WASHINGTON: Rex Tillerson, the former US secretary of state, has said that his former boss, President Donald Trump, is “undiscipli­ned” and “doesn’t read briefing reports”.

“What was challengin­g for me coming from the discipline­d, highly process-oriented Exxon Mobil corporatio­n,” Tillerson said at an event in Houston, Texas on Thursday, was “to go to work for a man who is pretty undiscipli­ned, doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things, but rather just says, ‘This is what I believe’. ”

According to a Houston Chronicle report, Tillerson said, “Trump acts on his instincts. In some respects, that looks like impulsiven­ess... But it’s not his intent to act on impulse. I think he is really trying to act on his instincts.”
