TRUMP DOES PICK TILLERSON AS SECRETARY OF STATE.

An in your face gesture by Trump. The book on ExxonMobil by Steven Coll says that Tillerson preferred deals with autocratic or totalitarian regimes. And in fact steered Exxon Mobil to these opportunities. He felt he could avoid any oversight by a democratic government or be subject to the rule of law.

However,he has some strange quirks. Under his control,ExxonMobil recognizes claimed change and man's role in it. His argument is that oil helped billions out of poverty. His solution is terra-forming,radically changing the environment to a more agriculture friendly zone. 

It will be interesting to see whether he advocates keeping America's commitment to the Paris Climate Change Accords. 

No one knows his positions on nuclear proliferation, the Middle East, China or the developing world.
