Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon Mobil, served as Secretary of State in the Trump Administration from January 2017 until he was fired in March 2018.

On Thursday, at a fundraising event in Houston, Tillerson excoriated President Trump during the first interview he has given since getting fired. Among other remarks about Trump, Tillerson said:

"So often, the president would say here's what I want to do and here's 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 can't do it that way. It violates the law."

Trump, who is quick to lash out at anyone who criticizes him, did not wait long to trash Tillerson. On Friday Lash LaTrump tweeted:

"Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him. His predecessor, Rex Tillerson, didn't have the mental capacity needed. He was dumb as a rock and I couldn't get rid of him fast enough. He was lazy as hell. Now it is a whole new ballgame, great spirit at State!"

I couldn’t get rid of him fast enough? 15 months as Secretary of State hardly fits the definition of ‘fast enough.’

Dumb as a rock? Lazy as hell? That’s preposterous! ExxonMobil is the second largest (Royal Dutch Shell is the largest) of the world's Big Oil companies, the world's 9th largest company by revenue and the world's largest publicly held corporation. Tillerson did not become CEO of Exxon Mobil by being dumb as a rock and lazy as hell.

When comparing Lash LaTrump with Rex Tillerson, if either one of them is dumb as a rock, it sure as hell ain’t Tillerson!
