The popular vote loser currently occupying the White House unfurled his tiny fingers on Wednesday morning and delivered some deep thoughts about his Nixonian firing of the man who is was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and its “links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government.”

The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad!

James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI.

Then—apparently pausing to eat a delicious taco salad from the Trump Grill—he remembered that he hated Mexico and fired off a tweet about it before returning to his obstruction of justice:

Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and Democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me!

Yes, because criticizing James Comey is just like the president firing the man who was investigating—this bears repeating—“links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government.”
