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, the president wrote on Twitter. I dont think Putin would agree. Look how the U.S. is doing!
Tillerson told the House Foreign Affairs Committee this week that Trump was badly outgunned during a meeting with Putin two years ago, and he said the president barely prepared for the encounter with his Russian counterpart.
We spent a lot of time in the conversation talking about how Putin seized every opportunity to push what he wanted, one committee aide told the Washington Post. There was a discrepancy in preparation, and it created an unequal footing.

(4,723 posts)Tillerson crossed Trump, so Trump issued playground taunts. But if he is so dumb, and Trump hired the guy anyway, was does that say about Trump? Doesn't look too flattering. Makes Trump look like the one who is dumb as a rock.

Just another case of a bully who, when he can't hit back at the strong person, goes and picks on the weaker target.
