former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said he had to repeatedly tell Donald Trump that some of the things he wanted to do were were against the law or violated a treaty.
"I'd say here's what we can do," "We can go back to Congress and get this law changed. And if that's what you want to do, there's nothing wrong with that."
Mr Tillerson called the president "a man who is pretty undisciplined, doesn't like to read, doesn't read briefing reports, doesn't like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just kind of says, 'This is what I believe.'"
"Mike Pompeo is doing a great job, I am very proud of him," the president tweeted. "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!"
The president had touted Mr Tillerson as "one of the truly great business leaders of the world" when he selected him (after just one face-to-face meeting) as his first secretary of state in February 2017.
Then Trump went on Twitter, insulting the intelligence and stamina of the man he selected for one of the highest-ranking positions in his Cabinet.
During his tenure as secretary of state, Pompeo was described as among the staunchest Trump loyalists in the Cabinet.[69] During his tenure, he routinely flouted norms followed by his predecessors.[69] These included a speech via satellite from Jerusalem supporting Trump's re-election, firing State Department inspector general Steve Linick, and standing on the sidelines while Trump and his allies conducted a smear campaign against career diplomat Marie Yovanovitch.[70][69][71][72] Under Pompeo's tenure, career State Department officials quit, were forced into retirement or fired, and were replaced by inexperienced political appointees.[73] Like Trump, Pompeo praised dictators and criticized the U.S.'s traditional democratic allies.[69][73] International relations scholars Daniel Drezner, Richard Sokolsky, and Aaron David Miller described Pompeo as the worst secretary of state in American history, citing numerous foreign policy failures, fealty to Trump at the cost of U.S. national interest, and improprieties in office.
