Anyone remember Rex Tillerson? You know, Trump’s first Secretary of State?

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who once reportedly called President Donald Trump a “moron” behind closed doors, is now disparaging — on the record — his former boss’s grasp of affairs both foreign and domestic.
“His understanding of global events, his understanding of global history, his understanding of U.S. history was really limited,” the former Exxon Mobil chief told Foreign Policy magazine in an interview released this week.
quote:
“I used to go into meetings with a list of four to five things I needed to talk to him about, and I quickly learned that if I got to three, it was a home run, and I realized getting two that were meaningful was probably the best objective,” he told Foreign Policy.
He explained that he started “taking charts and pictures with me because I found that those seemed to hold his attention better.”
“If I could put a photo or a picture in front of him or a map or a piece of paper that had two big bullet points on it, he would focus on that, and I could build on that,” Tillerson told the outlet. “Just sitting and trying to have a conversation as you and I are having just doesn’t work.”
quote:
Asked by Foreign Policy how Trump made informed decisions if the president had a hard time focusing during briefings and didn’t read briefing material, Tillerson didn’t hesitate.
“Well, that’s the key,” he said. “I’m not sure many of those decisions were well-informed.”
quote:
“Nothing worked out,” he said.
The U.S. “squandered the best opportunity we had on North Korea,” Tillerson said. With Russian President Vladimir Putin, “we didn’t get anything done,” he said. And, he added, the U.S. is “nowhere with China on national security.”
“We’re in a worse place today than we were before he came in,” Tillerson said, “and I didn’t think that was possible.”

It’s not a new article, but it’s just good to get a look back inside the White House during Trump’s first term from the Secretary of State he fired by tweet.
This is the man some of you want back in the White House?

Bannon and Navarro have said repeatedly that Tillerson was in over his head and was a US Chamber of Commerce Globalist lackey.

Is that why Trump fired him on Twitter?

Sounds like Rex doesn't take 100% responsibility for his results as SoS.

Yes, I want TRUMP back.
He is the rightful POTUS anyway.

Fits the mold of Trump taking responsibility for nothing.

Pretty absurd to just blindly take them at their word

There’s absolutely nothing more fitting than a Trump supporter unironically using a gif of President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.
It’s just perfect. We’re actually in the movie.

Some nerd sky screaming about what Trump did?
I don’t want the media and DC praising my next guy. I want them to fricking hate them.
