President Trump celebrated the firing of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe on Twitter, calling it a “great day for Democracy.”

“Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI,” Trump tweeted hours after McCabe’s firing on Friday night.

“Sanctimonious James Comey was his boss and made McCabe look like a choirboy. He knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the FBI!” the president continued.

Trump is the most despicable person on the planet.

1. Hands fucking down!

[dalton99a]

2. Pure evil.

[pazzyanne]

18. And the orange one has been planning this for months.

The only thing this shows is the rotten, evil core of the suit in the white house. He must go if this country is to survive. Ryan and McConnell are not doing their jobs in respect to this matter. Would be nice to remove Ryan this year!

[Clarity2]

3. The little dictator

doesn’t know the first thing about democracy.

He’s going to get a lesson soon though

[jeffreyi]

4. Vicious.

[chuckstevens]

5. Karma is real Donny!

[Moral Compass]

6. Agreed

Trump is not an ideological creature. He's just a fucking privileged dick.

I want to see Trump's comeuppance--his complete downfall more than I hated Nixon. It is hard to overstate that.

I cannot adequately express the disgust I feel towards this petty, vindictive and unfortunately so powerful little man. I don't know McCabe but he strikes me as an honorable man who tried to do his job the way he thought it should be done. That Trump would personally attack someone who served the U.S. for over 20 years and then pressure his lapdog AG to fire him just before he becomes eligible for his full 20 year pension shows what a small foolish little man they both are.

He has diminished the Presidency to a joke in a little over a year.

Trump is ever the bully boy. Utterly despicable.

[The Wielding Truth]

7. Trump is not respectful of the USA or it's laws. He must be ousted immediately!

He has not been honest to his oath of office or his actions in the office of President. He has lowered our nation's integrity and should not continue to occupy the position.

ENOUGH! I think we have all had enough of him.

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Great tweet in terms of McCabe's lawsuit against being fired. Trump just admitted

that this was about Comey.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Hey Donnie,don't look now,

that shadow following you is the Agencies you messed with. Don't fool the Agencies.

[edbermac]

10. Enjoy it while you can, Donnie.

Soon your day is coming.

[notdarkyet]

11. Trump needs to be told YOURE FIRED!!!

[joshcryer]

12. Tyrant.

[Midnight Writer]

13. I think this one will resonate. This is bragging about screwing a cop out of his pension. Big mistak

[SunSeeker]

14. Trump is pure evil.

[olddad56]

15. an average day for the Trump dictatorship.

[flying_wahini]

16. Every person who still has a pension will see this firing cringe worthy.

The firing may be celebrated in some circles but the fact he couldn't let him retire with his pension intact is just kicking a man when he's already down. This will Not play well.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. Agreed

Lost pensions is a big sore point with lots of Americans - like miners and steelworkers some of Trump's biggest supporters.

[syringis]

17. Even assh*le is too good for that ...don't know...

Assh*les have an utility. Trump ????? After 1 million years, I'm not sure we can find one !

Why did he fire McCabe?

A day before this man could retire ?

Has McCabe a possibility to sue this circus called "Trump Administration" ?

[chelsea0011]

20. No, there is a great day for Democracy coming in November.

[Chemisse]

21. This makes me sick. n/t

[bucolic_frolic]

22. This is really over the top now

Don't know how people like this don't meet their comeuppance somewhere along the line in life.

Thug protectors, I suppose.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. If he thought FBI was against him, this firing & tweeting can only make it more so. . . . . nt

[Vinca]

24. Trump just handed the nails to his coffin to the FBI.

They won't let an agent who is 48 hours from retirement be treated like this.

[mainer]

25. This is a mistake on Trump's part. Should've let the man quietly retire.

Now we're ALL watching the story in horror, the eyes of the media are focused on McCabe and pondering the real reason for the firing, and Trump has reinforced his image as a spiteful, evil man. There was no logical reason to fire McCabe when he would have been gone in a day.

[Maeve]

26. I'm not fond of McCabe, BUT!!!!!!

Two days before his pension???????

That is lower than low and I hope he has video/written evidence to give to Mueller!

[NCjack]

30. I think a good lawyer can show the absence of due process and get

McCabe his pension and some insult money.

[JDC]

27. POS

[duforsure]

28. People need to remember this moment

Of pure political cruelty to a law enforcement agent that worked 21 years of his life to protect and serve this country, and trump has sessions firing him to keep him from getting his pension. This should send shock waves throughout all law enforcement agencies, and show them the contempt trump and sessions has for the rule of law in this country, and them. The American people need to remember this so when they're pleading for mercy at their sentencing hearing , how cruel they were to others is why they deserve the max sentences for their crimes.

[Phoenix61]

29. How to turn every single civil service

employee against you in one fell swoop. Wonder how that's going to work out?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. can we bring back pillory and stocks?

I estimate there are at least 65 million people who would like a chance to throw a rotten tomato or rotten egg at the orange face of TrumPutin.

Might take some doing to get stocks made that will hold such tiny hands and yuuge head.
