone on the inside of the white house otherwise.

I wonder who with ties to North Korea is going to get in.

I still cant believe Trump fooled so many people, and got them to vote for him.

Is he going to bring back jobs to the US? NO.

Is he going to build a wall to mexico? NO.

Is He going to make america great again? Well he ll waste alot of money on military.... why would he need that? wars incomeing.



We're going to build a beautiful swamp. The best swamp. A bigly swamp. The best. And we're going to make Mexico pay for it.

The bit on Igor Sechin and Rex Tillerson is interesting. This likely is who Russia wanted for Secretary of State.

You need to change your headline! Trump hasn't named anyone secretary of state yet.
