| Of course there's a Trump tweet for the 'moron' fiasco Posted: 04 Oct 2017 10:13 PM PDT  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. SEE ALSO: Rex Tillerson calls a press conference just so he can refuse to deny 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. An interesting cartoon that is circulating. pic.twitter.com/OPG2R2ytkr — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2014 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. WATCH: The $1,000,000 text message that remotely hacks your iPhone

A conventional strike using massed numbers of cruise missiles could eliminate many of Pyongyang's fixed nuclear facilities—assuming U.S. intelligence is able to determine where those sites are—but a more difficult problem is presented by North Korea's elusive mobile launchers and super-hardened deeply buried facilities.
