Trump May Be Sly And Manipulative, But He's Still, In His Own Words, "Dumb As A Rock" And "Lazy"

Remember last year when Trump challenged Rex Tillerson to an IQ duel? At the time, Tillerson, still Secretary of State, let slip the well-known fact that Trump is-- literally-- "a moron." Trump took offense, said he'd like to compare their IQs, and eventually fired Tillerson and replaced him with a less intelligent and more servile man, Mike Pompeo. Trump, likely the lowest IQ individual to ever occupy the White House, is still offended by Tillerson.

Last night Tillerson spoke at a fundraiser for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, telling the crowd that when he was Secretary of State Trump would often ask him to break the law. "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.' I'd say here's what we can do. We can go back to Congress and get this law changed. And if that's what you want to do, there's nothing wrong with that. I told him I'm ready to go up there and fight the fight, if that's what you want to do."

Tillerson also said that there's no question Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help elect Trump and that they wanted Trump in the Oval Office "to undermine our confidence and undermine the world's confidence in us." Trump may be a fool but he understands the implications of that statement.

Tillerson virtually admitted that he was as surprised as anyone that American voters were stupid enough to fall for Trump's low grade con game. "I will be honest with you," he told the audience, "it troubles me that the American people seem to want to know so little about issues that they are satisfied with a 128 characters. I don't want that to come across as a criticism of him. It's really a concern that I have about us as Americans and us as a society and us as citizens."

Trump took it as a criticism and lashed out like a vicious animal today (above), safely ensconced at his twitter station (below).
