The New York Post had way too much fun with its Rex Tillerson front page
New York Post staffers likely never anticipated that they were broadcasting details of the future president's sex life when they published a 1990 headline that read "'BEST SEX I'VE EVER HAD,'" alongside a grinning Donald Trump.
The tabloid's Wednesday front page did a cheeky callback to the original version, swapping it out for a timelier headline: "WORST REX HE EVER HAD," it read, trumpeting the news of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's ouster.
The original headline referenced a quote from Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, while the new one referred to Trump's firing of Tillerson via Twitter on Tuesday. It seems the New York Post just couldn't resist taking a jab at the drama, presenting an homage to their own Trump coverage to slam the "reality-show presidency."
