This ought to make for an interesting confirmation hearing.
Can you imagine how the far left will soil their pants over an oil CEO as Secretary of State?
Trump is a genius.

And the fact that there are numerous photos of Tillerman with Putin is icing on the cake.

Rex Tillerson of Exxon Mobil Expected to Be Named Trump's Secretary of State: Sources
by Andrea Mitchell
Tillerson, 64, became president of the Texas-based oil company in 2004 and has a close business relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has spent his entire career at the company now known as Exxon Mobil.
Tillerson will be paired with former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton as his deputy secretary of state for day-to-day management of the department, one source added.
As secretary of state, Tillerson would be fourth in line to the presidency.

NBC News: Trump Chooses Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State
Tillerson has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin that go back almost two decades. He was awarded the country’s Order of Friendship and as recently as 2015 visited with officials in Putin’s inner circle. That connection could make him a useful bridge between the Russian leader and Trump, who has repeatedly said he’d seek a more cooperative relationship with Moscow.
Sen. John McCain on Saturday that's concerning.
"You have to examine it. You want to give the president of the United States the benefit of the doubt because the people have spoken, but Vladimir Putin is a thug, a bully and a murderer, and anybody who describes him as anything else is lying," McCain said.
"We cannot have an accommodation with the Russians until they understand what Ronald Reagan taught them and that is peace through strength. Right now we have no peace and we have no strength. I don't know what Mr. Tillerson's relationship with Vladimir Putin was, but I'll tell you it is a matter of concern to me," McCain said.
Under Tillerson's leadership, Russia became Exxon’s single biggest exploration theater as the company amassed drilling rights across tens of millions of acres, dwarfing its holdings in its home country, formerly its largest drilling opportunity, according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
When the Putin regime forced Royal Dutch Shell Plc and other foreign investors to cede control of a massive gas export project on Sakhalin Island in 2007, Exxon’s holdings in the same region remained intact and untouched by the government.
