Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was asked by CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” Sunday to comment on Sen. Bob Corker’s remark that President Trump had “castrated you before the world stage.”
Tillerson, despite long-running stories of clashes with the White House, and his refusal to comment on calling the president a “moron,” blamed Washington culture, not Trump.
“Well, as I indicated earlier, Jake, I think this is an unconventional president,” Tillerson said. “He uses unconventional communication tools. He uses unconventional techniques to motivate change. And for people that have been around Washington a long time, this is a place that — you know better than I — you have been here longer than I have — this is not a place that likes to change. It actually enjoys the status quo.”
“The last thing anyone likes to do in this town is make a decision, because when you make a decision, you’re suddenly accountable for that decision,” he added.
Tapper agreed. Tillerson said Trump is “very unique.” He continued, ” I don’t think there’s any doubt that anyone sees him as anything other than the most unique president we have certainly ever seen in modern history, that we can — we have recorded history of.”
“Hard to dispute that,” Tapper responded.
After the secretary of state said that he agrees with Trump’s objectives, Tapper once again asked for a response to Corker’s remark. “That’s all you — you’re a cattle — you have a cattle ranch. You don’t want to say anything about the senator calling — suggesting you have been gelded before the world? That’s not anything that bothers you?”
“I checked. I’m fully intact,” retorted Tillerson.

You don’t want to say anything about the Senator suggesting you’ve been gelded before the world?” Secretary Tillerson answered, “I checked. I’m fully intact.” Tapper laughed and said, “I did not expect that answer.” The secretary also expanded on Trump’s “unconventional” qualities, saying, “Jake, I think this is an unconventional president. He uses unconventional communication tools, uses unconventional techniques to motivate change.

“I am fully committed to his objectives. I agree with his objectives, I agree with what he’s trying to do,” he said. “How he wants to use his own skills, tactically, to push things toward change, I’m there to help him achieve those.”

Physically yes, morally not so much.

Only one way to prove that, and licking DTs boots ain't it.

Final Thoughts
Perhaps the news should have been more focused on Corker’s remark than Tillerson’s response. Corker is leaving the Senate, which has become more divided than ever, and not just on party lines. Tillerson doesn’t need to be Secretary of State. He can quit anytime and suffer no consequences. Maybe Tillerson is committed to America’s goals, not wholly to Trump’s, and that’s what keeps him in his job amidst the most turbulent cabinet in modern history.
