Feud erupts as Trump calls Rex Tillerson 'dumb as a rock' and 'lazy as hell' after fired secretary of state said president is 'undisciplined', read nothing and told him to break the law
President Donald Trump insulted
his own former secretary of state Rex Tillerson as 'dumb' and 'lazy'
hours after the former diplomat revealed he considered Trump an
impulsive force with no conception of how he was constrained by law or
treaty.
Trump weighed in hours after
clips circulated of Tillerson sharing his apparent criticisms and
reservations about the man he served for a year as secretary of state.
Tillerson had called his former boss 'undisciplined' and said he didn't
even like to read his briefing books before issuing pronouncements.
'Mike Pompeo is doing a great
job, I am very proud of him,' Trump countered on twitter, mentioning
Tillerson's successor before tearing into the wealthy former oil CEO.
'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!' he concluded.
Tillerson had described President Trump in
an interview as someone almost entirely driven by impulse, who doesn't
read, and who would ask him to break the law or breach treaties in his
demands for immediate action.
Tillerson, who was pushed out
nearly 9 months ago, called Trump 'undisciplined' and said the two men
don't share the same 'value system.'
The former oil man got an
engineering degree at the University of Texas at Austin, joining Exxon
in 1975 and rising to run the company and bank millions upon his
resignation to join the Trump White House...........http://www.spiritualvigor.com/2018/12/feud-erupts-as-trump-calls-rex.html
The way it was: Rex Tillerson was
sworn in on February 1, 2017, by Mike Pence, with Trump and the new
secretary of state's wife Renda St. Clair watching happily
