Back in February, President Donald Trump complained to newly-confirmed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson about laws preventing U.S. companies from paying bribes to foreign officials, according to a new report in the New Yorker.
Trump complained that the laws “unfairly penalized” businesses in the U.S., according to the New Yorker.
Tillerson disagreed, however, per the New Yorker. A source with knowledge of the conversation told the New Yorker that Tillerson told the President “that America didn’t need to pay bribes—that we could bring the world up to our own standards.”

A law he has broken many times.
I believe the report that someone heard this, and that they discussed it…
But at least in this, those guys are grownups. They’re whimpering about the fairly minimal subterfuge required to circumvent the law–hell, with the Trump admin in office enforcement is likely minimal, and quashing of same maximal.
Probably kind of a pain when some pipsqueak bribe-ee tries to shake Rex’s successor down for more or he’ll “tell” , but boo-hoo.

Well of course he did.
That’s how he’s used to Playing
That’s his world

Ah…but that’s the rub isn’t it? Trump is bringing the US (all of us) down to his pathetic standards. And most of us deeply resent it.
