Why do you think Rex Tillerson's various diatribes and sour grapes are even important. He evidently couldn't do what the job required so he blames his problems on everyone else.

As one of the country's top executives, he should show some class -- and keep his opinions to himself. Now he's just another dork.

Consider the source. In the 80's NYT carried an article in which Trump said he could learn all there is to know about nuclear weaponry in about an hour and a half. In security updates and briefings ... I think that is about all the time he gave them. Man ... don't I feel safe. I'm sure you do too.


I don't know Tillerson ... but I do know Trump.

Trump is woefully equipped to deal with Washington's entrenched bureaucracy, but honestly I dont blame him for not reading/reviewing the mind numbing scribblings of the establishment. Tillerson is just frustrated he couldnt get Trumps mind right

I'd hardly call a former CEO of Exxon a milquetoast. And that Trump Twitter response calling Tillerson dumb as a rock. This was an official communication from a President of the United States with wordage that sounded like some adolescent whose feelings got hurt.

Are you sure you are speaking of Tillerson here?

One of the comments Tillerson made during that interview had a powerful effect on me, making me stop and think about my own intellectual life.

Quote:
“I will be honest with you: It troubles me that the American people seem to want to know so little about issues — that they are satisfied with 128 characters,” Tillerson said.
I've been guilty, too, of being satisfied with soundbites, and I'm working to change that. The difficult issues facing the United States both at home and abroad deserve more time and effort from all of us, no matter what our individual place in society.

haha Tillerson should be grateful for the mass ignorance, because if people really the truth behind the "issues", he and his fellow swampers would be marched out from behind their oak desks at bayonet point and strung up in the street.
The best thing about Trump are his verbal attacks on these reprobates

Would you care to explain further, or do you just want to stick with vague criticisms?
