His career really went down the toilet.

Outgoing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was reportedly sitting on the loo when the White House chief of staff called to deliver the bad news.

Tillerson, who was on a trip to Africa, was suffering from a stomach bug when Chief of Staff John Kelly informed him to return to DC and be on the lookout for a presidential tweet, according to the Daily Beast.

Kelly was speaking in an off-the-record meeting with reporters when he made the potty revelation. It was later leaked to the website.

During the call, the chief of staff told Tillerson to cut short his diplomatic trip and added, “You may get a tweet,” The New York Times reported.

Days later, President Trump delivered the message via the social media app.

“Mike Pompeo, Director of the CIA, will become our new Secretary of State. He will do a fantastic job!” Trump tweeted to the entire world.

“Thank you to Rex Tillerson for his service! Gina Haspel will become the new Director of the CIA, and the first woman so chosen. Congratulations to all!”

The tweet was followed by a phone call to Tillerson from the commander in chief, confirming his dismissal.
