RawStory:
The Houston Chronicle reports that Tillerson opened up about his working relationship with Trump during a public appearance in Houston on Thursday evening.
In particular, Tillerson said that the president quickly grew tired of hearing that he couldn’t take certain actions because they would be illegal.
“So often, the president would say, ‘Here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it,'” Tillerson explained. “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 that he advised Trump to lobby Congress to change certain laws if they interfered with what he wanted to do, but the president mostly just got angry with him.
Two things here
- Tillerson confirms the worst-kept secret ever: This is a Pay-To-Play system, and all you really need is to find a Coin-Operated Politician who can get legislation passed that allows you to do the shitty thing you want to do.
- Things are pretty fucking bad when Rex Tillerson is your moral compass.
Fake lord have mercy.
