YIKES!
And here Tillerson - of all people - does not at all say that The Whining
Donald speaks for all the American people and for the values of those
people! Well, clearly then The Whining Donald - by speaking for himself -
must logically speak solely and only for/to his core if only because if
indeed he The Whining Donald speaks solely for himself The Whining
Donald...and for absolutely, positively no one else...then he is truly even
more a president as different as different as can be!
But to have a US president to be portrayed - by a member of his very own
cabinet, no less - as not speaking for all the American people and the
values of those people is in and of itself something truly unique...truly
different!
How wonderfully marvelously have the Village Idiot and his Village Idiot ilk
succeeded in placing in the White House someone so very different so as not
to speak for the American people and their values! Of what other US
president in all of US history has anyone - much less a member of his very
own cabinet - characterized that president as not speaking for the American
people and their values! How wonderfully refreshing and most entertaining
is having such a different as different can be president like The Whining
Donald!
Quelle différence!
Vive la différence!

Appearing to suggest that Donald Trump did not represent “the American
people’s values” after the recent violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Rex
Tillerson said on Sunday “the president speaks for himself”.
The US secretary of state was responding to questions about Trump’s
assertion that “many sides” were to blame when white supremacists and
anti-racism protesters clashed in Virginia on 12 August.
One person died and many more were injured when a suspect who demonstrated
with white nationalists at a so-called Unite the Right rally rammed his car
into crowd of counter-protesters.
Days after an official White House statement attributed to Trump blamed the
violence “on many sides”, Trump went further in a testy exchange with
reporters.
“You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other
side that was also very violent,” Trump said. Both sides included “very bad
people”, the president added, saying those gathered for the far-right rally,
ostensibly to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee, included many
“fine people”.
Asked if such remarks made it harder for him to represent America abroad,
Tillerson said: “I don’t believe anyone doubts the American people’s values
or the commitment of the American government or the government’s agencies to
advancing those values and defending those values.”
“And the president’s values?” asked Chris Wallace, the Fox news anchor.
Tillerson replied: “The president speaks for himself.”
Asked if he was “separating” himself from the president, Tillerson said: “I’ve
made my own comments as to our values as well in a speech I gave to the
state department this past week.”
Tillerson is the latest member of Trump’s cabinet to refuse to defend his
shifting reactions to Charlottesville.
