Trump Reportedly Furious at Rex Tillerson's Extensive Cable News Coverage

After NBC News dropped a bombshell earlier this week reporting that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson referred to President Donald Trump as a “moron” and threatened to resign, cable news coverage has been rabid.

From the initial story, to Tillerson’s bizarre denial/non-denial press conference, the story has dominated cable news this week — and that reportedly infuriated Trump, according to a new report from Axios.

The report, by Mike Allen and Jonathan Swan, claims that “Trump’s relationship with Tillerson is broken beyond repair,” and that CIA director Mike Pompeo is being floated by advisers as a possible replacement for the beleaguered secretary of state.

And there was one thing in particular that drew the president’s ire, per Axios:

After what Trump considered a strong trip to Vegas, he seethed when he got back and saw Tillerson’s gaffe dominating cable-news coverage. Everywhere he flipped, there was Tillerson’s face instead of his.

1. He doesnt care about being called a "fucking moron" because truth be told he

is told that all the time, his entire life.

What does bother him is anyone having more press than he has, the way a 7 yr old is bothered if his neighbor friend has one more cookie than he has.

This is so fucking embarrassing to have this child in office...

4. Most of the responses he receives to his tweets are incredibly insulting.

He doesn't care what anybody thinks, he never has.

2. Maybe everybody in the Cabinet

should start calling the Dotard names. Maybe he'll finally have the mother of all tantrums and go off deep end.

especially when you are also the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

Sad. As everyone can plainly see.
