Just because you are head of an obscenely wealthy oil company that is in bed with Russia financially doesn't mean you will be a good Secretary of State. In fact that does just the opposite. He cannot be trusted to put aside his Exxon company ties/loyalty/allegiance and put the United States of America first. He never has in his capacity as Exxon head. He will lift all sanctions on Russia to benefit Exxon. Because of the sanctions Exxon is prevented from drilling in over 63 million acres of Russian land. Billions of dollars of business of business for Exxon FROZEN. Do you really believe he will enforce/increase the sanctions? Trump would fire him. Better he not be in that position. A figurehead/a beard/a front. What good is one when everyone knows that's all he is?
