Support NeoGAF

[Strike]

You think? He's a moron and I hope the IC buries him.

 

[JoeyJungle]

I thought it was bullshit, but holy shit, I think they really didn't expect this to be a big deal. What the fucking fuck.

 

[KarmaCow]

Since his first visit to the CIA he almost immediately derailed into a whiny rant about the size of the crowds at the inauguration in front of the momentum to all the dead CIA agents, I can't imagine this would have gone any better.

the moment he truly became president

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

When was this?

 

[Bronx-Man]

This dude really thought if he became president all of America would unconditionally love him.

 

[Escape Goat]

Art of the Fail

 

[B-Dubs]

This dude really thought if he became president all of America would unconditionally love him.

He really had no idea why everyone liked Obama.

 

[WedgeX]

This dude really thought if he became president all of America would unconditionally love him.

Exactly what has happened. He figured that since his employees never spoke out against him, all were very "loyal" to him, the American people would do the same.

But you can't fire the American people, so we're not going to pretend to like him.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Considering James Comey's and the FBI's support of Trump during the election, I thought the FBI would welcome him.

 

[BackLogJoe]

I feel we are very close to seeing the executive branch attempt to seize power in the US.

 

[_Nemo]

Ha, pussy.

Trump fired their boss and said he sucked at his job because of reasons.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Haha. What a fragile little child. Get fucked Trump.

There's almost no chance of that ever happening with Trump so I don't understand why people keep bringing it up. He would need to full backing of the military to take the country by force which he obviously does not have. Congress nor the courts are going to give up power. The GOP is playing nice with Trump until it benefits them not to.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I think it's time the POTUS/countries requires a license or certification before you can run for election to such powerful posts. We require licenses for driving, scuba, operating heavy machines...but the person in control of economies and nukes blah blah just up and runs for election? Weird.

This guy is straight up delusional.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Fire them all.

 

[Hazmat]

 

[theignoramus]

Fucking coward.

 

[Beartruck]

Considering James Comey's and the FBI's support of Trump during the election, I thought the FBI would welcome him.

The FBI liked Trump. They liked Comey more, and Trump just impaled him right in front of them.

In one swift move, Trump turned a mostly loyal agency into an enemy. Dude can not stop making enemies.

 

[Balphon]

Comey was by all reports well respected within the Bureau and Trump shitcanned him in the most cowardly manner possible.

 

[FormallyFamicom]

If Trump keeps running away from all the people who hate him, at what point will he just make no public appearances ever? End of the year? The summer?

He has to. He craves applause

Seriously. Trump would end up rushing forward with only Conway and Bannon by his side. His loyalty has barely a 30 yard radius.

[Pizza]

I wonder if we'll get to the point where trump is literally unseen outside rallies or Russian leaks from the whitehouse

Like I wouldn't be surprised if we learned most of what is happening in our govt from internal leaks in two years

 

[RedAssedApe]

He needs to hold an election rally.

 

[ezrarh]

Let's jump ahead to the part where we make him a bunker where he can hang out with Kelly Ann.

 

[Elandyll]

Dunno...

How long would it take to make an Executive Order saying


"Every single FBI personel is fired, as of right now.

Glory to Trump

His will be done."


?

I said attempt.

 

[woolley]

I said attempt.

But attempt with what?

 

[BackLogJoe]

But attempt with what?

The same sad shit hes been attemptingother bullshit with? Executive orders that get shot down? Blatant lies to the media?

 

[ZOONAMI]

The thinnest skin.

So many Ls

I hope the IC buries him.

 

[Marvie_3]

Amazes me that anyone thinks this coward is a tough guy.

 

[ratcliffja]

Ha, pussy.

Congratulations. You grabbed yourself.

 

[Trojita]

Bitchmade

 

[Spine_Ripper]

The last time I remember him being openly booed was when he visited the NYT headquarters a few months ago. I'm waiting for the huge televised event where an entire crowd boos the shit out of him. He would never live it down.

 

[StoneFox]

President Trump cancels task: Dangerous terrain.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Amazes me that anyone thinks this coward is a tough guy.

Is Donald Trump supposed to be some sort of male ideal? Is that where the American right is at now?

 

[Calm Mind]

Our President has more in common with a tomato.

 

[Imperfected]

Is Donald Trump supposed to be some sort of male ideal? Is that where the American right is at now?

The American right sees whatever traits they need to believe they see in him to convince themselves they should vote for him.

Depending on which Republican you ask, he's a pious man who will save the country from blasphemy, a maverick reformer untouched by the corruption of politics, or the hard-nosed strongman needed to stand up to the dangers of an uncertain world.

The reality that he's a pampered, witless brat who couldn't even name you the books of the Bible, much less their contents, never factors.

 

[DangerMouse]

LOL, take another L Trump.

Coward. Take the criticisms like an adult, you orange fuck.

Yup. Biggest baby in the world.

 

[Kalamari]

I suspect the majority of people in the FBI that hate President Trump are the Obama era appointees. This was probably a test to see who gets fired next.

I really don't get this ice cream thing. What adult talks like that?

Is...is the ice cream related to the dinner Trump had with Comey?

Eh, I'm not in the FBI but to me it feels like peoples' loyalties are being overplayed here. I'm sure some people in the building are loyal to Comey and highly regard the man but I imagine most people, at the end of the day are somewhat indifferent. Maybe they like him, maybe not but I'm sure most people having worked up to the FBI have had enough bosses to not really have issues with one being canned, justly or unjust.



What I do think about the FBI is this, I think by and large most of them consider themselves professionals. I also don't know that most of the rank and file people care about the political theater surrounding their actions. The higher-ups can worry about the political ramifications surrounding any information but I'd imagine a great deal of people feel that what a voter takes with the information that an investigation exists is not truly their problem. Comey did mess up but he was in a tight spot. So long as he was truthful, in the end, did it matter to rank and file FBI officers how the voting populace perceived that news? I also think most consider themselves as law enforcement. They probably generally subscribe to the idea of if you're innocent let them do their job and they'll clear you, there's ultimately no need to fear of an investigation by them if you're not in the wrong. They also probably have more lame investigations into political dealings than we'll ever know to the point they don't care, heck many probably don't even know about most investigations and tune them out unless they're brought in on one, but this, this looks crooked as fuck. I can't imagine that people not on the investigation that previously were content with waiting for their colleagues to make their final judgement before having an opinion themselves are not now questioning the loyalty of the President. How could they not. The optics of this are terrible. It's not what the innocent should do. It's not what someone who should trust the FBI to make an impartial investigation and judgement should do. I imagine a lot of alarm bells in agents minds went off that day.

And it's not because it was Comey but it could have been anyone in that seat, liked or not by his peers is irrelevant. The President ousted someone overseeing an investigation into his ties with a foreign power. Loyalty to Comey's essentially a non-issue at that point.

And lastly really is just the weak ass way he was fired, which shows such a lack of leadership and respect for a human being that I'm surprised more people aren't upset. Which has been a recurring theme with this President which really should call into question his leadership abilities that he's supposedly so good at. I don't know nor care about Comey and I think that was a pitiful way to get fired.
