I have no problem with this response. He is actually saying that it happened, but it’s not a good idea for him to state publicly that it did because tweety boy will have a tantrum.

Full quote was, “I call the president Mr. Mor…President! President! I call him Mr. President.”

I don’t think it’s surprising that no one wants to go on the record saying Trump isn’t a moron. That’s the kind of quote that’ll come back to haunt you.

Thanks Rex, that’s all the confirmation we need.

Another distraction in the tsunami of bullshit.

“I’m just not going to dignify the question,” Tillerson replied. “I call the President ‘Mr. President.’ He and I have a very, very open, frank and candid relationship.”

He wasn’t asked what he calls Trump to his face, but what he called him behind his back. Classic tactic of answering a different question than you were asked.

Trump: Why doesnt fake media says that I called Tillerson a big, fat, old Moron first. I am always ahead.

Not lying about something he said sure makes Rex Tillerson an anomaly in Trump’s administration. Maybe Kellyanne can pull him into her sewer and give him some coaching.

Right. Because the Trump administration is all about dignity.

Just not for women, or children, or spiritual people, or the 80% of the globe that is not European, or people who don’t want their children shot, or NFL players, or scientists, or students, or the people of Charlottesville, or the people of Puerto Rico, or the people of…

The only sign of competence in Tillerson is the fact that he called Trump a moron.

"Is it true? Did you call him a moron?” Jake Tapper asked Tillerson.

Tapper needs to learn the proper way to set up such a question.

Tapper: “Did you call him irrational?”
Tillerson: “No.”
Tapper: “Did you call him childish?”
Tillerson: “No. Of course not.”
Tapper: “Did you call him a moron?”
Tillerson: “I’m just not going to dignify the question.”

But I’m not going to deny it because it’s probably on a recording somewhere…

“Tillerson: ‘I’m Just Not Going To Dignify’ Queries About Calling Trump A ‘Moron’ “

Tillerson later said: “why won’t you guys in the media ask me if I called Trump a “fucking moron”? That question I’d eagerly answer yes”.

Well… on the one hand I wish Tillerson would just either confirm or deny it…

But my reasons are selfish… I see this tag as a good one to use against DJT during the next election cycle and it would help if it could be resurrected and go back in the quiver as a fresh bolt. The current controversy has validated the idea now it needs to go back on the shelf to be pulled out to paint him and light him up during one of the debates. When that happens he will sputter and fume and hunker down in bully mode and start spouting his defensive nonsense. At that point they can bring up all of the dumb things Trump has done and let the country re-live his first term in all its moronish detail. This is the type of thing that will cause Trump to rise to the bait every time and once he does, he will loose 30-60 news cycles (25-40 on Fox).

I just want to toss in again, my comment about “if picked by Trump”. He seems to gravitate to the worst of angels when placing someone. Tillerson was obviously not a good choice, but he is not the worst, considering our measuring sticks as of today. Would Huntsman be picked? I would lays odds against it simply because he is competent.

There’s no way to “dignify” your statement Rex. There is no dignity anywhere in this administration. However, you can quit your transparent tap dancing and like John Lennon wished, just give us some truth.
