During his first public appearance since he was ousted from the administration via presidential tweet, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told the crowd at a Texas cancer center fundraiser that President Trump was pretty undisciplined, doesnt like to read and often had to be reminded about the law, according to the Houston Chronicle.
So often, the President would say heres what I want to do and heres how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you cant do it that way. It violates the law, Tillerson said, adding that he didnt want to criticize Trump.
adds that he would tell him to go to Congress and change laws - if he were to pursue (whatever he wanted to do that he couldn't - doesn't discuss particular instances of what Trump wanted to do that would break the law...)

(82,849 posts)Why would someone invite that odious man to a fundraiser? And why would Tillerson sign on to fight cancer? Wouldn't that be a betrayal of his kind? Unless it was a fundraiser for cancer.

"I agree with what you are trying to do for all of us in the .1% bracket, and I fully support the ends, its just that you have to devise more clever means to those ends so that it technically can be approved by our more than willing SCOTUS. "
