President Donald Trump on Wednesday again called his former secretary of state, Rex Tillerson,"dumb as a rock" in a tweet responding to comments Tillerson made in a closed-door meeting with lawmakers this week questioning Trump's handling of meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2017.
Tillerson told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that Putin"out-prepared" the president in a 2017 meeting in Hamburg, German that turned into a"a globe-spanning two-hour-plus session involving deliberations on a variety of geopolitical issues," according to a Democratic committee aide. The Washington Post first reported the details of Tillerson's testimony to the committee.
In a prepared statement to the committee, Tillerson said it was “no secret that President Trump and I disagreed” on some elements of foreign policy. “But at bottom, President Trump and I shared a common goal: to secure and advance America’s place in the world and to promote and protect American values.”
“My time in government is over, but I hope that my testimony today will help you as you continue to do the critical work of this Committee” Tillerson said in the statement. After a rocky partnership, Trump fired Tillerson on March 13, 2018 -- announcing the decision in a tweet. Tillerson stayed on the job until March 31.
Before joining the Trump administration, Tillerson served as CEO of Exxon Mobil, the international oil and gas company.
Seriously, who’s not equipped? I think you have that wrong.
Then why was he there
U r all the same.
tRump is the one who is ill prepared and his IQ is 73 and he is dumber than a rock. After 2 years of this so called presidency you have to wonder whose side is this moron on!! I can say without a doubt it is not the American people. tRump serves tRump and maybe Putin. RISE UP!!
But yet, realDonaldTrump thought he was the best choice for the nation’s top diplomat.
The guy is brilliant!! Exon Mobile anyone!!!!
There's a news flash.
So much for hiring 'the best people'. But then again, we have yet to see anyone Trump's hired meet that definition...
Look in the mirror. realDonaldTrump
But Trump you appointed him, did you not?
Only hires the best people
Projection! Again
And yet a Trump hired him. He only hires the best people until they tell him NO! ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW GOPyesMen VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
Why are you printing this story? The POTUS calling one secretary of state dumb....and trying to lock up another...while declaring love for KJU is just disgusting and should not be promoted by newsprint!
'Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope w/ difficult feelings. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.'
Oh, yeah? Well, he’s away from Trump. That’s a smart thing to do.
There realDonaldTrump goes again? FLOTUS is this what you mean by bebest? joke
He was nominated by Trump, approved by Republicans. Says tons about their inability to evaluate and select competent people. They should not be allowed to place anybody in job going forward. Especially a position that’s a lifetime appointment!
Trump wishes he had half the business brain Rex Tillerson has.
Trump is ill equipped and totally ill prepared to be president. Toddlers shouldn’t be running the White House.
Trump picked him! Takes one to call one! 🤪
No surprise. He has said he doesn't prepare. This 72 year old man who thinks his aged instincts will carry him they with sophisticated foreign leaders is cooking himself and letting our Country down.
This clown literally appointed him. HE DID IT!!!!!!
Says the man who is ill equipped for his job.
And is that why he was picked in the first place? Reflects more on Trump than on Rex T.
Then why did he put him in the role? Trump is unqualified to place anyone into any of these roles. Incompetence!
Who is dumber... The dumb guy or the dumb guy who hired him as Secretary of State?
But he appointed him to it anyway
Really🤔
Trump is just plain ILL!!in every way possible !!!
🤔Why all this name calling?🤔It’s brutish! It’s childish!! It solves nothing!!!🤔
That's the pot calling the kettle black
Sad.
He’s the one who hired him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We can accuse Mr Tillerson of many things, but I don't think dumb is one of them.
Didn’t he appoint him for the job? 🤔
nobody here nobody here me now nobody will understand did you love me and i love you. Nobody nobody nobody here nobody nobody love you
Interpretation: Would not do as I said. Allowed conscience to interfere with function of destruction. Therefore could not, would not, be on team Trump. Deemed unqualified for the Trump Agenda.
drum as rock hard to understood why why he did dumb as bronk rocker. Believe me no body will buy his single hit
Great while hired by him and the worst when not? He is a complete moron and anybody who cares about what he says they are one as well.
The stable genius appointed him
I guess it takes one to know one!😂🤣
But Trump hired Tillerson. What does that say about Trump?
Hahahaha, like you and the rest of your administration realDonaldTrump
Not everyone can be a stable genius like Donald Trump
I’ll prepared and ill equipped, talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Trup you’re still ill prepared, ill equipped, dumb as a rock, a liar, and tax evader!! You’re not kidding anyone but your base and puppets in your administration!
Sounds familiar
Coming from a guy who can’t believe he got elected. 🤮
Didnt 45 hire him.
Laureta22 ...yup, some people say really dumb things about others when they’re actually talking about themselves.
But I thought you put him there
still2gether No shit...who would have seen that coming?
Dumb as a rock, and you hired him! All the best people.
Because Rex Tillerson is very smart
Rex is not Dumb as rock like Trumpsaid. Trump is. U.K. calls him dumb Trump and .Germany Idiot and Rest of the world Jumbo liar. Isn’t that the truth？
Classic transference!!
Says the person who wanted him....whats that make you?
Trump's right again. He did pick Tillerson but Tillerson got in over his head, he let Pres down and let U.S. down
Trump ought to know he was the person who hired him. Come on people who do you think is telling the truth? The man who successfully ran Exxon, or the man who ran bankrupt casinos? Wake up USA, 2020 is time for a Change.
Wow, my exact same thoughts about the rock occupying the Oval Office.
Well, he looked good on paper.
Again, thank you for not showing Dumpy for this post.
That’s a you problem bud
Sounds like Trump is describing himself, the worst President in USA history! Impeachment inquiry must begin immediately!
Sources said, hahaha! Careless!
Right after Tillerson defended him. Par.
This is what our crappy media does whenever Democrats are going into the tank in the news. Find someone to say something shitty, then turn it into a 'news' story. It's called a 'pseudo event'. It's disgusting journalism.
This man? Constantly inspires me to want to work for him!!!
Whereas Trump was well prepared and displays an abundance of intelligence 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why do all these assholes, given a break of the lifetime, sell out to the press?
Just like everyone else he chooses then fires
Tell us something we don’t already know Rex!
Then why did Trump hire Tillerson?
DEFLECTION!!!!
realDonaldTrump only ranks on people who speak the truth and shows how incompetent he is
Lies deceit and more fake news media again.
There he goes projecting again 🤔
Funny, StormyDaniels said the same about realDonaldTrump. 🤷♂️
One rock calling another dumb.
Then why would you hire someone who was ill prepared and ill equipped. This says more abt you than it does him.
How is everyone else stupid except for Trump!? He’s the one that hired Rex...and he’s the one that said he hires only the best people! 🙄
You only hire the best.
But I thought Trump only hires the best people? 🤔🤔
But I thought realDonaldTrump was surrounded by only the best people.
But didn't he hire him?! What does that say about Trump. I thought he only surrounds himself with the 'best' people. 🤔
Yes, Trump using only the 'best' people. Right! They are the best until they speak out on Trump. Not one person he has in administration is the 'best'.
Only the best people
But he hires only the best people. 😂🤦🏾♀️🤡
Trump is going mad and insane
Coming from the “extremely stable genius” .....
Poor guy had morals, integrity and diplomacy. Everything lacking in Trump.
🤔🤨🙄🤥
That’s funny when you appointed him you said different
And how many companies did Tillerson bankrupt
We know who is the one “ill prepared and ill equipped” of the two & it’s not Tillerson
It's amazing how trumpler had all those rocks working for him. Is that why he claims to be for the miners?😕
Mr. Tillerson was the leader of a successful company for years. And we all know other side of the story.
Right, a CEO of an international company that had to answer to a board of directors vs the leader of a private business with no oversight. I believe Rex more in this.
And he hired him too
Speaking of...
The same is true of trump. What makes this an issue is the fact that he's unstable, wants to kill women's rights, start WWW III, and spy for putin. Remove the football, ASAP. Act.
Con Don on the other hand has a history of failed businesses and bankruptcies.! He’s talking about himself again. He’s actually saying he is ill equipped and ill prepared to know how to run the gov’t.
SO? YOU IRRESPONSIBLE TROUBLE MAKERS WILL NOT PROSPER.
What happened to all the best people?
It’s a case of “I know you are but what am I.” Rex called him I’ll prepared first so...
So thats why you hired him?
If Fillets on us 'dumb as rocks' what does that make realDonaldTrump for hiring him?
Rex Tillerson, former CEO of one of the largest corporation in the world. Worked himself up as an engineer many decades ago at Exxon. Accomplished, intelligent, a real leader! realDonaldTrump stunning business losses in the billions, debutant, spent daddy’s money, con & fraud.
I swear, this naked fool keeps exposing his flaws. So Lumpy, why ddid you place him in the position in the 1st place? This isn't JUCO lil man this is the Dance, the Big leagues. Your shtick is tired and dry.
Like everyone else in this WH..😡🇺🇸
Who cares? Cover news other than Trump tweets.
Having not voted for current POT-US (note the separation), I felt a glimmer of hope when Tillerson was appointed. Then, US citizens became all too familiar with the art of the deal (not deserving of all caps), and the W H became the replacement circus for RB.
Trump is the worst rectuiter of all time.
It's super interesting watching the President shoot himself in the foot on this statement
Trump also said his father was born in Germany and wind mills cause cancer.....
To show the world how much trump is dumb
Tillerson should testify to the Congress
I thought he (trump) pick the smartness and the most ablest people to work in his administration!!!
I wish Trump supporters would see through him that is nothing then a Bully. A President should treat everyone with respect were he is suppose to represent the US. Trump isn’t happy unless he gets what he wants if not he acts like a Child.
Meanwhile he ran Exxon what did you run that was not a con. Mr Tillerson made 2 mistakes 1 taking any job you would offer and 2 saying it was an honor to work for you. I’m sure that was in the script you had presented but Rex got to basics eventually like all who know you FM
It’s always someone else’s fault.... not the fact that Trump is a crappy President ? That couldn’t be fathomable
I guess it takes one to know one.
Well, he should know.
🤔
I'm sorry, maybe I'm mistaken, but didn't realDonaldTrump once tell us that he would have the best of the best working for him? So HIS choice was all that good? We're only as good as the leader, right?
Ego Trump
There you go again. Cherry picking facts
Ray Charles can see that trump is mentally ill. Is that’s why the GOP are covering for him like a parent does a child? Some parents do not want their children in an institution so they become very protective. Afraid that they might be at fault.
If Trump can't refute the message, he attacks the messenger. It's got old when he was campaigning for the presidency. Most people learned in first grade not to call names.
Takes one to know one
This coming from a man who boasts he only hires the best people. This administration has the worst turn around in US history, more acting personnel than Hollywood, extremely large amount of unfilled positions. What does this say about him?
be best
Pot calling kettle. SMH. IdiotInChief
Be Nice
Tell to white house to give me the money for electricity invention
If he is as dumb as a rock as the president claims, shouldn't that be a reflection of the president? He hired him, didn't he?
Is he a democrat
And he should know from direct experience.
That's like the pot calling the kettle black!
The best people everybody.
If the shoe fits....
The person who nominated such an ill prepared person should resign
Like Trump, who selected him.
If that ain’t the pot calling the kettle black.
Who was the moron who hired him?
All this is is a toddlers 'No I'm not, you are' game. Tillerson said Trump is dumb as a bag of bricks and was unprepared to meet Putin. So Trump goes, no I'm not, you are, forgetting HE selected Tillerson. Its an insult to a bag of bricks to call Trump as smart as it.
An the makes YOU UNFIT!!!
Well why did he appoint him then
Who got Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State? Donald J. Trump. Trump is ill prepared for everything.
Says the stable moron himself 🙄
So then why did Trump pick him? Bizarre
Pot, I'd like you to meet Kettle. Match made in heaven.
Thought the tRump always said that he appoints the best to do the job. 😁
He hires the best people.
Only the best
Trump needs to look in a mirror
Trump is too dumb to realise he is admitting he selected someone who was 'ill-equipped' for one of the most important jobs in his administration
He’s projecting again.
Just like the president himself
