President Donald Trump will reportedly respond live on Twitter as former FBI Director James Comey testifies to a Senate committee this week.

On Thursday, Comey is expected to testify to the Senate Intelligence Committee about his firing and whether Trump attempted to influence the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

The White House had initially said that it would be setting up a “war room” to deal with Comey’s testimony, but sources this week revealed that officials had failed to follow through with the plan.

Washington Post reporter Robert Costa told MSNBC on Tuesday that the president would directly respond to Comey on Twitter as the testimony is underway.

“I was just talking to some White House officials this morning and their view is that the president himself wants to be the messenger, his own warrior, his own lawyer, his own spokesman,” Costa explained. “Some outside people, some surrogates will be available.”

“But the president is expected to be tweeting on Thursday in response to Comey, not to stay quiet during the testimony,” he added. “Because he himself wants to be the one driving the process.”

Oh my god. Thursday can't come soon enough

 

[Log4Girlz]

Glorious

 

[BronsonLee]

So he's going to be tweeting during his religious conference thing that they're trying to have him do instead?

 

[facetheslayer92]

Ahahahahahahaha

 

[nintendoman58]

oh my god

 

[Dispatch]

Well, since his tweets are always reasonable and intelligently-worded, this will go extremely well.

 

[jack_package_200]

Is Comey testifying today?

 

[nature boy]

Pathetic.

 

[Cake Boss]

What a time we live in.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Of course he will, doesn't have anything better to do.

 

[cpp_is_king]

lmao, can't wait. He should actually do a livestream on twitch or something, would be legendary.

 

[jelly]

So he wants his loyal idiots to listen to what he says and not Comey. I wonder why..

 

[Wiz]

They should have a live screen in the room so Comey can respond in real time to the tweets.

 

[Kusagari]

Spoiler: he'll say fake news a lot.

 

[Miyahon]

Is Comey testifying today?

No it's Thursday

The White House had initially said that it would be setting up a ”war room" to deal with Comey's testimony, but sources this week revealed that officials had failed to follow through with the plan.

How do you fail to set up a war room? This is the biggest thing threatening your entire agenda and future.

“I was just talking to some White House officials this morning and their view is that the president himself wants to be the messenger, his own warrior, his own lawyer, his own spokesman.”

What was it that Hulk Hogan said? Something along the lines of working yourself into a shoot?

 

[Ourobolus]

The gift that keeps on giving

 

[Brashnir]

can we get him under oath beforehand as well?

 

[Lord Fagan]

Oh dear god.

Watch as he announces a contest.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

 

[rambis]

This will be quite some spectacle.

 

[f0lken]

Please do

 

[HotHamBoy]

Trump will tweet or Trump will dictate to his lawyers who will tweet?

Because the former doesn't go well. The second still seems like a terrible idea.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Fuck yes, free comedy.

 

[Saya]

We need a bingo card for Trump's Thursday Tweetbonanza.

"Hoax"
"Fake news"
"Wrong"
"Sad"

 

[Officerrob]

What could go wrong?

 

[DCX]

Yes, please do!

DCX

 

[bebop242]

Ok officially now more hyped for this than E3.

 

[entremet]

The circus act never ends.

 

[Socivol]

This is just so pathetic....this is what the American president has become.

 

[Funky Papa]

I vividly remember the time when I used to shit on Obama for sport.

I miss those days. Maybe I should embrace the fuckery.

 

[Pastry]

lol 😂

 

[everyday math]

I thought he was speaking at a religious conference

 

[Lys Skygge]

lol watching him squirm in realtime will be a delight

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

What was it that Hulk Hogan said? Something along the lines of working yourself into a shoot?

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Thank god the president will be serving personal vendettas, live, while he is in an office, to the world via his phone.

And they shit on millennials for their phone habbits...

Older people are just, if not more, guitly

 

[MrSaturn99]

"Nuh uh, nuh uh!"

 

[_woLf]

Expecting lots of this:

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I'm sure that Trump wouldn't mind going under oath to counter anything disparaging that Comey says, you know if he's so innocent?

 

[Ray Down]

I'm sure nothing will go wrong /sarcasm

 

[Wet Bloodfart]

This is so fucking stupid.

 

[ZeroDivide]

Shouldn't he be, ya know, trying to govern the country instead of sitting by a TV with his phone tweeting?

WAIT.... I thought I was talking about a sensible person my bad

 

[Auto_aim1]

Since his tweeting usually makes things worse, bring it on!

 

[studyguy]

So he's going to be tweeting during his religious conference thing that they're trying to have him do instead?

Right, curious about that too since he's literally speaking at the same time as this hearing.

[marc^o^]

We need to invent a new word, pathetic is not strong enough to convey Trump actions.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

I don't see how this won't backfire on him

but the two things i've learned from this administration are:

1) If anyone says believe me, you shouldn't
2) This administration will pick the worst choice when presented with two options, every single time

 

[BoogieWoogie]

We need a bingo card for Trump's Thursday Tweetbonanza.

"Hoax"
"Fake news"
"Wrong"
"Sad"

"WITCH HUNT"
