Scoop: Trump's frustration with Tillerson rising fast

[Jacque67 7,328]

There's a ticking problem with Rex Tillerson, and it's growing louder by the day, according to officials inside and close to the White House. 

President Trump has been growing increasingly frustrated with his Secretary of State. One time recently, after Trump had returned from a meeting on Afghanistan, a source recalled Trump saying, "Rex just doesn't get it, he's totally establishment in his thinking."

Tillerson's jaw-dropping comments on TV today will likely only worsen their relationship.

 

Fox News Sunday moderator Chris Wallace asked Tillerson about Trump's response to the racist carnage in Charlottesville.

Tillerson replied: "I don't believe anyone doubts the American people's values or the commitment of the American government, or the government's agencies to advancing those values and defending those values."

Wallace asked the obvious follow-up question: "And the president's values?"

"The president speaks for himself," Tillerson said.

Wallace looked stunned.

Why this matters: We've been hearing for weeks, from sources who've spoken to the president, that Trump is getting more and more fed up with Tillerson, who has still yet to staff his agency.

Gary Cohen last week, this week Tillerson distancing himself from Donnie. Hmm...

Interesting that the State commented on the record so many things. Bye Rex.

The so-called president keeps alienating members of his cabinet. Tillerson pretty much is trying to get away from the toxicity emanating from the WH, but it will be hard for him to to be caught as the swamp rises even more.
