DAY 256: Rex Tillerson didn't deny he called Donald Trump a "moron"

This morning NBC reported that Donald Trump's secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, had inteded to resign because of his frustration with Trump, to him, the report says, even called a "moron."

Hours later, Tillerson denied he had intended to resign or that he had consulted with Vice President Mike Pence on the matter. BUT... Tillerson did not deny he called Trump a "moron." From The New York Times:

But Mr. Tillerson did not contest other elements of the article, including an episode when he was said to have called Mr. Trump a “moron” after a meeting at the Pentagon with other national security officials last summer.

“I’m not going to deal with petty stuff like that,” he replied when asked specifically if he had assigned that label to the president. But his spokeswoman later denied it on his behalf.

So he did deal with denying he had intended to resign. But he won't answer about him calling Trump a moron.

Which suggests Tillerson did call Trump a moron.

Which suggests even Trump's people think he's a moron.
