It’s 2018 and “ghosting” someone you were in a relationship with? That’s so last year.
Now it’s all about Tillerson-ing people. The term, which is admittedly a real mouthful, was coined Tuesday in the wake of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson learning he was out of a job via Donald Trump’s tweets.

People have been sharing stories of the time they ended a relationship via social media or uh, non-traditional means.

As the nation reels from the firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, we’ve gotten a horrifying little bit of insight into how the firing went down. It appears that Tillerson found out he was out of a job when Trump tweeted out the news.
Trump’s tweet hit the web at 8:44 a.m., just as the first news reports about the firing were published.
Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job! Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!

Well, let’s look at what ol’ Rexy has to deal with.
North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!
