Bill Kristol, the Dark Prince of Neo-Con Sith Lords, summed up what a lot of critics say about Trump’s reported State Secretary pick, Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson:
America First?
Umm…not so fast.
As SecState, CEO of multinational that cuts deals with one and all–the very definition of a "globalist." https://t.co/MIxOwPq16P— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 11, 2016
Here’s the Trump tweet he linked:
Whether I choose him or not for "State"- Rex Tillerson, the Chairman & CEO of ExxonMobil, is a world class player and dealmaker. Stay tuned!

Update: He also added this:
Odd: Trump supporters rally behind quintessential "globalist" for Sec State. Or does "globalist" not mean what it seems? #AskingForAHebrew

And he would know it absolutely, given he’s been accused of being that as an epithet so many times. It’s really striking to me that Trump is touting this guy as such an awesome dude when he seems to fit so many of the criticisms he had against such “globalists” during the election. He even ripped into Exxon Mobil in 2011, accusing them of colluding with the OPEC countries to fix oil prices, and said this price-fixing was WORSE than China!!! How does he square that with calling him such a great guy now?! I guess he doesn’t have to. His cult leader word is all some people need to hear.
