OP
Tillerson called Trump a Moron a while back. Trump never forgave him about that.

now if you say anything against Russia you'll lose your job

(70,245 posts)8. Well, I do think Trump was very upset when Tilly did that. But yesterdays comment about Russia
by Tilly, surely did add to Trumps ego hit.

(6,262 posts)7. Think I just heard it was AFTER he knew he was out Friday
Out of the room, think it was Andrea Mitchell saying it. He felt "freer" to say things, knowing he was out.
Was that when he was "ill" on his trip to Africa.
I think it was because Trump never got over the moron remark, and also because Ivanka had done such a great job while in Korea (Not)

So maybe honesty came after gaining his freedom rather than leading to it.
