The morning after he fired James Comey as the director of the FBI, President Donald Trump fired off several tweets defending his decision and criticizing Democrats for questioning the move.

Trump began the series of tweets just after 7 a.m., mixing his own thoughts with retweets of the Drudge Report.

The Democrats have said some of the worst things about James Comey, including the fact that he should be fired, but now they play so sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 10, 2017

James Comey will be replaced by someone who will do a far better job, bringing back the spirit and prestige of the FBI. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 10, 2017

Comey lost the confidence of almost everyone in Washington, Republican and Democrat alike. When things calm down, they will be thanking me! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 10, 2017

He also singled out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in a tweet late Monday night.
