Trump thunders at ‘#FakeNews’ NBC as Tillerson slams report he called president a 'moron'Donald J. Trump✔
@realDonaldTrump
The @NBCNews story has just been totally refuted by Sec. Tillerson and @VP Pence. It is #FakeNews. They should issue an apology to AMERICA!
10:18 AM - Oct 4, 2017 The
NBC News report had said Tillerson considered resigning over the summer amid disagreements with the White House.
“
There’s never been a consideration in my mind,” Tillerson told reporters, in a previously unscheduled statement.
The report
also said Tillerson even called Trump a “moron” this summer after a meeting at the Pentagon with members of Trump’s national security team and Cabinet officials. Vice President
Pence reportedly got involved at the time to discuss ways to ease tensions.
Tillerson said Wednesday he would not address “petty” stuff, but said of the president, “He loves this country. He puts Americans and America first. He’s smart.”
NBC News says it is standing by the report. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/10/04/trump-slams-nbc-as-disgrace-after-report-that-tillerson-called-trump-moron.html
