За развал, который он устроил в Госдепе, Рекс Тиллерсон продолжает подвергаться нещадной критике, с призывами к отставке.

Неоконсерватор Макс Бут пишет:

Tillerson recently expressed nostalgia for his old job as ExxonMobil CEO. Barring a miraculous turnaround, the United States would be well served if he were to return to his former occupation.

Политолог Дэниел Дрезнер, который ведёт колонку в Washington Post, пишет:

He has been so bad at every facet of his job that I am no longer worried about who Trump would pick to replace him. At this point, an inanimate carbon rod would be a better secretary of state than Rex Tillerson.

Но кое-что в поведении Тиллерсона в последнее время изменилось. В интервью Fox News он позволил себя однозначно дистанцироваться от Трампа.

WALLACE: Does that make it harder for you to push American values around the world when some foreign leaders question president's values?
REX TILLERSON, SECRETARY OF STATE: Chris, we express America's values from the State Department. We represent the American people. We represent America's values, our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment to people the world over. And that message has never changed.
WALLACE: And when the president gets into the kind of controversy he does and the U.N. committee response the way it does, it seems to say they begin to doubt are -- whether we're living those values.
TILLERSON: I don't believe anyone doubts the American people's values or the commitment of the American government or the government's agencies to advancing those values and defending those values.
WALLACE: And the presidents values?
TILLERSON: The president speaks for himself, Chris.
