Government
Agency Checkride Nearly Complete - Pompeo could be headed to Foggy Bottom
2017-10-07
[The Hill] Advisers and allies of President Trump have suggested replacing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, according to an Axios report.

Trump is said to have a good rapport with Pompeo, who delivers the President's Daily Brief. According to Axios, Pompeo would be seen by world leaders as a member of Trump's inner circle in a way Tillerson is not.

At the same time, however, White House chief of staff John Kelly has reportedly urged the president against high-level shake-ups before next year, fearing that it would only add to the chaos in the administration.
Results oriented, business executive T-Rex, unfamiliar with the 'swamp' and far too much of a beltway outsider, fails to understand Foggy Bottom inter-agency, swampish nuances. Oh WAIT !

We used to refer to it as... 'the last man in the office to see the boss syndrome.'
