Two major reports published by the Washington Post and New York Times in rapid succession Friday capped a remarkable week in politics.

On Friday, the Times reported on an official White House summary of the closed-door Oval Office meeting between Trump and the Russian ambassador and Russian foreign minister. According to that summary, in addition to divulging highly classified information to those Russian officials, Trump also boasted about firing former FBI Director James Comey, who was overseeing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign. The president also reportedly called Comey a “nut job.”

A few minutes later, the Washington Post published a report that the federal investigation has expanded to include a senior White House official currently in the administration. The Post described the individual as someone “close to the president.”

This rapid-fire Friday news dump jolted the internet, as users struggled to comprehend the magnitude of those reports. Take a look at some of the best reactions below:

1. I've been saying, all along, that I truly believe that is a part of his problem

It is a part that is exacerbating his already demented personality.

2. he's not demented he's arrogant, dumb and in over his head

and used to lying his way out of everything

3. I'm going by up close and personal experience with a family member

My brother and I were just talking about this, today. So many of his 'behaviors' are like what we saw in our mother, who had Alzheimer's. Trust me - it can be subtle, at first, and it is VERY easy to rationalize it away as something else.

I'm not saying he isn't, and hasn't been, an arrogant asshole, for most of his life. But it just something that maybe you have had to see, first hand, to identify.
