The great Wikipedia tells us that "moron" is an outdated term. And yet, the definition — applied to the AssHat-in-Chief — is spot on: the term was "... used to describe a person with a mental age in adulthood of between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. Look at the AssHat's gestures and posture; listen to his word-choice and voilà, it is a preadolescent male. So, even Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (not a giant among his predecessors in the State Department) was entirely correct when he referred to the AssHat-in-chief as a "moron." If this is a (fair & balanced) moronic truth, so be it.
PS: Borowitz is LOL-funny.

Rex Tillerson Says He Remains Fully Committed To Moron’s Agenda
By Andy Borowitz
TagCrowd cloud of the following piece of writing
Attempting to pour cold water on reports of a rift between him and Donald Trump, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters on Wednesday that he remains “fully committed to this moron’s agenda.”
“There will always be people in Washington eager to stir controversy when there is none,” Tillerson said, at a hastily called press conference at the State Department. “I am standing here today to tell you that I am on the same page as this idiot.”
Elaborating on that point, the former oil-company CEO stressed that he and Trump were in agreement on a broad range of issues. “From North Korea to Iran to China, there is no daylight between me and this imbecile,” he said.
Tillerson also took pains to deny that he was ever close to resigning from his Cabinet post. “When I promise a cretin that I am going to do a job, I stay until the job is finished,” he said.
Asked to confirm reports that Vice-President Mike Pence had to persuade him not to quit last summer, the Secretary of State refused. “Let’s leave that other moron out of this,” he said. # # #
