end of last year this change was going to happen and pompeo was going to be the guy. there were reports he was talking to a lot of people, getting himself ready. what s going to be very different is the public facing aspect. he has to be the diplomat in chief. pompeo is reasonably well prepared for this. he had a lot of time in congress before taking on the cia job. the president gets someone who is closer to his own views and beliefs on virtually every issue. rex tillerson was on the opposite side from the president. he wanted to stay in the paris climate accord, in the transpacific partnership. he wanted to afr vovoid a meltd between saudi arabia and qatar. time and again he was on the other side of the fence. now the president gets someone much more in line with his own thinking. it s interesting, david chalian, we re getting reporting in house that on friday the president approached tillerson about this.
