President Donald Trumps Secretary of State is working hard and doing his best, but that doesnt mean his future in the position is certain.
Appearing on Fox News new Laura Ingraham show Thursday night, Trump said there are some people within the State Department that Im not happy with there, but praised Secretary of State Rex Tillersons work ethic. When asked whether Tillerson would be in the White House for the duration, Trump gave a clumsy non-answer.
Well, we will see, I dont know whos gonna be duration? I think the duration Ill tell you this, I dont think any President in nine months has done the job that weve done and that includes bills being passed by Congress
I think were close to 70 bills, maybe over 70 bills, its almost close to a record, he said, proceeding to pat himself on the back over the approval of his Supreme Court justice nominee and the economy.
The Presidents we will see answer about the fate of Tillerson follows recent reports about the pairs rocky relationship. Over the summer, Tillerson reportedly called Trump a moron and wanted to resign. In response, Trump implied he has a higher IQ than his secretary of state.
