Tillerson was a horrible, ineffectual SOS that has done tremendous damage to the State Department

that will reverberate for years.

That said, I can NOT help but be incensed at his being fired by a tweet. I just don't think anyone, short of those being hauled out under criminal charges, deserves such disrespect. I read a DUer's account of how he ran Exxon, so I hold no illusions that Tillerson was someone to be deeply admired, but still.

Will this resonate with others who might otherwise have been constantly defending Trump? Might this be part of a cumulative effect that begins to chip away at the few "rationals" who supported him?
