Trump: Tillerson could be 'a little bit tougher'

Trump: Tillerson could be 'a little bit tougher'
 By POLITICO STAFF
  | 10/07/2017 06:52 PM EDT
 
President Donald Trump on Saturday said he'd like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson "to be a little bit tougher" at times but insisted the two have a solid relationship.

The comments, delivered to reporters as he headed to a fundraiser Saturday, come after Tillerson held an impromptu news conference earlier this week to rebut an NBC report that he was on the verge of resigning over the summer and that he had called Trump a "moron."

He did not explicitly deny having used the "moron" term, though a State Department spokeswoman later said he does not use that type of language.

   I just don't see this ending well for Tillerson, not that I ever liked the guy bigly but his upcoming book about his short tenure at State may make for good reading.

Trump is the one saying this to the press. Are you saying the press twisted his words???

Trump is the one undermining his own people/administration. No doubt the press will aid him but he's the one taking the rope. No one's making him say these things.

If you see the video it was an off hand comment.  Something he would say in a private conversation

Certainly he shouldn't have said it but the media is taking a molehill and making it a mountain.

It's getting to the point where this President has thrown or is about to throw as many people under the proverbial bus as his predecessor.

And in less time too.

Yes, he does. I think he doesn't know how to manage without chaos and bluster and bumbling through.

And his fans love the drama rather than results.

Didn't he himself say that he creating chaos is how he likes to run his businesses?
