.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump isn’t helping himself with his latest shot at fmr. Sec. of State Tillerson.
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was on Capitol Hill yesterday, testifying to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the Trump administration’s foreign policy. Among other things, Tillerson told lawmakers that when Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Germany in 2017, the Republican was at a disadvantage – because Putin out-prepared him. As the Washington Post reported:
“We spent a lot of time in the conversation talking about how Putin seized every opportunity to push what he wanted,” a committee aide said. “There was a discrepancy in preparation, and it created an unequal footing.” With this in mind, it stands to reason that Putin would take full advantage of the American leader’s amateurishness and ignorance.
