I mean he didn't say that. Spin it how you want to make yourself feel better about support an orange man-child. Whatever floats your boat there Chief.

quote:
“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 the treaty, you know. He got really frustrated,” Tillerson said. “I think he grew tired of me being the guy every day who told him he can’t do that and let’s talk about what he can do.”

He said he told Trump he would be willing to “fight the fight” to change laws in Congress so the president could press forward with his agenda.

I don’t know the question that led to the quote you posted; however, if those are Tillerson’s words they are highly inflammatory and condescending. The way it was said would be spun by the left that the President is barely held back from becoming a fascist leader and is inept in the realities of the world. I would say that quote is straight crazy left wing bait.

I would say that is not fair and it was classless of Tillerson to make those comments. I would wager the context is much more mundane and controversial in the context of a brainstorming/executive level negotiation discussion behind closed doors.

Trump’s response in that context I believe was fair in a vacuum. I don’t like seeing that in a tweet as I think it just feeds his opposition. Trump is in a lose-lose as the media is so biased that no one would call out the ridiculousness of the Tillerson quote you posted. He then goes on to defend himself as no one else will, and he will get criticized again when in a vacuum it isn’t that ridiculous.
