1. Why he doesn't just quit and tell Trump to kiss his ass is beyond me.

He's not at all good at being SoS, but he used to be a respected leader of a huge (if perhaps somewhat evil) corporation, and apparently he was competent at that job. But by working for Trump and not quitting even after Trump repeatedly undercut him, he's trashed whatever remains of his reputation. Instead of being a respected "captain of industry" he's a toady to a guy who has neither intelligence nor integrity. Trump is a moron. Why wouldn't Tillerson just say, "Yeah, I called him a moron because he's a moron. And I quit, and fuck him."
