"Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson insisted on Wednesday that he has never considered resigning, despite what associates have described as deep frustration. But he did not deny a report that he has grown so disenchanted with President Trump that he once referred to him as a “moron.”
Just three days after Mr. Trump publicly undercut Mr. Tillerson by dismissing efforts to reach out to North Korea, the secretary of state abruptly summoned reporters to reaffirm his loyalty to the president and dispute a report by NBC News that he had been prepared to step down over the summer until counseled by Vice President Mike Pence.
“The vice president has never had to persuade me to remain as secretary of state because I have never considered leaving this post,” Mr. Tillerson said. Mr. Pence separately denied the report.
But Mr. Tillerson did not contest other elements of the article, including an episode when he was said to have called Mr. Trump a “moron” after a meeting at the Pentagon with other national security officials last summer."
