Donald Trump mercilessly mocked on Twitter over James Comey 'pee tape' claims
President Donald Trump went on yet another early-morning Twitter rampage today, this time targeting James Comey. The former FBI director was fired by the president last year and on Sunday will give his first interview since leaving the Trump administration.
Comey sat down with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos for five hours leading up to the release of his highly anticipated tell-all book, A Higher Loyalty. There’s a lot to be gleaned from the interview, including his private meetings with Trump and the possibility of collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. ABC News released a promo this morning on a different subject, however: the alleged Trump pee tape.
Ex-FBI Director James Comey: “I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don’t know whether the current President of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013. It’s possible, but I don’t know” https://t.co/x2m2Uar0yR pic.twitter.com/RzbnP17dSG

Comey said the president asked him to investigate the report to prove it wasn’t real, for Melania Trump’s sake. This obviously angered Trump, who started a name-calling battle on Twitter after the promo’s release.
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!

Although we still have days to wait before the full interview is released, Twitter wasted no time in posting jokes about Trump and the infamous pee tape.
I feel like Netflix will buy the pee tape

My prediction: The #PeeTape is actually a secret CLOVERFIELD movie. Prove me wrong, @bad_robot.

Melania told Donald Trump “If the pee tape is real…urine a lot of trouble!”
I’ll be here all night.

The funniest thing about Trump asking Comey to investigate the pee tape for "Melania's sake" is the idea that anyone would believe he gives a shit about his wife
