I don't think Rex Tillerson was trying to be funny. He was telling the world how Donald Trump acts in the White House. And yet, the audience laughed. I think they laughed to Keep from screaming.
I think it's trump supporters
They probably wanted to run outside and scream at the sky. Silly liberals.
@@MrMOLONLABE1776 Aww triggered
I believe Rex Tillerson was telling the truth about his former boss but the laughing from the audience was a reaction of disbelief and mockery.
Mmmmm I see you az natalie, I wouldnt mind reading your briefing
The laughter in the room is disturbing. This is NOT a talk show. This is serious. We have become so used to Trump being the target of jokes that when these deadly serious conversations occur we believe them to be a continuation of that humor. This is the future of our country and we are in deep trouble right now.
True. Absolutely true. But laughter helps to ease the climate of sorrow in your country.
Shut up.
I agree with everything you said, but remember that millions of people voted for Trump to run this country. These people made the choice that Trump is better for this country than Hillary would. To them this is all fake news. Trump found a way to discredit any type of journalism in this country and all the US Gov. Institutions. So it does not matter what he does, his base will always support him. No matter the infraction he commits. That's the part that keeps me up at night.
@@koolbass511 On that you're absolutely right and their unconditional support toward him is troubling and disturbing because some of them are completely devoted to him regardless of the facts that proved time and again his volatility and contempt toward the honor of the office.
I suppose you would be happier with a leader like Macron so we could have rioting in the streets like they're having in Paris. These riots have been going on for over four weeks with no ending in sight! The people are shouting Trump! Trump! We need Trump! You liberals are so stupid.
Everybody who didn't vote for trump knows all of this already. This is not new. This is new to trump supporters...
C Jay
Maybe if the democrats had nominated someone decent instead of just crowning Hillary because she was a woman and entitled...
Correction: it's fake news to Trump cultists.
@@jshepard152 she would still be the better alternative
It does not matter to Trump supporters, Trump has given them excuses for all their own failures illegals, coal mine closures etc.
C Jay i
Is anyone surprised? Trump never likes to read anything longer than a magazine article, he doesn't issue policy plans that take days to develop, he just sends out short tweets. This is a really sad, sad story. I know there are a lot of supporters that think it's fake news, but he's getting himself in a ton of trouble with the people he now surrounds himself with who are probably "yes men".
Wow, you give Trump quite a lot of credit.
Timothy Foster Surrounds himself with who, there is no one left. He has fired them all and Kelly is next. A lot of these people have worked in public office before and know what to do and when they disagree with him over a period of time they are let go.
Hopefully he.is.Put on trial soon &'can follow Fox TV in jail while Melania goes on holiday in a sunny country with a younger man.
Don't forget...this president has already redone NAFTA with Canada and Mexico and is on verge of China trade restructuring....Obama said this couldn't be done...dont be all about hate bra...
@@dannyball6106 His Nafta renegotiations are just Nafta 2.0. His trade war with China has hurt American businesses.
When you operate at an angry adolescent level like The Don, having adult Rex tell you, you cant do that, would cause an emotional meltdown.
Someone needs to tell Trump to go to his room.
His minions are all over the comments sections resembling him lol
John Edward Jones who is acting like an angry adolescent? You have confirmation bias, it’s blinding you.
@@joshuafulton1625 Projecting, go back to MX, that's where trump wants you lol
Nicole Frazer just like a typical progressive. Not only are you making foolish assumptions about me, but those foolish assumptions are based on a condescending racism only someone as intellectually unaware as yourself would engage in. Not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer are you?
Guys, Trump University wasn't a hint?
Really! And in only the evil dimensions could Hillary be recognized as a better choice.
@@ericworiax1277 I didn't vote for Hillary numbnuts. Pay attention.
eric woriax
Your inability to respond to OPs point says a lot
"Trump University." ROFLOL!!!!!
@@mikebtrfld1705 Eric never said you voted for Hillary, you idiot. You pay attention.
You almost want to laugh...until you remember that this actually happened (and *IS* happening). People actually have to remind Trump that this isn't Trump Inc., it's the government and there's certain ways that you have to do stuff. You also have to, you know, READ. That's part of the job.
Trump was never qualified to be the President, but he did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night...
And I’m sure you’re so much more intelligent and accomplished than President Trump! Gimme a break!
It’s because of his business experience that he’s achieved what so many previous presidents and other gov’t officials have repeatedly failed to do. Wake up!
Don S - your Stoopid is showing!
@@1catmac oooooohhh....must have taken you a while to think of that huh genius?
@@1catmac He's a con artist. That's his skill. You can go back through his entire career and see how he conned banks into lending him money (based on lies), wrote off huge losses by swindling creditors and filing bankruptcy. It was all about selling an image. Even Forbes magazine has now said that when they first put him on the list of richest Americans it was based on false information. He was worth about $5million in 1982, not the $100 million he claimed. I get that you can't give up your fantasy, but those of us who never fell under his spell see an entirely different person. A grifter, a con man, and a person who has no problem screwing over the little guy. He's just a horrible, horrible person.
what a perfect description as to what Trumpy is.
dafcorleone yeah because you would know
Yes this sounds like Trump...!!
Anyone who gets fired and talks bad about their employer it's not nice and it's not professional
@@lorm.3153maybe the employer needs to be called out sometimes.
@@lorm.3153 I think we'll forgive him for that in this case.. lol
DJ Trump man child of the year!
What else is new? don da con is a tyrant of epic proportion.
This country deserves a better president!
Trump is a shame!
With his approval rate thinning,
and his entire staff spinning,
Don has to know,
his term is a blow.
Yet, he thinks that this is all, "winning".
Rich Winder still a better approval then Obama
How many years of college did it take to come up with that gem?
@@sheaholmer8170
When a single-wide is your home,
and you think the remote, is a tome,
and libs you berate,
and think Trump is Great,
it's clear - there's a void, in your dome.
Rich Winder. Haha. Nice one!
@@RichWinder-je5xn bravo!
And trump got the nerve to call people low i Q" he can't read
Understand or apply basic concepts...much less the complicated stuff. Scary.
He cannot read a 200 page book...no patience. ..can't do it.He's attention span is like 9 year old child.
Low I Q anon
@TIG5574 What's the point of him reading if he doesn't understand what he read?
@@mrdhavidee Cleverman does not read much n prepared everything b4 discussion.
Mr. Tillerson would tell Trump what he wanted to do was illegal. What he did not realize was Trump knew it and he expected Mr.Tillerson to do it for him anyway. Just like Mannafort, Cohen, Sanders, and his family. Good for you Mr. Tillerson. You are an honorable man with a conscience and respect for your fellow Americans.
Would not say that Tillerson is honorable man because he was kicked out and did not resign. In some way he was an accomplice of Trump policy. Mueller on the other hand, he's like Ness going afterCapone
@@wongsifu460 He could be considered honorable seeing as he may have tried to stay to help protect the country and Trump from himself, because now he could have a yes person one who will not tell him no. And when things go wrong he'll just blame them.
@@wongsifu460 It may not do Mr. Muller any good to be Elliot Ness if the Republicans refuse his findings.
I appreciate the candor
Do you need any more evidence, America?!
Lol you can’t do that it violates the law, it violates the treaty, lol 😂
Who in the world would be surprised by this?
I can't believe our politics has gotten to the point where I'm siding with the CEO of an oil company who got a major cabinet position through cronyism.
This says it ALL!
My respect to this man for being righteous when we all know it wasn’t easy.
God help us with the Stable Genius at the helm
Yep!...three years later!!!👍🙏🙏🙏
@@tanazinn8484 And now we have sleepy Joe... So still, God help us!
Trump likes a picture book :)
Trump says do something illegal and if you do it you are hung out to dry.
I always thought Tillerson was a decent pick,Trump just can’t take criticism and his ego is over inflated.
The members in the audience who laughed at this don’t seem to understand the severity of the issue that we have a felon in the Oval Office.
First To Infinity
OK I'm no Trump fan, but you don't seem to know what constitutes a felon. Maybe I should just decide you're a felon and start calling you that. Ridiculous.
@@jshepard152 lmao, wtf?
Water is wet
Is there a way to see the whole interview?
During his campaign for president Dony never describe what he was going to do other than terrific things am wondering if his followers or believers are like Dony don’t read they go with the guy that tells them what they want to hear also am surprise on how a president can run a great country like this without reading policies and perform base on his instincts
They don't care what he promises, they are just happy when people they don't like hate him.
In the words of the great orator Gomer Pyle "Surprise! Surprise"!
Wow!
I respect this man, and now that I know he is a Civil Engineer like me, made me proud!!!
So as suspected he acting and having policy made off of what he feels is right not what is right!!! Because he’s not reading briefings the truth is irrelevant to him !!! There u have it!
Insane! America needs help
It is extremely sad that I trust a Big Oil executive more than our current president.
Jane Leelavathi Thats funny i love it!
The laughter in the room hahaha awwww hurtful y'all hurt my feelings hahahah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There is your Smocking Gum!
atomkraftteddy do you realize how great your reply is? Did you do that on purpose? Ha!
Also Joy Division “Shadowplay” is sublime!
Love you Rex and your candor. Sounds like you are a mature business man. Thanks for respecting the office of our highest office in the US.
this guy turned out to be quite competent, no wonder Trump got rid of him.
The trump name evokes laughter. I won't be laughing until he's out of office.
“He doesn’t read morning briefings”
The integrity of our national security goes unread by the President of the United States.
it's also possible that these briefings are not as useful as you may think. Depending on the administration the PDB's have been read closely, received-but-unread, or just plain ignored. But there seems to be zero correlation between the PDB receipts and the purported success of the Presidencies. In other words, just because someone tosses some information in your face doesn't necessarily mean it is useful. You can love the President or hate him but the Presidential Daily Briefings are a lousy litmus test.
Rex Tillerson would have made a better president for all of us than Donald Trump.
I love the interviewer's response as understatement, such a British way of responding. And he's not British!
Woooow
ALL Trump is about is based on one discipline: "i should talk like the common bigots but do what the big corporations ask me to do."
Too bad his common bigot supporters don't see that happening.
Trump asked “can I press this button “. No, not the launch button.
He gropes the other buttons, watch out!!
Hats off to Tillerson for being honest LOL
You were an enabler. You should have been out the door the first week. Don’t try to regain your legacy now.
Dude, Trump surrounded himself w the best, that he didn't relate well w them is not unusual. Love Tillerson.
Minda What's wrong with him Express his feelings,and that's true,DT is wrong in so many ways,this guy is a decent American compare to him
That's very true. I liked how politics were in the 50s and early 60s. Wayne Morse was an amazing politician. The world has changed now. I think it went down the hill since the Vietnam disaster... The lies...and all post-Kennedy assassination...
john naiman He failed at his job. He couldn’t deliver. He couldn’t fit in. And now he’s whining about it. Not my idea of a great American. More like a great American failure.
Look what Trump and new sec’y of state have accomplished so far!!
It sounds like gave Trump his true feelings on things and stopped his more harmful actions. You'll know when he succeeds in completely filling his cabinet with enabling yes men because we'll be dead in a few weeks.
Rex Tillerson has a lot of class 👏👏👏👍
every official in the government there background come from Big Oil companies as a CEO or something
This is SCARY!!!
the white house has become a bad episode of snl...
"I will be honest with you, it troubles me that the American people seem to want to know so little about issues, that they are satisfied with 128 characters," laments Rex Tillerson.
Yes, we have become lethargic, having neither the time nor the energy to be bothered with the facts.
"I haven't got all day, you know."
How about 15 minutes, as it might take that long to appreciate what went on.
Human affairs are not simple -- notwithstanding our relentless efforts to make them so. Indeed, it is only by appreciating their complexity that we can come to understand our own selves.
If the proper study of man is man, as Alexander Pope said, then understanding the human condition should be our lifelong effort. And there are no shortcuts to this endeavor, or to the understanding of anything else, as Aristotle warned us long ago.
We can not blame Trump. Our system (electoral votes) elected him. Blame the system.
Share Data
No, blame the stupid voters. Their stupidity was apparent in both parties. Hillary? Another sad joke of a candidate.
@Share Data We most certainly can blame Trump and the Electoral College system. Trump for being an egotistical illiterate with a racist streak a mile wide, and the Electoral College system for being an archaic relic of indeterminate usefulness, that too often decides elections in favor of the loser of the popular vote. The vote of the people thrown aside so a select group of individuals, unknown to most Americans, can decide the election. We seriously need to dump both of these; the Electoral College ASAP, and Trump in 2020. Notice I didn't say Trump immediately, as the threat of Pence as president is far worse.
@@jshepard152 It was slim pickings the last election. Didn't like nor trusted either candidates. Hopefully we'll have better choices in 2020.
Right you are, Timothy. Additionally, by this time we all know..there's NOTHING fake about what's going on.
Now Trump got a bunch of lawless guys...
Now, go read Trump's response on Twitter. The baby is up from his nap.
Wendy Schultz 😂😂
ya it figures you are a illegal person in america
Rex Tillerson has my respects!
Funny, Mike Pompeo didn't have any of those problems
I would argue that the Value system disconnect is second to the fact the a former Trump Administration Secretary publicly stated that he would have to correct Mr. Trump's direction, as it regularly violated US law and Treaties.
Tillerson has values?
A fine businessman if ever there was one.
@@ericworiax1277 Too bad climate science deniers don't care about their children...it's worse for people like Tillerson who knows better but hey... anything for a buck..
When you compare him, a greedy immoral corporate businessman to a sociopathic brainless child that trump is, yes Tillerson would look like he has values. Putting an awful person right next to an even more awful, and, what's more, inept, person makes the former look better.
Of course he does, everyone does. His values are greed and self-interest. He values the profits of exxon-mobile over the expressly stated human rights values of the United states and generally accepted universal human rights. His track record, particularly in Iraq and Africa prove that. So yes, plenty of values.
Compared to Bozo the President, yes!
it must take an hour to put the makeup on these gals
And another two minutes to tell them how important it is that they sit up straight. just looking at them makes my back hurt. They probably told the one on the left to sit up so that she equals the height of the one on the right, but... there's also the option of lowering the chair?... It seems there is so much pressure to sit act speak a certain way..body language, etc...so tiresome. There's probably a manual...and you have to sign off on each point acknowledging that you adhere to standard protocol reagrding posture, eye contact to person speaking, allowable interruptions, pauses after key points made, etc etc etc...
If you stood them on their heads they would look like sisters.
W The One, worth it?? All that makeup just gets in the way of sex. Maybe you just don't like sex...
I like Tillerson and I'm far to the left and am no fan of Exxon. He's just a very grounded guy, trustworthy. I hope we see him in office again.
Well, I hope there will be always some one available up there to tell him NOT to play with that button ;-)
I'd vote for Tillerson if he ran for President, it's a shame he's smart enough to not in the first place.
“Doesn’t like to read”😭😭😭
Clash of business cultures! That was interesting. Developers are in their own world.
My only question is, Why is there so many coffee cups on the table?
So embarrassing to have a president who doesn’t like to read!! So sad for America right now
Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a terrible and incurable malady. In most cases, victims of NPD are so repellant and dysfunctional they fail in life. Perhaps inheriting half a billion dollars helped Trump overcome the usual barriers.
Everyone who exits the WH says that this President has diminished brain capacity! They all can’t be lying yet Trump’s pathetic base believes they are! HILARIOUS.
Is there a full version of the interview?
Tillerson is gone for a reason. Just think about that. Were much better off with Pompeo. Tillerson didn't wanna take care of what needed to be done.
What was it specifically that Trump wanted to do that was against the law? Did he do it after the firing?
He just said the truth .....truth blue
I wish you’d told us sooner.
1Drummer
Like, before he knew?
I told you so!!!
Maybe you should put his reading material on audible.
The audience is laughing at our President. Embarrassing... 😕
Where's the whole interview? It's so annoying they have 3 second clips cut up. It's the Internet: you don't need to whittle everything down!
Jaw dropped
I don't see how laughter is a response to any of this
Trump said he was going to surround himself with smart people, & one by one the smart people got tired of his idiocy and resigned.
So what’s new??
In other words, Rex Tillerson wasn’t a *yes man* and people like Mike Pompeo and Stephen Miller are brown nosing yes men.
Why wouldn't 45 read all briefings. Its 45 jobs to read all briefings. That little red button is dangerous with someone who doesn't read briefings
Love Tillerson
Trump should employ some to read the briefs for him if he can’t read or write
Didn't he know this going in?
At last we are hearing the admiral Rex. An experience he must regret....
This is NOT "interesting"; it's tragic & criminal AND barbaric.
Rex Tillerson was the best person in this cabinet because he reminded me of the Rich Texan from the Simpsons
I miss Uncle Rex.
5 years old but still true
Is he coming out with a book too...lol
Why did Rex Tillerson that the job. He said he never met Trump. I never met him neither, I know enough about him that I would not work for him.
Mr. President. It violates the law. You’re going to get in trouble if you do that.
If only we knew what that would foreshadow 😂
This president will make a comic documentary as his Legacy...
Not surprised one bit....just sad.
So Tillerson is tired of being Trump's nanny. Who knew we look back today and says, wow, Tillerson was actually fit for the job.
