Ask James Comey.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-praised-comey-in-october-then-fired-him-tuesday-for-that-very-conduct/2017/05/10/85e89f28-3597-11e7-b373-418f6849a004_story.html?utm_term=.ce3006f1fc35

Trump praised Comey in October, fired him Tuesday. Explanations don’t add up.

Consistency has never been part of President Trump’s playbook, and no more so than in the firing of FBI Director James B. Comey. What once drew praise from Trump as a candidate has now become part of the president’s rationale for one of the most controversial dismissals of a government official since the Watergate scandal.

Candidate Trump repeatedly praised Comey for his decision to make a public announcement about the investigation. He commended the director for having the “guts” to act as he had and said he had “brought back his reputation” with that single announcement. Shortly after being sworn in, Trump singled out Comey at a White House ceremony and showered him with more praise.
