Pompeo’s joke about Trump firing him on Twitter was in reference to his predecessor Rex Tillerson, who the president dismissed in a tweet last March.
When asked how long he intends to stay in his role on Monday, Mike Pompeo joked that he’ll continue being the U.S. Secretary of State until President Donald Trump “tweets” him out of office.

He demands the State Department deliver on the things we’ve said.”
