Remember the recent Rex Tillerson speech?

The commencement speech where he talked about honesty and truth being essential to a free society?

I think the reporters had it all wrong.
They assumed he was talking about Trump.

Rex Tillerson could very well have been talking about the media/press outside of the FOX/Trump bubble as the issue. As if the FOX/Trump bubble is the honesty and truth against the rest of us.

My 2 cents.

Tillerson is a wretched person in my opinion.

But he has no need to kiss Trump’s ass.

And Trump fired him on the shitter.

He used to sock-puppet himself as Wayne Tracker, defending himself as the head of Exxon. This is a man who doesn't think his personal shit stinks, and has never made a mistake in his career. His commencement speech was carefully crafted to make it sound like he was talking about his time as Secretary of State, but he doesn't say a word about the Trump administration.
