Of all the bad, stupid, and immoral things Trump has done - including appointing Rex Tillerson in the first place (I’d file that under “bad”), this is in many ways the most concerning to me. I think Tillerson was a bad pick, but he was Trump’s pick. To lambaste him in public in such flagrantly childish terms really speaks to someone who has no control over himself whatsoever. Cannot even file it under, as I often have, as “crazy like a fox.” If it’s not a sign of real mental instability, it certainly is a sign of a growing desperation. And maybe both.

Well last page I made note that Rex Tillerson said Trump asked him to do illegal thing and did not understand why he could just not act. So it’s just punching back.

Trump came back and insulted him, but didn't refute what Tillerson said. Why didn't he say I never asked him to break the law or I do read the briefings and get into details?

Morale at State was low under Tillerson because he was trying to downsize it, which is exactly what herr T wanted him to do and now herr T is knocking him for low morale? I could comment on the mental capacity segment or ask what was stopping him from firing Tillerson sooner or the laziness line too.

God I hope so it has been 2 years. Feel like something significant needs to happen even with how slowly this stuff takes.

The president of the US committed a felony per SDNY. Let that sink in.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Ha! The tweet storm must have made me miss it... then how about this:

Old Rex Tillerson said that he and Don did not have a compatible value systems, and the Don repeatedly asked him to take unlawful actions. He also expressed disgust that the US population is like a herd of cattle substituting 140 characters for facts, knowledge, or anything resembling deeper thought (blaming the people, not the president).


This is pretty striking and in any other time would have been completely jaw-dropping. Imagine if Obama's SOS had said it. There would have been a Fox News meltdown and we'd have 10 years of investigations.
