Of course there's a Trump tweet for the 'moron' fiasco
Long before he was president, Donald Trump tweeted an "interesting cartoon."
Today that tweet has come back to haunt him after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was forced to hold a press conference denying he called Trump a moron.
Tillerson refused to answer questions Wednesday about an NBC News report that said he called Trump a moron in July, and within minutes this vintage tweet of a cartoon and subsequent meme started re-circulating.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
The original image comes from artist Dan Collins and includes the caption, "I keep thinking we should include something in the Constitution in case the people elect a complete moron." Trump's version was a little stronger.
Modified captions have been memed out over the years and trace back to blogs and Myspace profiles from as far back as 2008.
There really is a Trump tweet for everything.
