If you were thinking that all things surrounding the Trump administration could not possibly get more bizarre, a report from the Washington Post may have just shot that notion straight to hell and back.
Apparently the Secretary of State is secretly Medusa. Or possibly a vampire. Or even a basilisk.
The Post report details that Tillerson’s first few weeks as Secretary of State he has been “isolated,” and “walled off” from the rest of the State Department staff.
Additionally, we learn that Tillerson’s “distant management style has created growing bewilderment among foreign officials” and “threatens to undermine the power and reach of the State Department.”
And then things get really weird:
“Many career diplomats say they still have not met him, and some have been instructed not to speak to him directly — or even make eye contact.”
WTF?! Don’t make eye contact with the guy?! Really? Yes, really.
That’s when Twitter weighed in with some hilarious remarks:

Rule #2: Never feed Tillerson after midnight or allow him to touch water. https://t.co/F6Uf6SaosL

I'm dying to look Rex Tillerson in the eyes while wearing googly eyes. I just need to become a senior diplomat now.

So, it's official: Rex Tillerson can suck your soul just by looking into his eyes.

State Dept employees told not to make eye contact with Rex Tillerson.
He's an irritable elderly vampire.
Like Bill Nighy in Underworld.

What happens if Mike Pence makes eye contact with Rex Tillerson, & their wives aren't there?
Come on, we're all adults here, we know.
