Trump is throwing his friends away like trash.
Trump won the IQ contest.
He's leaving before more indictments come, seems like the smart play to me.

RE: Tillerson on the way out?
Perhaps tillerson was brought on to clear out the dredge in the state department, reports he has done a good job at this, and is now ready to move on.
Business men bring people in to do a job and then when the job is done the people move on. Unlike politicians who get elected and never want to step away

What are you talking about? I was giving my opinion on why Tillerson might be moving on.
Again
Business people move on when the job is done
Politicians hang on as long as humanly possible, see the bright young faces of democratic party leadership
A person thinking from a political POV cannot understand why anyone would voluntarily step down from a position like Secretary of State
From a business perspective it's completely logical.

RE: Tillerson on the way out?
Well since Trump has p*ssed off all our allies, carries Putin's water for him, endorsed one side in the Saudi prices fight, cavorted with dictators for the sole purpose of getting flattery for himself, and abandoned long standing US support for democracy and human rights.....well then, he's done quite enough.
Highlight of the week...starting a twitter war with pro-Brexit UK PM Theresa May, after he promulgated extremist propaganda (some of which was clearly false).
Looks like the adults (probably from both parties too) are sending Obama on an unofficial trip to China, India, and Europe to calm everyone down. That doesn't happen unless you're asked to go.

Doesn't Britain need a trade deal?
I'm sure they will be fine with Trump

Actually the important entity in that case would be the US Senate. I thought we weren't about giveaway trade deals?
Europe is FAR more important to the UK right now as far as trade deals go.
I suspect that, if anything, May probably wants to put any deal with the US on the back burner because they don't want to upset the Europeans.
Either way, Trump can't even get along with pro-Brexit adults in Britain.

Based on your scenario, and knowing Trump is going to be President for full term, what is your advice. How would you do good for America and American people?

25th Amendment is the best option. Have the cabinet announce that DJT is mentally unfit to be President and remove him.
If the GOP is unwilling to do that (act based upon the needs of the nation), then my job is to elect Democrats everywhere in order to pressure them via self interest to do what is best for the country.
Trump is mentally unstable, he's not playing 3D chess. He's playing twitter troll and white nationalist. And he's likely compromised by Putin.
There's no adult moment coming from him. He's getting worse. And you all know it.
Under no circumstances do I support his slavish devotion to Putin, his slavish devotion to dictators, his boorish behavior, his white nationalism, his opposition to human rights, his needless warmongering, and his attacks on our allies and those with whom we have shared goals.
I'm doing my part to get rid of him. What are YOU doing to get rid of him.
