Former FBI Director James Comey said President Donald Trump appears to be "losing it" following a series of late-night Truth Social posts [1].
The comments highlight a deepening rift between the former law enforcement chief and the U.S. president, suggesting that the leader's public behavior has deviated from presidential norms [1, 3].
During an interview with CNN, Comey addressed the erratic nature of the president's recent social media activity [1, 4]. He said the frequency and timing of the posts indicate a troubling mental state [1, 3].
"You seem nuts, buddy," Comey said [1].
Comey said the president's focus on him remains a recurring theme. "The guy is not okay… for some reason I'm burrowed into his head," Comey said [1].
The exchange comes amid a volatile relationship between the two men. Comey said he was indicted for a second time [1] by the Justice Department under the Trump administration.
Throughout the interview, Comey said the late-night posting sprees were not merely political maneuvers but signs of instability [1, 3]. He said the behavior represents a departure from the expected conduct of a head of state [1, 3].
“"You seem nuts, buddy"”
This interaction underscores the persistent personal animosity between James Comey and Donald Trump, which has transitioned from professional disputes over FBI conduct to public critiques of the president's mental fitness. The mention of a second indictment suggests a continuing legal battle between the former FBI director and the executive branch's legal apparatus.
