Trump attacks NBC for 'fake news'

President Trump counter-punched NBC "News" calling the "Nothing But Communism" network "fake" on Wednesday after they reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a "moron."

The network reported that Tillerson had considered resigning over the summer amid differences of opinion with Trump's White House. But the report claims that Tillerson even called Trump a "moron" after a meeting at the Pentagon along with Trump's national security team and Cabinet officials. 

It was also reported that Vice President Pence became involved when this happened in order to assuage the tensions between the two.

Regarding the NBC report, Trump fired back: "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!" he tweeted.

Apparently, President Trump believes the typical news viewer can distinguish between real and fake news and refuses to watch the latter. 

In truth, NBC ratings are down because people are sick of watching an endless loop of anti Trump rhetoric and would rather watch William Devane talk about gold and silver.
