Sec of State Tillerson Fired: From Bad to Worse, Iran Warmonger In
The New York Times reports Rex Tillerson Out as Trump’s Secretary of State, Replaced by Mike Pompeo.
President Trump on Tuesday ousted his secretary of state, Rex W. Tillerson, extending a shake-up of his administration, 14 months into his tumultuous presidency, and potentially transforming the nation’s economic and foreign policy.
Mr. Trump announced he would replace Mr. Tillerson with Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director and former Tea Party congressman, who forged a close relationship with the president and is viewed as being more in sync with Mr. Trump’s America First credo.
Mr. Tillerson learned he had been fired on Tuesday morning when a top aide showed him a tweet from Mr. Trump announcing the change, according to a senior State Department official.
Tweet Announcement
Trump did not even have the decency to tell Tillerson to his face.

Actually, Hillary was the worst secretary of state ever. Libya alone offers sufficient evidence. Also consider security violations for which Hillary ought to be in prison. That said, the rest of Krugman's claim has reasonable merit.
