Donnie and Rex

Donnie really likes the term "political correctness" which he uses promiscuously and often when it is not apropos. With Donnie," political correctness" often means he disagrees with something or doesn't understand it. With Donnie, there is often a causal relationship between a failure to understand and disagreement. Donnie has typically shown contempt and complete disrespect for anyone with whom he disagrees or with whom he feels a need to claim victory. This was true during the primary debates, during the final campaign, and continues. Therefore, notwithstanding that he is unfortunately the president, there is no reason to show him any respect. It is not a one-way street. Perhaps we are seeing the beginning of this with the mayor of London, with good reason, calling him a" pathetic excuse". There really needs to be more blunt discourse  directed at Donnie and his administration. For instance, Huckleberry Hound's daughter, Sarah, was at the podium today attempting to blame  media spin as misconstruing Donnie's stupid and thoughtless  attack on the mayor of London at which time Donnie clearly misstated what the mayor had said. We need more comments such as" do you expect anybody to believe this horseshit?" Donnie and his staff need to be subjected to a lot of ridicule.

Now on to Rex Tillerson. He is somewhat enigmatic to me. Notwithstanding his lack of diplomatic experience, his experience as the CEO of Exxon in which role he had to deal with foreign governments and particularly those in the middle east may well have prepared him for the position of Secretary of State. He also seems to speak in a measured manner. He has disagreed with Donnie, particularly with respect to the Paris record, but it is not clear that Donnie listens to Rex. Donnie refused to allow Rex to appoint  his number two pick and the state department is still woefully understaffed. Rex set off for the Far East with obviously no particular agenda and an inadequate staff. Donnie has said that his son-in-law Jared is going to solve the difficult middle eastern dilemma. That is really insulting to Rex. Rex seems to be required to walk a tight rope on which he is allowed to disagree with Donnie preliminarily but then support him after Donnie makes another dumb decision and/or stupid remark. It is not clear that Rex can be useful and effective in this administration. My guess is that he signed on for honorable and patriotic reasons but at some point if my guess is correct, he is going to wonder if he made the right decision. It may not be up to Rex. At some point someone is going to tell Donnie that Rex means king. That may be impossible for Donnie to handle.
