In 2018, President Donald Trump publicly tweeted that Rex was fired from his position – according to reports, he didn’t know why he had been fired, and only found out about it through the tweet. Trump would later tell reporters that he had differences with Rex, particularly on policy, and personal chemistry. His time in office was 405 days, making his the shortest tenure as Secretary of State since Lawrence Eagleburger (1992-93). The American Foreign Service Association stated that Tillerson’s tenure saw new applications to work in the Foreign Service fell by 50%, but perhaps worse was that over 60% of long-serving career diplomats in the State Department resigned.

Personal Life

For his personal life, it is known that Tillerson has married twice, firstly in 1974 to Jamie Lee Henry with whom he had two twin boys. However, they divorced, and in 1986 he married Renda St. Clair – she has a son from a previous marriage, and the two would also later have a son together. He resides with his family in Bartonville, Texas and also has a home in Kalorama, Washington, D.C.

Tillerson is known to be a member of the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches, which is a Reformed denomination. In 2018, he gave a address at the Virginia Military Institute, stating that current leaders are building a growing crisis in ethics and integrity. He also stated that leaders are trying to conceal the truth, which will eventually relinquish the freedom of American citizens.
