If anything I actively avoid using services from prominent leave voters, like xrw newspapers (sun/daily mail etc) and the likes of Wetherspoons bars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumps special relationship is with Putin and no one else. Trump does have a lot of mutual connections with Putin - that are worrying. However Pompeo is much more of a war hawk than Tillerson - the sacking could very well be connected to Tillerson being less desperate for upping the war games against Iran. Also could be related to the quotes in "Fire and Fury" where Tillerson is alleged to have called Trump a moron.

Also could be related to the quotes in "Fire and Fury" where Tillerson is alleged to have called Trump a moron. Tillerson didn't know how to play Trump. He made the mistake of trying explain how in international diplomacy there are very few simple solutions and that sometimes a bad deal is better than no deal at all. Trump thought he was patronising him and was fed up of not being able to make headline grabbing news. Pompeo has met him every morning for intelligence briefings and knows to say "Yessir, brilliant idea, I'll get right on it", then come back the next day and tell him he's just found out some very bad consequences if his plan was carried out, and what a shame as it was a great plan. Hopefully his attitude to the Iran deal is more mouth than action. Edited March 15, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
