Well shit, dude seems like he wanted to retire to the ranch with his grand kids and was kind of manipulated into taking this position:
“My wife told me I’m supposed to do this.”
After watching the contortions of my face as I tried to figure out what to say next, he humbly explained that he had never met the president before the election. As president-elect, Trump wanted to have a conversation with Tillerson “about the world” given what he gleaned from the complex global issues he dealt with as CEO of ExxonMobil.
“When he asked me at the end of that conversation to be secretary of state, I was stunned.”
When Tillerson got home and told his wife, Renda St. Clair, she shook her finger in his face and said, “I told you God’s not through with you.”
I mean, this shouldn't be funny, but it sadly is. Some old CEO just wants to retire and spend some time with the fam but gets called up into one final mission by the Orangutan, and then his own wife, who drops the Almighty Argument (and presumably the sweet baby Hesus), and this dude can't muster the gumption to say "fuck off"!
disclaimer: i'm like 6 whiskeys in. texas is taking its hold.
