Tillerson reportedly calls Trump a Fucking moron. What was the trigger then?

[MrScorpio]

Was it over North Korea and Trump’s threat that we’d forego any diplomatic solutions to the crisis and unilaterally launch an attack?

Now there’s a rumor that John Kelly will resign. Seeing that he knows exactly what would happen if we initiated a war on the Korean Peninsula, I’m sure that he wouldn’t want any part of such a debacle.

With the investigation against Trump turning up the heat, he seems to be searching for distractions: NFL players, Iran, Muslim ban, anti-immigrant policies, pardoning Arpaio... Wouldn’t starting a major foreign war be the ultimate distraction?

Now is intimating that now is the “calm before the storm.” What does that mean?

We know that he seeks approval by trying to appear as if he has inside knowledge that others don’t have. He’s notorious for blabbing secrets. He’s being intentionally cryptic here.

It’s not one his lies. When he lies, he’s usually blatant about them. So, what is he up to? I think that now is a good time to consider some worse case scenarios.

I don’t like how this big picture is shaping up.

FDT.

1. i think it was many things but i think the boy scouts thing was personal to him

and what really made tillerson angry.

i think the calm before the storm thing was trump being the usual reality show attention seeking jackass.

2. Could you enlighten me on "the boy scouts" thing?

[JI7]

3. remember Trump's fucked up speech to the boy scouts ?

rex tillerson has worked for the scouts for years and he headed the org for some time.

he didn't like how trump treated them with that speech and then lied afterwards about them.

4. Sometimes I think I black out certain things that are so embarrassing.

I remember now. It was at the National Jamboree where once again it was all about him and nothing about the scouts.

5. Wasnt Tillerson an Eagle Scout?

If so, those comments that tRump made during his appearance at the Jamboree probably really ticked Tillerson off. Inappropriate for sure.

But don’t you suppose that every one of the people tRump put in his office or cabinet regrets accepting the job? I mean like the day after they took the job. Probably started looking for a way out immediately. tRump can’t get along with anyone. The only reason he tolerates his kids is they know how to handle him. They know exactly what to say or not say to get the old man steamed. You have a jackass like tRump for your father and you learn pretty quickly how to avoid his wrath if you can. Ivanka is his little princess so she probably gets away with more.

6. One word

7. No honor among thieves

Tillerson didn't need a trigger. In my experience, people like Trump are almost never surrounded by people who actually like or respect him. It's a case of mutual exploitation by useful idiots. I'm sure in private moments, Pence, Bannon, Miller, Jared, all of them probably think Trump is a moron. But they've hitched their wagons to him and plan on getting something out of it. In return, Trump has no real loyalty despite the public praise he sometimes doles out about his followers. Probably calls Devos and Sessions insulting pet names like "Church Lady" and "Garden Gnome." Nothing new developed with Tillerson's attitude. He just got caught in the act.

8. According to rporting I read...

Can't recall where.... it was in July. Trump was getting a breifing about the international situation in general, and apparently was just completely cluess about so many things. Did not know where Afghanistan was, or that we ousted the Taliban from rule.

Did not know that Russia was aiding Syria agqinst non-Islamist rebels. Stuff like that.

Trump apparently asked some stupid questions.

9. It was when Trump compared the Afghanistan war to the Club 21 restoration -

Thought pattern of a fucking moron:
