There are many tell-all books about President Trump — ever heard of “Fire and Fury”? (Of course you have.) Former FBI director James Comey is coming out with his own memoir, “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership,” next week that touches on the Clinton email investigation, private talks with President Obama and many more “highest-stakes situations” he’s dealt with throughout his career. The book also reportedly paints a slanderous portrait of Trump — which is why the president roasted Comey as a slime ball on Twitter.
James Comey is a proven LEAKER & LIAR. Virtually everyone in Washington thought he should be fired for the terrible job he did-until he was, in fact, fired. He leaked CLASSIFIED information, for which he should be prosecuted. He lied to Congress under OATH. He is a weak and…..

….untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!

Not only was it Trump’s “great honor” to fire Comey last May, but he’s also accusing the former FBI director of being a “LEAKER” and lying under oath, referring to the June 8 testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Oh, and then there was the use of slime ball.
Merriam-Webster defines the word — typically written “slimeball” — as “a morally repulsive or odious person.” The ever-dependable Urban Dictionary says it’s someone — “usually male” — who “treats one like dirt.” Ok Trump, we see where you were going with this.
But it begs the question: can he ever serve an insult like an adult? Or, are these childlike taunts the only ones he can come up with? Aside from “slime ball,” here are some more examples of Trump throwing shade like that 2nd grade bully who steals your lunch money and runs away from cooties (he is a germaphobe after all).
Shade thrown on Trump’s Twitter account 2nd-grader-style (minus slime ball, of course)
“Dummy dope”
How can a dummy dope like Harry Hurt, who wrote a failed book about me but doesn’t know me or anything about me, be on TV discussing Trump?
