Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump, furious and frustrated, gears up to punch back at Comey testimony [View all]
Alone in the White House in recent days, President Trump frustrated and defiant has been spoiling for a fight, according to his confidants and associates.
Glued even more than usual to the cable news shows that blare from the televisions in his private living quarters, or from the 60-inch flat screen he had installed in his cramped study off the Oval Office, he has fumed about fake news. Trump has seethed as his agenda has stalled in Congress and the courts. He has chafed against the pleas for caution from his lawyers and political advisers, tweeting whatever he wants, whenever he wants.
And on Thursday, the president will come screen-to-screen with the former FBI director he fired, James B. Comey, who has consumed, haunted and antagonized him by overseeing an expanding Russia investigation that the president slammed as a witch hunt.

Hes infuriated at a deep-gut, personal level that the elite media has tolerated [the Russia story] and praised Comey, former House speaker Newt Gingrich said. Hes not going to let some guy like that smear him without punching him as hard as he can.

Hang onto your hats, folks. I don't know how this is going to go down, but I have a feeling we're going to see something the likes of which we've never seen before with Trump live tweeting during Comeys testimony.
