In the wake of President Donald Trump’s recent overnight posting spree that left onlookers concerned for his mental well-being, former FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday that he believed there to be “something wrong” with the president and that he didn’t “seem okay.”
Appearing on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins,” Comey was asked about his recent indictment by the Justice Department over his social media post that included a photograph of seashells, which Trump allies have interpreted as a threat on the president’s life. Comey said he expected an endless string of indictments until “Trump leaves office because he is obsessed with retribution.”
“I’m preparing for three and four [indictments], I mean, it’s not going to stop given who is president of the United States and the way he has really torn apart the Justice Department,” Comey told Collins. “I would expect there will be more efforts to get the president’s enemies because he’s obsessed with it, and that’s really, really sad.”
Collins asked Comey whether he believed Trump was “the same person as he was” nearly a decade ago. Citing Trump’s recent overnight social media posting spree where the president posted content 55 times over a three-hour period – including sharing posts that called former President Barack Obama a “demonic force” – Comey concluded that Trump was, in fact, “different” mentally than he was in 2017.
“He doesn’t seem okay to me. I know that sounds like a political shot – it seems like there’s something wrong with the man,” Comey said.
“There was always something wrong with the man in that he lacks a moral center, but this seems off, this middle-of-the-night Truth after Truth – not an actual truth, but a re-Truthing on his platform. Seems crazy to me. He seems different – not different in you redid your hair, I mean different in that you seem nuts, buddy.”
