In case you hadn’t heard, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reportedly referred to Donald Trump as a “moron” over the summer.
CNN just now: “We have confirmed that the Secretary of State did refer to the president as a moron this summer."

But apparently, it gets better (or worse):
Just now, @SRuhle: "My source didn't just say he called him a moron. He said he called him an f-ing moron."

Tillerson tried to shut down the whole to-do at a presser:
7. Reporter asks Tillerson on the "moron" comment – Tillerson says he's not going to talk about "petty" reporting

As did Trump himself:
The @NBCNews story has just been totally refuted by Sec. Tillerson and @VP Pence. It is #FakeNews. They should issue an apology to AMERICA!

But that didn’t work.

It’s hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Especially when something like this resurfaces on top of it all:

We’re stumped.
At this point the programmers of the simulation we're living in are just going back and inserting stuff to fit the current story line. https://t.co/dpUsixu3se

Or is it more than that? Does Donald Trump have special powers or something? Is he psychic, or is it even more than that?

We can’t. It’s impossible.
So we're all convinced older Trump went back in time and gave younger Trump a sports almanac now right?
