Remember Rex Tillerson, Trump’s largely accomplishment-free Secretary of State?
Well he’s back, this time with some long overdue criticism of our Commander in Chief.
On Thursday, Tillerson spoke at a fundraiser for for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. The former Secretary of State “let loose,” as much as that limestone rock of a man can be loose about anything.
“When the President would say, ‘Here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it.’ And I’d have to say to him, ‘Well Mr. President, I understand what you want to do, but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law. It violates treaty,'” Tillerson said.
Tillerson also complained that it was challenging to move from a “disciplined, highly-process oriented” corporation to work for Trump, “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.”
In the past, it was rumored that Tillerson once called Trump a “moron.”
Here’s what our normal, mature President had to say in response:
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!

Yes, the president called Tillerson “dumb as a rock” and “lazy as hell.”
And here’s how Twitter responded:
Why did the President hire someone dumb as a rock? Asking for a friend.

“Looked up ‘Tea for the Tillerson’, realized somebody had already said it, felt disappointed.” <— What Twitter has done to me.

One person, however, said it better than any of us:
It is possible that Trump and Tillerson are both correct.

At least Twitter isn’t as dumb as a rock today.
