[Secretary of State Rex "Rexxon"] Tillerson stunned a handful of senior administration officials when he called the president a “moron” after a tense two-hour long meeting in a secure room at the Pentagon called "The Tank," according to three officials who were present or briefed on the incident. The July 20 meeting came a day after a meeting in the White House Situation Room on Afghanistan policy where Trump rattled his national security advisers by suggesting he might fire the top U.S. commander of the war and comparing the decision-making process on troop levels to the renovation of a high-end New York restaurant, according to participants in the meeting. (our emphasis)Later in the summer, Rexxon was talked out of resigning by (purported) fellow adults Defense Secretary James Mattis and White (Supremacist) House Chief of Staff and Trump babysitter John Kelly.
Rump, in his normal moron mode, continues to undercut Rexxon and other members of his regime on an almost daily basis. You may have seen Rump's tweets coming on the heels of Rexxon's meeting with Chinese President Xi to discuss the North Korea crisis:
...Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2017
These "adults" should keep in mind that even a moron -- especially a moron -- can get you killed.
UPDATE: Turns out Rexxon's actual words were "fucking moron." Again, not diplomatic, but true -- oh so true!
UPDATE II: While Rump and his minions are frantically denying Rexxon said any such thing, Rexxon himself is not denying he said what he said. (Musical accompaniment to this post.)
