President Trump SAVAGES Ousted Secretary

President Trump did not hold any punches going after Rex Tillerson after the latter criticized his former boss for his “undisciplined” leadership style. PJ Media reports:

On Friday, President Donald Trump praised his current secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and poured out invective against the man who last held the job, former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Tillerson had attacked him the day before.

“Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him,” the president began. “His predecessor, Rex Tillerson, didn’t have the mental capacity needed. He was dumb as a rock and I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell. Now it is a whole new ballgame, great spirit at State!”

This comment came one day after Tillerson delivered his own attack against the president, calling him “undisciplined.”

“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,” Tillerson told CBS News on Thursday.

This is another example of Trump punching back when his opponents criticize him first.

Perhaps the reason why the Trump White House had so many leaks while Tillerson was Secretary of State was because he had a tendency to leak! So good riddance to him and telling tales out of school does not do him any favors!

Hillary had Huma Abedin passing everything along to the Muslim Brotherhood. Huma’s pervert husband had all the emails on his laptop – yet no one’s under indictment.

This really shows who Rex Tillerson really is. I still don’t understand why President Trump ever picked him in the first place!

Let me interpret his comment on the president and what he is used to! He’s used to being disciplined by having someone else do all his work for him and he was the boss. I was then expected to get off my butt and do the work myself which is considered undisciplined! Therefore, lazy as heck fits the scenario! Couldn’t really handle having a boss.

I see your point, and that may have been what you saw in your life and work. I saw it a bit different. Donald Trump has been his own person from age 5, all of his life. A true, self cantained ALPHA MALE. Rex Tillerson was same in Oil Fields in sleeping in his car in the oil fields, to ensure he was there when anything broke and effected operation. And he rose through the ranks, and became a very successful Oil Manager and traveled the world , making contracts, deals, just as Donald Trump did.
——-So Rex Tillerson appointed as Secretary of State, and expects to make statements, meet with leaders of other countries, and make deals for USA. Donald Trump has studied what past Administrations have done, and mistakes they have made, and he intends to correct “the ship called USA, knowing he does NOT HAVE SUPPORT OF EITHER MAJOR PARTY. WE HAD TWO ALPHA BULLS ON WORLD STAGE, AND HERE IS ONLY ROOOM FOR ONE, TO LEAD USA, IN ITS ENTIRETY. I saw this played out in my 26 years in Military, with very senior military officers, and they did not get into open yelling or cursing in office, in front of subordinates. But when that happened, one was reassigned to where they could be the ALPHA Leader, in another organization. That is my take on this. And this is what I see in all Administrations of the past, and will be in the future. You see some of those Alpha Males, not running for re-election, and others being driven out of politics, back to their homes state. Look at what I write here, then consider : Corker, Flake, and severl Senators and Republicans who have been replaced, or will be. There is only one President, and he has his style, (which we really need now) after what last one did. Blame Vallerie Jarrett and Michelle Obama, for what he was . If you have doubts read “The AmateurL” by Ed Stein , List Price $27.95 . Fast Read, and points out those two kept Barrack on tight lease.

How can anyone argue with President Trump, he is trying so hard to keep all the promises he made during his campaign and the Democratic Communist Party bastards try to shoot him down to make him look bad. The American people realize this and the Commie Dems. will never beat Trump in any election because President Trump is the greatest President this country ever had and he is delivering every day. GO TRUMP ! GO PENCE ! Sincerely, Martin Korab

A man of principle and integrity would not start talking negatively about his prior boss unless he is willing to get it back. I would, personally, never comment on an ex-boss unless there was something illegal that should be reported about that person. I think Tillerson needs to shut up and get on with his life. He cannot win against Trump.

All the things thrown at the president could and do describe previous president Obama with the exception of the INTEGRITY . Obama=0; Trump = 10. Our comment to Tillerson: the public is tired of all the cost , trouble and spitefulness of people of your ilk. American made a choice some time ago for Trump as our president. Too bad he isn’t yours. But he is AMERICA’S CHOICE! WHEN YOU MALIGN OUR PRESIDENCY, YOU MALIGN AND COMMIT ANARCHY AGAINST OUR NATION.
What angers me is that Repubs did not make use of their majority and get things done which they promised . And now Tillerson , you and your fellow anarchists will take full rein. There is no bi-party expectations from any of you.

When you produce at the level of quality and quantity as President Trump, then you will have more value than simply sour grapes, Mr. Tillerson!

I ‘thought’ Tillerson had (some) ‘Class’.
His remarks were unnecessary.

If Rex Tillerson as a man of responsibilities, even approached the man Mike Pompeo is, in my mind it’s doubtful. I think the President was dissatisfied with his choice of Tillerson, but since Tillerson and the President were both from civilian business, Trump probably thought Tillerson would fill the requirements. It wasn’t to be, but in the interim, President Trump had learned more about choosing subordinates, and when Pompeo’s file was read, the President was impressed.
Though the President was not from the military sector, I do believe that the excellence in Pompeo’s resume spoke for itself. The man was top of his class at West Point, and was afterward known as a fine officer of excellent service. And, considering such outstanding history, Pompeo was the man and has done his work with a thoroughness to be admired.
He is also loyal to the President in all respects, and does understand the President’s experience as civilian, which Pompeo augments with his own military know-how. I think we’re now doing well because the choice of Mike Pompeo has been so reliable.
