President Trump: Reports Of Drama With Rex Tillerson Are #FakeNews

More #FakeNews? It looks that way.

This morning, my Twitter feed was clogged with reports that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a “moron” and threatened to quit. Apparently, this happened around the time Trump gave a speech to the Boy Scouts of America. This is all “according to senior administration officials who were aware of the situation at the time.”

Tillerson quickly hit back against the report. He denied ever considering leaving his post. Addressing the moron remark, he said, “I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that.”

The NBC News report goes on to say that Vice President Mike Pence has been acting as a mediator, urging Tillerson to cool it.

Pence has since spoken to Tillerson about being respectful of the president in meetings and in public, urging that any disagreements be sorted out privately, a White House official said. The official said progress has since been made.

But again. This is coming from anonymous “senior administration officials.” So really, who knows.

President Trump hit back against this #FakeNews report.

Wow, so many Fake News stories today. No matter what I do or say, they will not write or speak truth. The Fake News Media is out of control!

NBC news is #FakeNews and more dishonest than even CNN. They are a disgrace to good reporting. No wonder their news ratings are way down!

The @NBCNews story has just been totally refuted by Sec. Tillerson and @VP Pence. It is #FakeNews. They should issue an apology to AMERICA!

If Trump had serious issues with Tillerson, I’m sure he’d drop some hints. After all, he did with Sessions. That’s all I’m saying.
