First, the quote from former Secretary of State Rex "Rexxon" Tillerson:
“So often, the president would say, ‘Here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it,’” he explained. “And I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law.’”
“It was challenging for me coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented ExxonMobil Corp to go to work for a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things,” Tillerson added. (our emphasis)Truth:
Tillerson's public description of Trump is pretty close to his private "fucking moron" description https://t.co/YWe5tJVa4O— Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) December 7, 2018
Quick! To the twitter machine! A response is required from Dolt 45 (a.k.a., Individual 1):
Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him. His predecessor, Rex Tillerson, didn’t have the mental capacity needed. He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell. Now it is a whole new ballgame, great spirit at State!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2018
