This is where Trump's problems begin. He wants to put Rex Tillerson in as the Secretary of State, and his former position was with Exxon and he is very friendly to Russia. Suddenly the State Department wants to import oil from Russia? Why? Is this really the first priority of the Secretary of State?

Hmmm...
Let's think about this a second. With Rex in charge, he might do some shifty government stuff to help Exxon. He will exit Exxon with $180 Mil, but he might still be involved in it the way Cheney was with Haliburton.
Trump is besties with Poot.
Poot is besties with Rex.
The US produces a shit-ton of fossil fuel energy, as does Russa.
Does Poot own any stock in Exxon? Maybe.
What would be the end-game here? If Exxon were to somehow able to gobble up all of the fossil fuel spots in the US, that would benefit Trump, The Pooter, and Rex. But this seems kind of boring because doesn't Exxon already own most of it?
If there was some kind of crazy oil power-play about to go down, what could it be?
