Firing Comey was the single most damaging action Donald Trump has taken with regards to his approval rating, so it makes great (or strong!) sense to keep talking about it.

If you feel the compulsion to tweet, don’t, like, tweet about the relatively robust economy or low unemployment rate or whatever. That would just be foolish.

When you’re in jail for obstructing Justice??? Just s guess

DAY 504: Self-consumed, self-righteous, self-aggrandizing.

Not that it matters but I never fired James Comey because of Russia!

If only we had a recording of an interview with Lester Holt broadcast on NBC when you say the exact opposite.

“I never fired James Comey over Russia”

You said that you did to Les Holt on the TeeVee machine. A lot of people heard it and in addition, I saw it on closed caption. Lie or memory impairment?

I will thank him when that decision leads to his impeachmemt.

I think after Bob Mueller was hired, the people who were thankful he fired Comey weren’t, and the people who weren’t thankful he fired Comey, were.

I can only speak for myself, Dotard, of course

It’s a good thing trump has secret service protection. Because a crazy old senile guy definitely shouldn’t be out in public by himself.

Trump will be the president* until Fox and Friends says he isn’t.

erik_t · June 7, 2018, 4:19pm

On this topic, it is clear, more than usual, that Donald Trump literally does not perceive facts in the same way as you and I. He is unable to process the idea that there exists a single objective reality and a single objective history that he lacks the power to alter.

What popped into my head was a violin playing the tune “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen.” Poor, pitiful, unappreciated Donald!

Thank you Trump for firing Comey and setting up the hiring of Bob Mueller. Also thank you for publicly saying to Lester Holt you fired Comey because of Russia.

I will thank Trump for firing Comey on the day that he is indicted for obstruction of justice because of firing Comey.

Yep. It’s predictable and in an almost yawn-worthy way.

Everyday its the same old thing. Flaming Narcissist says something stupid to get attention drawn to himself, and everyday the media willingly gives in to this form of banality, which is easily belied by well-documented and known facts.

Wash, rinse, repeat…

Meanwhile, his smug tweet only means he’s really reacting to some new commotion we may not have heard of yet, probably over some truly bad news for him regarding the investigation. It could just as easily be that he’s approaching some kind of panic mode or another meltdown, and we’re just gonna have to wait before we learn about it in a mere couple of hours from now.
