I would like to say yes, but he is petulant enough to just decide to do it on his own.

Maybe not directly, as with a phone call, but somehow he got the message. Whatever Putin has on Trump must be much, much worse than peeing hookers and I hope we eventually find out what it is.

I think Putin ordered Trump to fire him and Trump complied.

Tillerson supports it and wanted to keep it. Trump does not. Putin wants to keep the Iran deal so he is on Tillerson's side. So the premise of the poll does not make much sense.
