"I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His 'memos' are self serving and FAKE!" Trump said on Twitter early Sunday, one of five Comey-related tweets of the morning.
"Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!" Trump also said in what so far has been the final tweet.
I don't get the appeal of this guy, he just sounds so insecure.

Imma guess that it has something to do with networking. Is the Rich Old People Sport, after all.
Trump is a terrible president, but this is a stupid line of criticism. I am cool with any president getting out of the office and trying to clear their head on a regular, sustained, intentional basis. I do not want the president to feel like he or she is on the clock 24-7 with no opportunity for work-life balance. From experience, I know that my own judgment suffers when I'm in the office too long, but my lapse in judgement just affect things in my little corner of a bigger organization in a small state in one country. POTUS's decisions are more significant.
uh ok? i'm pretty sure the criticism comes from the hypocrisy of trump and many republicans needling obama for golfing yet don't care when trump does it far more frequently than obama.
That's fine, but it's his and his followers hypocrisy that is infuriating. He gave Obama so much shit for something he's doing on a way more regular basis. Plus he's charging taxpayers for his outings, money that goes to his companies pockets. It's not the right way to "relax."
There is not a trace of this in the OP. Perhaps you should ask that person why they want to adopt the same line of argument as Sean Hannity of all people.
Trump deserves the blowback because of how many times he criticised Obama's golf outings, even claiming he'd never be at the golf course as president because he'd be too busy working. He set himself up for this by being the hypocritical blowhard he's always been.
Add on the fact that he personally profits every time he goes to a property he owns, and people have every right to be angry about this. Minor on the overall scale of Trump's despicable acts, but that doesn't mean it doesn't count.
It isn't a poor line of criticism. Why? Because Trump himself regularly slammed Obama for the time he spent golfing during his presidency.
Just as Trump's actions over Syria should be thrown in his face given his public statements on previous interventions in the Middle East, it is entirely fair to criticise a man who ranted about spending all his time working on fixing the country when he became President - and damning his predecessor for the amount of leisure time he took - for spending so much of his Presidency golfing, especially during tense geopolitical situations like the current flare-up in Syria.

At some point, Trump supporters are simply going to have to admit that the one the thing they value above all else is hypocrisy. I can't understand how they can keep insisting this is a terrible character trait when they all engage in it. But if they'd just admit it's fine to say something is bad, but then do it yourself, they would instantly divest themselves of a lot of valid criticisms against them in logical arguments. A guy can't say, "Hey, your guy is being a hypocrite! That's bad, won't you do something?" If you turn right around and say, "But I LOVE hypocrisy! That's MY guy! Your guy is an idiot for saying one thing and... doing something ideologically consistent with what he just said! When my guy my says abortion is bad, but then gets abortions for their mistresses, I APPLAUD that!"
Yeah but not every president spent years criticizing and attacking a previous president doing it only to do it EVEN MORE than the president he was complaining about.
OP

Seriously? He's spent a third of his time in office at his properties siphoning tax payer money.
Also when you order a military strike maybe you shouldn't fucking go golfing a day later.
perhaps you notice that sean hannity's tweet said "should take military action", i.e. at that point and time he was waiting on congressional approval. also while he did go golfing that day he was also off on a three day trip to sweden and russia the next day. meanwhile trump canceled his trip to latin america. so it seems like obama actually has things to clear his head about. well i guess donald trump does too, like his attorney's office being raided. so no, the line of arguments aren't equal.
Also tomorrow (Monday) he heads out to Mar-a-Lago
Working holiday week?
Does Twitter have that flashback feature like Facebook does? Be nice if they enacted one specifically for blowhards like Trump and Hannity to be reminded of their past nuggets of wisdom, at just the right time.
Dude...he's golfed more in his first year as president than Obama did in all EIGHT of his years as president and the amount of time Obama spent golfing was apparently enough to be critical of him, according to Trump and most other conservative media pundits at the time. Every day this man golfs at this point deserves to be criticized because he'd certainly return the favor if it was anyone on the other team. The last thing we need to worry about with this lazy oaf is his work-life balance.
Thank goodness he cancelled the trip to South America so that he could focus on his golf game... I mean Syria.
Trump's spent his entire term playing golf though
which is probably a good thing to minimize the damage he's causing to the country
Trump is the laziest president i've ever seen in 15 months he hasn't done anything at all..but no uproar when Obama was doing it they all got mad and now silence, it is madness this man needs to be removed from office and yet GOP are the ones with no spines at all.
What a hardworking hard worker who works hard. He needs a break from all that exhausting dereliction of duty and Russian cock puppetry.
Uhh, consider the context. We're not criticizing some old timer for enjoying his retirement.
How about we only elect people who have the physical, cognitive, emotional, and motivational capacity to deal with a Presidency, such as Obama?
nothing is wrong with golf. Everything is wrong with trump.
Thought it said Russian Poll at first.
Looks like an old man trying to scold some kids.
This is a story because of how much he criticized Obama for playing golf. He is a hypothetical prick
For a while, I suspected Trump regular visits to his Mar-A-Lago were too frequent to be just a hobby, so he must be using his golf outings to:
A / Siphon money from the governement to his company, by making his escort pay full price for rented rooms.
B / Give other businessmen and CEOs a chance to meet him (and maybe bri... I mean convince him to use his influence for them), as too increase the number of rich people who would pay for membership.
The membership fee for Mar-A-Lago got much more expensive once Trump became president.
Now, after a year, I think he's too stupid for point B, and that he's mostly going to hear people praising him. He must be pissed to hear "Mr President, you shouldn't do that" five days a week, and simply want more asslicking.

It was actually given to a blind trust to run until he was no longer president. But they were so incompetent that the farm owed over $1 million dollars when he got it back. So even worse than selling it.
Wait, what? I thought Mar-a-Lago was the name of the golf resort.
Edit: I may have misread your post.
It's ironic that he spends so much time golfing and owns a bunch of courses but people who play with him say that he cheats all the time.
