On “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace noted that the United Nations had condemned President Donald Trump for not unequivocally condemning racism and asked Tillerson if Trump had made it more difficult to promote American values abroad.
“We express America’s values from the State Department,” Tillerson said. “We represent America’s values, our commitment to freedom, our commitment to equal treatment for people the world over, and that message has never changed.”
Wallace noted that the U.N.’s statement suggested world leaders are beginning to doubt whether the U.S. is living its own values.
“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,” Tillerson said.
What about the president’s values, Wallace asked.
“The president speaks for himself, Chris,” Tillerson said.
After a moment of silence, Wallace asked whether Tillerson was deliberately trying to separate himself from the president. Tillerson replied simply that he’d already made his own statement on his department promoting U.S. values.
Can you say "awkward?"
Now you might think that it is no big deal that Trump's Secretary of State seems to be distancing himself from his boss (But don't fool yourself it IS a big deal.) however it appears he is not the only one in Trump's administration to be doing so.
Here is Trump's Secretary of Defense James Mattis talking to the troops.
"You're a great example for our country right now it has some problems, you know it and I know it" so just "Hold the line until our country gets back to understanding and respecting each other."Wow. "Hold the line until our country gets back to understanding & respecting each other..." Jim Mattis to US troops http://pic.twitter.com/VMAAXjBWyg— Richard Chambers (@newschambers) August 26, 2017
It sounds like he means hold the line until Trump is out of office and America can start repairing itself.
Or is that just me?
Some how I get the feeling that Trump is becoming more and more isolated every day.
