Tillerson, Trump...sane cop, crazy cop

It is disgusting and unprecedented to see a US Secretary of State be publicly contradicted, humiliated and scorned the way Trump has Rex Tillerson. Tillerson states we have lines of communication with North Korea over their nukes; Trump calls such communication naive and pointless. Tillerson says we'll begin negotiations with North Korea on all issues; Trump says North Korea must give us everything we want before we'll negotiate anything they want. Tillerson caves to Trump every time. He might as well tell Trump to keep up his beatings till Tillerson figures out what the boss wants. 

Normally, I wouldn't be concerned about Trump's abusive treatment of employees, colleagues, competitors, something he's done for decades. But When Lindsay Graham, the Senate's most virulent warmonger, asserts there's a 30% chance of war with North Korea, I fear for mankind. It is a wonder Tillerson hasn't quit. Maybe he only stays to represent the sane wing of the US government on foreign policy, and to prevent Trump's next book from being 'The Art of the Failed Nuclear Deal'.
