Former FBI Director James Comey said President Trump has become a “shrunken, withered figure,” and urged Americans to challenge his actions.
Comey outlined the urgency in what he defined as the “fourth, and final, stage,” of dealing with Trump’s rhetorical attacks on his critics as part of an op-ed published Monday in The Washington Post.
“What’s it like to be personally and publicly attacked by the president of the United States? Like many others in and out of government, I have some experience,” wrote Comey, who was fired by Trump and has feuded with the president for more than two years.
“It’s hard on good people, especially those who don’t have savings to fall back on,” he continued. “But the truth is that, in many ways, it is not as hard as you might think, especially as it continues endlessly, leaking power, shrinking its source.”

“It no longer feels as though the most powerful human on the planet is after you. It feels as though a strange and slightly sad old guy is yelling at you to get off his lawn, echoed by younger but no less sad people in red hats shouting, ‘Yeah, get off his lawn!’ ” Comey wrote.

“I don’t mean to suggest Trump is not dangerous. The horrific betrayal of allies in northern Syria demonstrates that an impetuous and amoral leader can do great harm, even in shrunken form,” Comey adds.
“For the fourth, and final, stage, we need to fight through our fatigue and contempt for this shrunken, withered figure. Spurred by the danger he poses to our nation and its values, we have to overcome the shock and numbness of earlier stages. We must not look away,” Comey wrote.

Hey Comey. What's it like being the innocent victim of a 'mistake'-ridden FBI?
“Former FBI Director James Comey said President Trump has become a “shrunken, withered figure,”
Typical projection.
It’s getting hot in the kitchen.
A man in desperate search for an orange jumpsuit.
Of course, the fake news media continues to bleat that Comey was an unbiased observer to the coup attempt.
Now Comey writes OP-Ed’s for the Compost? They deserve each other.
Projection?
So, it comes down to the fact that he is intimidated by our Red hats, what a pathetic small loser.
Not for nothing...but Comey has a loose screw.
[opening of 6 million dollar man goes here]
This is an Op Ed? Sounds like a primal scream for help.
Please God. I don’t ask for much. Please indict and convict Comey on conspiracy to overthrow the government. Please!
““shrunken, withered figure,” “
He’s anything but that. He looks like he’s gained 30 Lbs in the past year.
This guy is sincerely, existentially nuts.
hillary has said that james comey is becoming depressed.
i hope he cheers up soon.
It won’t be much longer. The entire cabal will be indicted for seditious conspiracy.
Hey Jim, you’re going to prison.
Commie Comey can jam it up his 0bama.
Justice is coming for you Jim. I promise.
If anyone deserved orange crocs and a rimless steel toilet.
