President Trump, in a morning tweet, disputed that he was 'out-prepared' by Russian President Vladimir Putin and blasted Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as 'dumb as a rock.'
Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told lawmakers that Russian President Vladimir Putin was more prepared than President Donald Trump for their meeting in Hamburg, Germany, putting US officials at a disadvantage, a Democratic House Foreign Affairs committee aide told CNN Wednesday.
Tillerson told lawmakers during a secretive meeting Tuesday that he was guided by"American values" such as democracy and freedom, but could not or would not offer an assessment as to whether the same could be said for Trump, according to the aide.
