President Donald Trump on Saturday continued to criticize NBC News over the network’s reporting that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called him a “moron" earlier this summer, and its subsequent reporting on chaos that engulfed the administration in its wake.

"[email protected] is so knowingly inaccurate with their reporting," Trump wrote on Twitter. "The good news is that the PEOPLE get it, which is really all that matters! Not #1."


Since the report, Trump has said he has total confidence in Tillerson.

Tillerson held a rare news conference Wednesday at which he denied that he had to be talked into staying on the job, while not explicitly denying he had used the term "moron." State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert later added that the secretary would never use such language.

The president has repeatedly denied the Tillerson report, characterizing it as "fake news."
