Lawrence: No One Defended Donald Trump After 'Moron' Comment | The Last Word | MSNBC

[@LowStuff]

I'm more and more surprised by Rex Tillerson. He came into the job as Mr. Big Oil, wanting to have new oil and gas deals done, but recently, especially with the korean crisis he showed statemanship and diplomatic skill. He's taking his job serious. Unlike the 45th.

[@xyzzdoe3674]

LowStuff Well sort of. Apparently he's not doing a good job and not encompassing everything he's supposed to be doing, but... in comparison to the moron in chief, he looks normal.

[@willyou2199]

Unlike the President, Rex (and everyone else) has something to lose if the world ends. Its a rational thinking to preserve the government and stop nuclear war.

[@robertjenkins2948]

I've no doubt he's a serious person but it's pretty clear that he's out of his depth in that role. His previous experience dealing with foreign governments and businesses appears to have spoiled him, he would of primarily been used to situations where both parties have a common goal of getting the oil/gas out of the ground for sale. The only difficult question he's used to is who gets what cut. In his case the previous experience with foreign leaders doesn't really help him in the role at state

[@unitedjt345]

I’ve been thinking the same thing about Rex Tillerson

[@karolusmagnus8405]

SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT TRUE!!!

[@robertsmith5744]

Rex is no fool, he knows "morons" are dangerous. He will not resign without a replacement that can handle Drumpfy.

[@markjohnson5276]

How's plutocracy working for you America, get money out of politics, end the reality show.

[@LorenaCabreraVera]

Never gonna end plutocracy... They dont see its capitalist oligarchy!!! Only a fu*** miracle or a nuke to the WH would change anything.

[@nkel6111]

okay...you white sheet night riders gave us this oddity......yes I blame on you all.

[@andrew_owens7680]

We can't. We are told that the only way to get politicians to vote money out of politics is to donate more money to get them elected.

[@therealkbrackson]

Old Wisdom dunno what plutocracy has done since it's been in place the moment our gov killed JFK and ever since(maybe not Obama of 08, but they roped him in by '12). Trumpocracy is aging me like a president though. Very stressful! Or as our precedent would put it: "not good!"

[@andrew_owens7680]

I keep getting emails: "Get money out of politics. Donate only $100 per month."

[@billm4074]

Well, we have to give credit to Rex T for being truthful.

[@gladeebuyan7388]

Tillerson is probably scared to leave because he doesnt know what crazy in chief will do when he goes!

[@oldwinston4691]

Gladie Buyan more like keep using his office to help oil billionaires

[@joybrautigam9529]

Tillerson called the moron a moron. He's not afraid. I don't like Tillerson but today I love him.

[@walterscott6435]

Alot of people with even a little integrity who don't want to see Trump go totally crazy are staying against their better judgement. Even if it means they are tainted or diminished

[@tomsenft7434]

Mister Magic : They are all grabbing whatever they can before we toss them out.

[@gabbogabbogabbo]

He's not necessarily dedicated to the US or foreign policy, but he knows he is one of the few people that can legitimately prevent nuclear war.

[@OshkoshMagosh]

Water, big water, ocean water.

[@pyronable]

Abraham Lincoln Oh the illiteracy that is Drumpf

[@joybrautigam9529]

...so much water...who knew?

[@MrBaggareds]

Abraham Lincoln 😂😂😂😂

[@dx5018]

Woter!

[@stormwatcher59]

It's an island, surrounded by water......who knew???

[@Yves_Ka]

Finally someone admitting that the emperor doesnt have any clothes on!

[@jacquesblaque7728]

That's an image that takes serious scrubbing- a nekkid donie. Ugh! Lard-sack!

[@gabor1991]

Tillerson called this fake news.

[@silkytp789]

@Ivan: everyone has been saying that the king has no clothes for quite some time... no one is doing anything about it.

[@Yves_Ka]

*gabor* THAT is fake news........

[@gabor1991]

IvanCuck, WRONG. Tillerson declined this FAKE NEWS story.

[@ragingmonk6080]

"Reality Show" Can we cancel next season?

[@arichardson1311]

Raging Monk okayyyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@nikkiorue3627]

Raging Monk lol

[@jjeshop]

Raging Monk it's already cancelled

[@dac545j]

"The President" has no clothes.

[@dac545j]

You are hoist by your own petard. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_with_his_own_petard for details - I dare you - no, I double-dare you.

[@dac545j]

Do they speak English in "What?"

[@djangofett4879]

Vendicar - LOL, nice troll. Just convincingly stupid enough to seem like a real Trump supporter.

[@dac545j]

Reeled in, I was.

[@MsFreespirit66]

TILLERSON IS WAITING FOR PETROLS DEALS TO BE MADE ...BEFORE HE GOES

[@larrypoorman2300]

" No One Defended Donald Trump After 'Moron' Comment". Oh really, you don't say.

[@Lady_Deadpool]

But there ARE people defending Trump... his supporters.

[@kozmiczian7803]

Lady Deadpool 💋 - stop defending the indefensible . . .

[@joybrautigam9529]

Yes, his moronic 35% base. Not enough to keep him in office

[@janedoe327]

He is the pied piper of other MORONS.

[@MegaToonzNetwork]

Lady Deadpool 💋 wants to kiss Trump? Or does she want put him....on Ice? Tonight at 11

[@firstwave1890]

Lady Deadpool 💋 and most of them are morons too😂

[@gonefishing3644]

It's not so much that Tillerson probably had an unguarded moment of frustration and said what he believed. What is interesting is that some of other people in the meeting so dislike Trump and Tillerson, that they were willing tp leak the story to the press. There must be a lot of unhappiness/resentment among White House staff and Dept. of State staff for this to happen.

[@aidancampbell5644]

They aren't shocked by what he said, they are shocked that he said it in a public forum.

[@luckycharms7232]

Tillerson is the man

[@joybrautigam9529]

There is no defense for this glaring truth!!!

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Trump's life of money and privilege has insulated him from reality his entire life. He reminds me of a special needs kid who keeps hitting bunts and everyone drops the ball with a wink to turn them into home runs. So now he's in the major leagues, confused and frustrated that everyone doesn't think he's the next Babe Ruth!

[@elizabethkelley5260]

Where is the dividing line??? Did we put up with this egocentric narcissist until we couldn't? How could ppl vote for him knowing his potential to blow up the world as we know it? Was the whole country hornswoggled ? YES

[@misterhat5823]

How could people vote him? Racism, bigotry, being a moron, lack of morals. And the list goes on.

[@SomeOne1121]

Betsy is a hottie

[@pepepipi8702]

Clowns administration was a circus

[@spacetimemalleable7718]

Max Boot is Brilliant! He nails it home!

[@dragonfly_88]

Well... You know lol

[@BFDT-4]

The evidence is out there that Tillerson (at least by his inaction, but more by his carrying out Trump's hate of government) left the State Department in chaos, with a 32% budget cut...

[@charliedagoat]

lol "throwing fish at a trained seal" that's exactly what it looked like

[@justsaying3729]

This Presidency has been an disaster and embarrassment to the world from day ONE!!!

[@paulbieleski9707]

"Trump doesn't understand diplomacy" .... most dictators do not.

[@mikebrown819]

I hope he don't leave we need somebody who know what's going on

[@justsaying3729]

Down goes Tillerson, down goes Tillerson....only a matter of time.

[@echad6259]

Who would?

[@dallassmith7468]

Ok... Who in Trump's administration has done a 'good job'? Anyone?...Anyone?

[@jarlocampbell195]

Oh look, here come the guys in the white coats.

[@myprojectionofmyself]

10:10 Shame on you MSNBC for not stepping up against this awful statement.

[@MJFAN666]

A gaf in Washington is when a politician tells the truth

[@AnastasiaR]

Wait... did he say “Rexit”? If so, that’s hilarious

[@antitrumpster3284]

"Stupid is as stupid does". Forrest Gump could figure this out

[@mattclarknyc]

"Let them eat 9-irons." Priceless.

[@Mozart1220]

Everyone is getting fired except the one person that really SHOULD be.

[@DaynJo]

This man Max Boot talks a LOT OF SENSE.. just watch from here, to the end. 10:00

[@whydoidithis]

"Let them eat nine-irons!" Ouch.

[@markaf1]

marie anntonete let them eat paper towels

[@charlesclark9627]

Because it's true!

[@troche1962]

the dude with the glasses on the panel says it the best.......they all say the truth with perfect words.......but the guy with the glasses lol lol lol....thank u

[@wyldeyouth]

I love it! :) Trump is going to hear this type of things more and more with time

[@heesingsia4634]

Betsy is cute. Smiling all the time

[@lillianballard9795]

I Like Mr Tillerson. He is smarter than T and that is his prioblem. Jealously is a terrible thing. Instead of being happy he is there. Remember that most people that worked there,quit. Ler Rex do his thing,reorginize,which it needs.

[@lillianballard9795]

Question. Who has or where is the money to pay the working DC people . Who handles that and is it still there?

[@universal-creator]

Tillerson for president.

[@MrMaenambeach]

When has this ever happened in the past? When has a Secretary of State ever called the president a Moron?

[@edvallecorse2966]

How long will this nightmare last?

[@rexkenny4247]

MPTA!

[@creekwalker62]

The reason he was tossing Paper towels is be cause the Secret Service didn't want him to give the Puerto Ricans any thing hard to throw back at him. Paper towels are soft is my point.

[@justsaying3729]

Have you ever asked yourself "why" these rich people with their grandiose lives want these jobs that they are not qualified for or have any concern for the common American. What an embarrassment. They are all good at one thing....LYING!!! The entire administration. Go get em Mueller.

[@teenagebottlerobert]

How is the title of this clip not "let them eat nine irons" !? 😂😂😂

[@NaomiCurtis]

Do you hear yourself? You are tearing down the one person who said out loud that the President is a moron. He is much more than that but the disbelief with Tillerson is that he said what other won't. HELP HIM! He needs us to come together to say this President has no clothes!

[@Kherudjhuti]

Love Lawrence, but PLEASE can we talk about Devose and Sessions. What are they doing??????

[@MiszRicanGiee]

Isn't the pres. in charge of his own behavior ? It seems like a lot of ppl are making excuses for him acting in the ways he does. But he is a fully grown man and the president. He should be capable of handling his own personal feelings and behavior to to the job. This is common knowledge in any work place to say the very least.

[@warriordragonify]

Waiting for the "...We'll see..." moment.

[@tyjohn2378]

I feel bad for Americans people voted MAD DOG 🐕 into the White House, this mad dog need to lock 🔒 inside the cage for a long time.

[@madamelebuff]

Finally stating the obvious. Tillerson has never been so likable-ish..

[@dianeowen5258]

"You have to kind of laugh"....it's not funny anymore.

[@redhotchillinpeppers]

First domino down. The “moron” door is open... thanks to Rex, (R)s may now feel more ready to step through

[@zeusmasterson4117]

"It [moron] is said by millions of people every day." For my part, I call him a moron a million times a day. It takes a lot of time, but it's all about prioritizing.

[@MrTardis86]

T - REX!!!

[@marksimons8861]

Every single one of his cabinet is forever tainted by their collaboration with Trump. Each of them should be urging the President to stand down for the sake of the country.

[@donemigholzjr.7344]

Tillerson is not going to quit because he is representing big oil and needs to be in position to collect on Yemen's, Libya's, Syria’s, Venezuela’s, and the Kurds tax free profit oil contracts. Tillerson is there suffering away not for the USA but for huge global oil conglomerates attempt to tighten the iron fist of Conglomerate Fascism.

[@mr.allitknow3777]

Of course no one defended Rex Tillersons " Trump is a moron " comment. How do you argue against a well known fact ? And you keep quite Kellyanne...I was absolutely not speaking to you.

[@katim2644]

Tillerson was there to negotiate the Exxon/Russia deal. Why staff the department?

[@jaywalt5573]

King James called him a BUM ...Now Tillerson called me a Moron 😂😂MAGA

[@GiGreen25]

“Let them eat 9irons”. Genius

[@mambojazz1]

$500 BILLION DOLLARS!! Tillerson is going NOWHERE!!! If Tillerson goes, expect to see Russia retaliate!!

[@ArthurMoore-ii8nn]

The "Mooch" slipped up when he said he doesn't understand why senior White House officials feel that they have to protect America from Trump. Tillerson is sacrificing himself by staying on board the clown show in attempt to minimalize the damage Trump can do the the United States.

[@anthonybarlow5955]

Am I watching a report on child daycare or the us government

[@iyerviking]

And in other news, water is wet...

[@karlditz8631]

some one in that whitehouse need to go on camera and speak the truth for an hour about Trumps inability to lead. Someone needs to have honor.

[@erikhumleker1880]

Rex had a "gaffe"...or in politics -accidentally speaking the truth which embarrasses the speaker.

[@normanguy6998]

Name calling 6th grade bs

[@simonlatendresse2229]

"Rexit"! ha! that's really the best one!

[@Lugmillord]

America: Where Tillerson calling Trump a moron is far more important than the elections in Germany. Did they even notice it happened? It feels like the NFL and other superficial topics fill up so much time of the news. Have we really fallen that low?

[@lindag3650]

Many of us have known this for over a year. A con & a grifter.

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

Many Americans were sick and tired of their President being smarter than they are.

[@Vladviking]

Judging by the speed that your "STOP THE HAMMERING" spaz routine got out there you don't have much in-house loyalty either.LOL

[@Ohgr33]

When did Gerard Butler get into investigative reporting? lol.

[@tarquinsmith4315]

well how can you defend trump in the first place?

[@AlanGrahamMusic]

Trump listens to Mattis because Donald is afraid of the military, he is not afraid of Tillerson.

[@mousc460]

This is definitely establishment propaganda to demonize Tillerson.

[@b6schilke996]

Political analysts should also have a degree in psychology these days.

[@meeeka]

Finally, an original cast member of "Big Brother Takes over the White House," tells the truth. On the record. The Public Record.

[@rupulstilskin]

Las Vegas terror due to #45 not being able to to the job, he should have better security in place. This was #45's critique to the mayor in London.

[@rodfranklin9920]

Love the comment at 1:10. The word "moron" is used by millions and millions of people every single day on social media. It would be interesting to get the statistics for that.

[@bunniesforsale4667]

Trump is actually smarter than most of my friends, however, none of them were dumb enough to think that they were qualified to run the greatest democracy and military in the history of the world.

[@jedidahadser9385]

Bog standard donnie

[@grevberg]

What about Tillerson;s ties to Russia, is that a coincidence???

[@chadisan]

I looked it up. Adopted by the American Association for the Study of the Feeble-minded, with a technical definition "adult with a mental age between 8 and 12;" it seems to me Tillerson was technically correct in ascribing "moron" to Trump.

[@justsaying3729]

Tillerson is just another Lackey

[@Chad-un2cz]

Disclaimer: Not News, this is an opinion show.

[@bencheshire]

Weird to think that I'm watching the exact same youtube video that Donald Trump is watching...

[@jimhinsu600]

Trump actually said, being President is much harder than he thought. Even the average shallow minded Trump supporter had to imagine how difficult it would be to be President.

[@-suphur]

Tillerson is setting up a sweetheart deal for his puppetmasters before he's gone.

[@tobylangdale95]

Yes it is interesting that Tillerson had let Trump publicly castrate him in his cabinet position.
