Rex Tillerson fucking moron outburst at the Pentagon in the summer of 2017. So in my role as a Trump historian here, I need to point that out because it's a kind of a shocking view of American power as that we're essentially the mob heavies here and give us money with a gun pointed at your back, or we won't do anything for you.
