Comey: Getting wedgies as a kid in N.J. prepared me for Trump

Decades before former FBI Director James Comey says he faced the mob boss-like tactics of President Trump, the fired lawman got an early lesson in bullies growing up in Allendale, he writes.

In Comey's book, "A Higher Loyalty," the 1978 Northern Highlands Regional High School graduate describes suffering through body-shaming, wedgies and getting shoved into lockers, according to the Washington Post, which obtained an advance copy of the already best-seller.

Comey, who says Trump demanded a loyalty pledge, links lessons from his upbringing in Bergen County to his public clash with the president. Trump ultimately canned Comey amid the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

"Surviving a bully requires constant learning and adaptation. Which is why bullies are so powerful, because it's so much easier to be a follower, to go with the crowd, to just blend in," Comey writes.

The future FBI chief faced other traumatic experiences growing up in a leafy section of Bergen County. At 15, Comey was held captive by a gun-toting assailant dubbed the "Ramsey Rapist."

Comey seems to have some deep mental issues. Very insecure.

A pledge for loyalty to the POTUS? ???? What planet is this fresh hell on? The Executive Branch demands loyalty. The horror.

Comey is such a rooty toot! More likely the “bullying” was payback.

James Comey is one freaky weirdo. I think we’ve heard that about him before.

There IS a great opportunity here.

Presented the right way, it will show Comey as the fruitcake he truly is.

I guess a “Super Duper Wedgie” is the source of s—t for brains activity.

The Ramsey Rapist, huh? I lived just over the state line from there in Tallman, NY. At that time a friend of mine’s dad was a cop in Mahwah, the next town over. If I wasn’t tearing up the streets in my 68 Dodge Charger we would most likely be bar hopping in that area. We NEVER heard of the Ramsey Rapist. Comey sounds more and more like another Lying Brian Wiliams.

Usually that type grows up with a chip on his shoulder. He ended up with a boulder. (He’s been hiding it under his halo and wings).
