You might think my headline is hysterical, and you would be correct. It is. But it’s the latest bombshell report from MSM.
You think I’m joking? Please. Look at this headline from The Hill:
This is BOMBSHELL BREAKING NEWS you guys. Trump told Rex Tillerson to eat a salad.
The Chinese leaders had reportedly included Caesar salad on the menu for a dinner with Trump, Tillerson and other top U.S. officials in November. The event was held in China’s Great Hall of the People during Trump’s tour of Asia.
Trump grew worried that the Chinese officials might be offended if the U.S. leaders didn’t eat the salad, the Journal reported.
“Rex, eat the salad,” Trump told his top diplomat, according to the newspaper.
Tillerson reportedly laughed off the president’s comment.
The Journal cited the incident as an example of the sometimes tense relationship between Trump and Tillerson.
Trump joking and telling Rex to not be rude and eat a freaking salad is an example of their sometimes tense relationship. Are you kidding me right now?

Trump making Tillerson eat a salad in China is so emblematic of Trump’s pettiness.

I just cannot believe people are freaking out over this. The general vibe of that particular conversation is completely missing. Trump always delivers those types of remarks with a certain degree of levity. You hear them at rallies all the time.
But this is the news. Trump FORCE FED (except not really) Tillerson salad, because he’s a legit dictator. And his daddy. Or something.
