President Trump ordered Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to eat a salad served to U.S. diplomats during a trip to China last year, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The Chinese leaders had reportedly included Caesar salad on the menu for a dinner with Trump, Tillerson and other top U.S. officials in November. The event was held in China's Great Hall of the People during Trump's tour of Asia.
Trump grew worried that the Chinese officials might be offended if the U.S. leaders didn't eat the salad, the Journal reported.
"Rex, eat the salad," Trump told his top diplomat, according to the newspaper.
Tillerson reportedly laughed off the president's comment.
The Journal cited the incident as an example of the sometimes tense relationship between Trump and Tillerson.
Trump ousted Tillerson as secretary of State in a tweet Tuesday morning, replacing him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

Perhaps it is made up BS from the MSM. That is more likely than not.
Was it a prison joke? Or is that toss salad?
The salad had more meat than this story.
What a lot of crap...This is news??
Because the salad had Russian dressing on it and Trump wanted Tillerson to be properly indoctrinated. They was playing them funny violins that only play pentatonic scales at the dinner. I have that on good authority from unnamed sources.
That’s does it. Low-IQ Waters has something on him!
And only let him have ONE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM!!! < /TheHorrorTheHorror >
Caesargate!
“Two scoops for ME, only a single scoop for all others”
This is about the same level of B.S.
“The poor flood victims were there, grubby-faced and hands outstretched, while an angry Trump was THROWING food and hats at them...”
Same BS
T-rex is a meat eater.
Frankly my dears, I don’t give a damn. What a stupid azz column.
Must be a presidential thing to do?
With Russian Dressing?
Really find this hard to believe.
If Rex don’t eat the salad, PDT ordered no dessert for him and sit there till he finished EVERYTHING.
(Actually PDT wanted Rex’s desert - ice cream)
Is this what is called news these days???
Next they will be worrying about how many scoops of ice cream...no wait too late on that one. Ok how about this, soon the Leftist loons will start blaming bad weather on conservatives...no wait, too late on that one too...
Jacqueline Thomsen,
What a silly thing for someone to comment and then for someone to write about.
Please grow up and do something worthwhile.
Most of us in the real world past 30 have, at some time, had a boss, senior co-worker or older colleague that was rudely spoken, sometimes arrogant or downright dictatorial about small things. Guess what? Sometimes in looking back that person had other qualities that made them one of the best people we ever worked with in business or other endeavor.
Smug derision of those we don’t like often reflects on us more than the target. Ms. Thomsen, get a life.

Just to clarify, Trump knew more about Chinese etiquette than both the diplomat he was speaking to and the reporter who wrote this article?
