Tillerson Couldn’t Keep Up with Trump

RUSH: Now, the Drive-By Media today is having a lot of fun with quotes from Rex Tillerson. Rex Tillerson, the former first secretary of state named by Donald Trump, he did an interview. It was at a benefit dinner for the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Bob Schieffer, formally Face the Nation, interviewed Tillerson for a — I don’t know what it was for. It might be Face the Nation.

Anyway, Tillerson unloaded on Trump, and so the Drive-Bys are beside themselves today reporting this.

That is fascinating to me. This is exactly right! Notice the word “undisciplined.” If you don’t live like a CEO — and Trump is a CEO, by the way, of the Trump Organization, self-made CEO. If you don’t live in the disciplined manner that establishment norms say you must, then there’s something wrong with you. And there’s something wrong with somebody undisciplined. What does undisciplined mean?

I would submit to you — you’ve heard the news today that the chief of staff, John Kelly, is resigning or being fired or some such thing. And one of the reasons given is that he’s exhausted. You know why he’s exhausted? It’s because nobody can keep up with Trump! You want to talk about discipline! The guy works on maximum four hours of sleep a night. The guy is never idle.

Donald Trump arrived, the way I hear this Tillerson sound bite, Trump arrives knowing what he wants to do. He doesn’t arrive unsure and he’s not gonna admit that who doesn’t know what to do because he’s not from this world. He’s there, and he has a specific agenda that everybody that elected him knows what it is: Make America Great Again.

Tillerson’s talking about some guy comes in and says, “This is what I want to happen.” And your typical Washington bureaucrat or CEO bureaucrat will say, “Well, where’s the memo? Where’s the plan? Where’s the blueprint?”

Trump said, “There’s no blueprint. Just do it! This is what I want to happen. This is what I want.”

“Well, uh, you know, you shouldn’t do it that way.”

“I don’t care what you — just make it happen.”
