Rex Tillerson paints a portrait of an "undisciplined" president, who has a certain propensity to "break the law" to carry out his policy.

In a debate on Tuesday at Harvard, the content of which is reported in an article in the newspaper of the university, he explains that Donald Trump was "Have," several times, by the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Benyamin Netanyahu "a little Machiavellian"
Now he adds a facet, that of a rather naive leader to the head of the Israeli government, himself presented as a political "Extraordinarily talented" although"A little Machiavellian". "When we talk with" Bibi " [the nickname of Benjamin Netanyahu], it is always healthy to have a good deal of skepticism about what he says. "said Rex Tillerson.
According to him, the government of the Jewish state does not hesitate to water Washington from "Disinformation" to plead his case. "They did this with the president a few times, to convince him that" we are the good guys and they are the bad guys.
