President Trump on Thursday blasted Rex Tillerson after The Washington Post reported that the former secretary of State told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin was better prepared than Trump for a meeting in 2017.
"Rex Tillerson, a man who is 'dumb as a rock' and totally ill prepared and ill equipped to be Secretary of State, made up a story (he got fired) that I was out-prepared by Vladimir Putin at a meeting in Hamburg, Germany," Trump tweeted.
"I don't think Putin would agree. Look how the U.S. is doing!"

The president nominated Tillerson as secretary of State at the outset of his administration, and fired him in March 2018 amid numerous clashes over U.S. foreign policy.

No big surprise. All Putin had to do was appeal to the dotard's ego and he'd be eating out of his hand.

(54,302 posts)Trump wonders why in the world would Tillerson EVER say anything under oath that could be detrimental to him.
Why, indeed.....?
Keep goading Tillerson into testifying

No, everyday citizens would try to defend their mission, not destroy it.
