‘What the actual f*ck is this?’: Internet aghast after Trump publicly threatens his former FBI director

President Donald Trump tweeted up a storm on Friday morning, but the tweet that caused the most controversy was the president’s threat to former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump had fired merely three days earlier.

“James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” the president wrote.

Twitter reacted with shock and horror to Trump’s threat, and even many conservatives conceded that it’s wrong to threaten your former FBI director who had been investigating your presidential campaign for possible collusion with the Russian government.

A sample of top reactions follows below.

4. Breaking: an unhinged lunatic is in the White House, and he's getting worse by the hour.

The tweet is spot on. I have said Trump has crossed the line before but this takes the cake.

That's right - Trump is now threatening the former head of the FBI he just fired, & implying he illegally recorded conversations.

6. Seriously, why would he choose a public forum to issue his threat?

There must be many, many people in the DOJ or FBI who could have conveyed that message to Comey.... or even a phone call or email to Comey, himself, would have done it.

So why did he STUPIDLY go public? Narcissism makes you stupid, I guess. He just had to show to everybody how STRONG he thinks himself to be.

Lock him up.... in a prison, on an island, in an asylum. Doesn't matter much to me as long as he's out of the White House.

8. You answered your own question

tRump thinks the people and the press will turn against Comey.

7. Trump is a thug.

People keep expecting him to understand what it means to be president. Trump has no capacity for understanding anything except his very tiny world view, in which he is a deeply compromised thug who is owned by foreign powers because he owes them a ton of money and they have compromising information about him.

The president of the United States is a thug who is controlled by foreign powers.

9. +1!

[yardwork]

10. It's really very simple.

[elmac]

11. This is why his voters love him

remember when he said he could shoot somebody and his numbers would go up? Well, his supporters are as batshit crazy as he is. In their sick world he can do no wrong. Why I have nothing to do with his fascists supporters, related or not.

[ffr]

12. People have been saying that tRump wants out. Maybe he's got us all bamboozled.

He can't step down. He wants us to take him down.

[Amaryllis]

22. I was starting to wonder about that.

Why even bring up tapes, let alone threaten Comey?

[genxlib]

19. That took me a minute

I kept envisioning Nixon standing on some kind of medieval castle.

Took me a minute to realize you meant Tourette's Syndrome.

But yeah, I agree with you. It's like he can't help blurting shit out.

[SunSeeker]

21. LOL

Fixed it.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. This is to discredit Comey and Russia investigation and strike fear into all

must be tactics learned on the streets of New York

[hamsterjill]

16. Let that orange Sumbitch keep it up!

I could be wrong, but I don't think Jim Comey is a man that will take threats lightly. If reports are correct that Comey enjoyed a positive relationship with other FBI agents, etc., then that might be a factor, as well.

Let Trump keep it up. He's going to piss off the wrong person sooner or later.

17. PRESIDENT QUEEG (seriously)

[Vinca]

18. Love the Obama/tyrant/vegetable remark. LOL.

[Mountain Mule]

20. LOCK HIM UP!

Dangerous malignant narcissist who thinks the entire world is his personal playground.
