It’s no secret that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is a tell-it-like-it is kind of guy. So when he was bombarded with rude questions (”Are you committed to staying in your position as Secretary of State?” ”How long will you stay for?” ”How’s your relationship with the President right now?)”from the press during a welcome with the Qatari Foreign Minister, he resounded in true T-Rex style:

TRANSCRIPT OF THE EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE PRESS AND TILLERSON:

SECRETARY TILLERSON: His Excellency, welcome.
FOREIGN MINISTER AL-THANI: Thank you very much.

SECRETARY TILLERSON: Great to see you again at the State Department.

FOREIGN MINISTER AL-THANI: Thank you for receiving us. Thank you and great to be here.

SECRETARY TILLERSON: Thank you.

QUESTION: Secretary Tillerson, have you committed to staying in your position as Secretary of State?

SECRETARY TILLERSON: I’m not going anywhere.

QUESTION: How long will you stay for?

SECRETARY TILLERSON: As long as the President lets me.

QUESTION: How’s your relationship with the President right now?

SECRETARY TILLERSON: It’s good.

WE LOVE THIS GUY!!!
