In a rare public appearance yesterday in Houston, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sat down for an interview with Bob Schieffer of CBS and the former ExxonMobil executive didn't hold back:
It's challenging for me coming from the disciplined, highly process-oriented ExxonMobil Corporation… to go to work for a man 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. But rather just kind of says, 'Look, this is what I believe and you can try to convince me otherwise,' but most of the time you're not going to do that.
OK, it's not like Tillerson called him a moron here. But it was too much for Trump who took to Twitter this afternoon to call him "dumb as a rock" and "lazy as hell".
Fourteen months ago, I asked at exactly what point did Tillerson conclude Trump was a moron.
In this spirit, I'll pose this question to President Trump. Exactly at what point did you conclude Tillerson was "dumb as a rock"?
Was it a week after you appointed him?
Was it when the "moron" story broke?
Or was it only this morning when you heard Tillerson call you undisciplined in public and you figured a tweet would move people away from talking about Robert Mueller's probe? Well, if it worked it only worked for a few hours as Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen will soon face prison. Trump could one day join him. In which case who exactly is dumb as a rock?
