The president of the United States is still furious at his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for reportedly calling him a moron or, upon further reporting, a fucking moron. And he wont stop venting to friends and senior aides about the news outlet that broke the story.
In yet another sign of how deeply NBC News has managed to get under his skin, Donald Trump has, in recent days, taken to saying that the network is run by morons, two sources who have spoken to the president told The Daily Beast.
Trump regularly complains during the day and evenings about NBC as fake and out to get him in the same way he [recently] did with CNN, according to one White House official.
The president has a long-running feud with NBC, in general. But his eagerness to reappropriate Tillersons reported epithet against the Peacock Network is not just driven by disgust with their reporting. Trump also has a habit of hurling the same insults leveled at him back at those he considers enemies. This has been the case with his use of fake news to attack the press, the insistence that Hillary Clinton, not he, is Vladimir Putins puppet, and his and his teams arguments that the DNC, not his campaign, engaged in collusion with a foreign power.

Gee, wasn't it NBC that put Trump's stupid-ass show on the air all those years? Wasn't it NBC's prime talent on the Toady Show who assured then-Candidate Trump that if Donald wanted to send a message, Matt Lauer was ready to put on his Western Union cap and bolt from the studio immediately?
Now they're all mad at each other? Keep an eye peeled for Cactus Jack.
