Good morning! The puppies have been pottied and the coffee has brewed. The only thing missing from completing a lovely breakfast with Grandpoppy, is the sliced avocados topping our scrambled eggs. I was eating cheesy scrambled eggs covered with delicious Cholula Hot Sauce, when something occurred to me. Amid all the Trump hubbub, going on daily in the news, Rex Tillerson, is one name seldom mentioned.
It seems a little odd that only one actor in "Trump's Greatest Show On Earth" 3 ring circus, seems to remain elusive and somewhat invisible, from the hot glare of the media's spotlight. Tillerson is nearly a virtual camera-shy recluse, carefully and quietly retreating from the Hollywood-like, media hogs in Trump's cabinet.
Why would a man like Rex Tillerson, unexpectedly and inexplicably disappear so quickly and quietly from Trump's political landscape? He is a rich, well-educated, international businessman with vast world-wide business connections, a celebrated recipient of the Russian Order of Friendship Medal awarded by Vladimir Putin in 2013 and recently appointed U.S. Secretary of State by Pres. Trump. Why did he accept the position in the beginning?
There has not been a peep heard from him about the Venezuelan oil issue in play at this time. He has not been instrumental in any sanction hearings or meetings regarding Exxon, Citgo or Russian and American oil interests. Why would that be for a man representing himself as America's Sec. of State? What is the level of Tillerson's involvement? Undeniably, Tillerson is Putin's favorite oily American Eagle Scout. Is Rex Wayne keeping silent to avoid getting his rat tail caught in an uncomfortable crack? Tillerson's possibly attempting to quietly engineer a way to gently extricate himself from Trump, thereby avoiding a situation that could require ripping a strip of his skin off, as he scurries away from the natural disaster that is ... Trump.
While many shoes, are currently dropping in Washington, D.C. lately, it will be interesting in the days ahead, to sit back and watch whether Tillerson will become another one of Trump's soon-to-be departed and "shoeless" diplomats, who have had the rug pulled out from under them. Tillerson may be headed back to the crude boardrooms of big Texas oil interests.
When will Mr. Tillerson leave Trump's close circle of clowns? Why? What are the real reasons that motivate Sec of State Tillerson to leave? Where will he go next? The whole intrigue of "gum-shoeing"and investigating Rex Tillerson's geopolitical business adventures, is just as educational and entertaining as the 1991 PBS after school series, "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?"
So...where's Tillerson been and where is he going? Follow the money trail.
"Boner Appertite!"
