President Trump speaks during a dinner with governors to discuss border security at the White House on May 21. In President Trump’s telling, which can often be more imaginary than real, he is a victim — a long-suffering, tormented victim. “Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC,” Trump tweeted Wednesday. “We should have been told that Comey and the boys were doing a number on him, and he wouldn’t have been hired,” Trump tweeted, referencing former FBI director James B. Comey. Such complaints are part of Trump’s overall strategy to discredit the Russia investigation by portraying special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and his team of prosecutors as partisan operatives determined to destroy his presidency.
