THE HUMILIATION OF REX TILLERSON: Despite lukewarm denials from the White House and the State Department, there is every indication this morning that the long rumored “Rexit” of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is just a matter of time, and a short time at that. The report that Tillerson was about to be shown the door began with an authorized leak to the New York Times, and was quickly confirmed by administration officials to many news organizations, including the Washington Examiner.

President Trump had a prime opportunity to knock down the report during a White House photo op with the crown prince of Bahrain yesterday, but in response to a shouted question, “Do you want Rex Tillerson on the job, Mr. President?” Trump simply answered, “He’s here. Rex is here,” and then shut down the questioning.
