Trump on Rex Tillerson: ‘He’s a World-Class Player’

RUSH EXCEPT:

WALLACE: "Let me ask you about Rex Tillerson, head of ExxonMobil. Why does a business executive make sense as the chief diplomat?"
TRUMP: "In his case, he's much more than a business executive. He's a world class player. He's in charge of, I guess, the largest company in the world. He's in charge of an oil company that's pretty much double the size of his next nearest competitor. It's been a company that's been unbelievably managed.

WALLACE: "He's the secretary of state --"
TRUMP: "No, no, but I have tremendous respect for him. He's a world class player."
