I'm sure Dolt 45's obsession with dominance makes it very uncomfortable for him to be towered over (especially by a guy who's investigating his connections to Russia).

So he thinks Comey is showboating and grandstanding.

stand the fact that Comey towered over him AND wouldn't agree to a loyalty pledge. Trump looks like a little child.

because the lsos shrinks when in the presence of anyone who has him by the balls. And that also seems to include most women.

President Trump gave him the axe. Comey had the authority and the goods to make Trump sweat. Oh, and he towers over him too.

Hands like that are a gift, from what I've heard, for some really tough classical pieces. Liszt and Rachmaninov could play a chord with a 13th, or a full octave plus a fifth.

but Comey towers over him by almost a head, so I doubt Comey felt at all dominated.

17. I was at William & Mary when Comey was there . . .

. . . and, no, he didn't play for the Tribe (or, the "Indians," as they were technically still known back then).

long fingers, and sooo much taller. He's stooping a bit in that photo too. I have several friends who are a minimum of 6'4" ranging to 6'9", I'm 5'3". I used to joke about greeting their navels before looking up to make eye contact.
