Say you're a terrorist out there, plotting your next massacre as ISIS does. Or a malevolent and unpredictable dictator, contemplating another illegal missile launch over Japan, such as North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Imagine you're a power player yourself, such as Russia's Vladimir Putin. Imagine you're a crazed failure running out of money as the mobs build, such as Chavista Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro.
What do you think when President Trump fires 'the most powerful man in Washington?'
And not just fires him, but does it in the coldest possible way - publicly, through the television screens, as Comey bizarrely laughed, convinced he was unfireable, just as he began to make a speech in Los Angeles. It was an artful use of the media, of which Trump has a masterly understanding. "You are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately," Trump's letter read, released soon afterward the laugh.
You're not going to mess with that man.
World leaders, ever since the days of President Reagan's air traffic controller's debacle have long noted how a U.S. president behaves on domestic mattters as their cue to how to act with the U.S. leadership. Part of holding power is knowing how to use power. Trump knows how to use power and his firing of Comey shows that he is not afraid of powerful people.

White House briefing
WH gerbalists, like zoo chimps taking turns trying to mount a flat beach ball, interrogate WH spokeswoman. Looks like she’s doing a good job.
“You guys keep asking the same questions, so I’ll keep giving the same answers.”
“It’s never an easy process to fire someone. He was avoiding the chain of command.”
Now the gerbalists want to know if there will be a special prosecutor. (For their “Russians under our bed” chimera?)
She’s doing a good job facing these jackals.
WH: `NO need for a special prosecutor’
“No matter what this president says, you will see Democrats fight him every step of the way.” Spokeswoman
Now that is cute and clever!
“We would like to see the Russia investigation completed.” WH
She dismisses press corpse.
George Stuffalotupme, Dianne Feinswine. I can’t watch anymore
True, but give some credit to Jeff Sessions for courage.
Its a good thing Trump got control of the CIA early (Jan 23), otherwise he would have died from a “heart attack” by now.
Trump knows how to use power
Yup
Look at the pyramid of documents starting with the Asst. AG, the AG, and, finally, the President’s letter to Comey.
Even the HR department would give a “thumbs-up” on the documentation.
Snowflakes need to suck-up a dose of reality.
I believe it was the right thing to do on the merits. Strategically? I’m not as sure...
Action is taken, confidence is restored!
