He Said, "I'm just not going to be a part of this petty mess in Washington. I'm not from here."

In other words, Yes, Tillerson called Cheeto what he is, An F*****G Moron and he's likely be gone, gone, gone by the end of December 2017.

In a way, calling Trump a "moron" is likely not PC and to some degree excuses the damage his intentional destruction of diplomacy and international relations has done to the United States. When the foreign minister of Iran can say that the US risks being seen as an "unreliable" diplomatic partner, it is clear how the US position in the world has fallen.

Yet, remember where US status was in 2008 -- and how it actually changed on a dime when President Obama was elected in a landslide -- a REAL landslide.

I could care less what names Tillerson throws out or how "devastating" some might think it is. I know enough about Tillerson to know he is the enemy.

As the comment should have explicitly been seen to speak of. Did you click on the link or even look to see what it was named?
