    President Trump in a new interview offered to compare IQ tests with Rex Tillerson after reports that the secretary of State had called him a "moron."

    "I think it's fake news, but if he did that, I guess we'll have to compare IQ tests," Trump told Forbes in an interview published Tuesday.

    "And I can tell you who is going to win."

    Tillerson called Trump a "moron" and considered leaving the administration, according to an NBC News report earlier this month.

    In a press conference last week, Tillerson denied he ever considered leaving the administration.

    He did not directly deny that he called Trump a "moron," but the State Department later said the report wasn't true.

    Trump tweeted last week that his secretary of State never threatened to resign, referred to the report as "fake news" and called for NBC News to apologize.

    The relationship between Trump and Tillerson has reportedly grown more tense in recent months.

    Trump said Saturday he sometimes wishes Tillerson would "be a little tougher."

    Next Trump will say his dad could have beat up Tillerson's dad.

    Seems like he has a sense of humor.

    FWIW, I'd be much happier with Tillerson as president.

    OT: Frankly, I'm glad that Huntsman is back in the administration. That dude is seriously smart. Though it's interesting to me that, after spending time in Southeast Asia as Ambassador in both Singapore and China (and who speaks Mandarin) that he'd be posted to Russia, rather than China.

    I assume that not-China was partly his choice - it doesn't enhance the resume as much to be ambassador to China twice.

    Russia is surely an odd choice for a number of reasons, though.

    He was said to be a thought to replace Hillary as SecState under Obama, so maybe having both China and Russia on his resume makes sense? :dunno:

    Obviously Trump is the moron. Tillerson ran Exxon/Mobil without mindless disaster. Tillerson should punch him in the face as he resigns. Let's post a Senator Corker topic.

    I wish Trump would put himself on Injured Reserve. I want Kevin Spacey for Pres.
