The New York Times opening paragraph reads: "President-elect Donald J. Trump on Tuesday officially selected Rex W. Tillerson, the chief executive of Exxon Mobil, to be his secretary of state. In saying he will nominate Mr. Tillerson, the president-elect is dismissing bipartisan concerns the globe-trotting leader of an energy giant has a too-cozy relationship with Vladimir V. Putin, the president of Russia."
Which pretty much tells you everything you need to know.
Did you think Mitt Romney was going to be Secretary of State? Haha nope! According to longtime Trump pal Roger Stone, "Donald Trump was interviewing Mitt Romney for Secretary of State in order to torture him. To toy with him."
What delightful people are running our country now.
In related news, John Bolton, mustachioed Bush-era monster-under-the-bed, is reportedly being considered for the Number 2 slot at State.
Tillerson and Bolton running State is a living nightmare.
