What happened to Trump hiring only the "best and brightest"?

Not every diplomatic: Trump slams Tillerson as 'dumb as a rock', 'lazy as hell,' lacks 'mental capacity'

Not very diplomatic: Trump slams Tillerson as 'dumb as a rock', 'lazy as hell,' lacks 'mental capacity'
In rare public remarks, the fired former secretary of state also said the president "doesn't like to read, doesn't read briefing reports."
President Donald Trump launched into a no-holds-barred attack on his former secretary of state on Friday hours after Rex Tillerson gave his own blistering assessment of his time as the president's chief diplomat.

"Rex Tillerson didn't have the mental capacity needed," Trump tweeted. "He was dumb as a rock and I couldn't get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell."

Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him. 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!

What Tillerson said to make Trump upset...the truth.

Tillerson: Trump's instructions were often at odds with the law

Last night at an event in Houston, Tillerson went a little further still in explaining why he and Trump didn’t see eye to eye. The Houston Chronicle reported:

Tillerson said the two had starkly different styles and did not share a common value system.
“So often, the president would say here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law,” Tillerson said.​
Oh. So, according to the former secretary of state, the president “often” asked him to pursue a foreign policy that was at odds with American law.

Trump’s indifference to legal constraints is unsettling, of course, though it’s likely an outgrowth of his inexperience and ignorance. Trump is, after all, the nation’s first amateur president, taking office despite never having served in the public sector in any way for any amount of time. The presidency was a job he never even tried to understand, and by all appearances, Trump’s familiarity with governmental institutions and constraints was, at best, child-like.

I am sure there is nothing self-serving in Tillerson's comments.

Agent Zero hated Tillerson. His view on that must be changing.


Maybe Tillerson was nice to him while he was cleaning tables in the cafeteria?

We liked Tillerson because he didn't bother us doing our jobs.

We hated Tillerson because he was an idiot. Just like Trump.

People who think Tillerson is an idiot have personal issues. Probably insecurity.

Maybe Tillerson promoted him to Head Cleaner in the Executive Restroom.

Are you still pretending that you hold some position of great responsibility in the State Department?
