The People's Cube - Political Satire

A report in the Wall Street Journal claims that President Donald Trump ordered former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to eat wilted vegetables that were served to the two men by Chinese hosts.



From the Wall Street Journal:

In a private room in China's Great Hall of the People in November, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sat with President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials as their hosts delivered plates of wilted Caesar salad.

Mr. Trump, in the midst of a five-country tour of Asia, grew concerned the untouched greens would offend the Chinese, according to people familiar with the matter. So he ordered Mr. Tillerson to start. “Rex,” he said, “eat the salad.”

Mr. Tillerson laughed off the remark, but the moment illustrated the at-times awkward relationship between the secretary of state and his boss that came to an abrupt end Tuesday when Mr. Trump announced in a tweet that he had replaced him.

Initially, Mr. Trump brimmed with enthusiasm about the arrival in his cabinet of a seasoned executive, the chairman and chief executive of oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp.

What a pity. If such claims are true, I guess the most appropriate response is that he missed out on a nutritional opportunity.
