United States President Donald Trump has been in a lot of controversies, in fact, he has been known to be the most controversial United States President of all time. Even before he won the presidency, his campaign and beliefs were the targets of controversies. One of them is by having the plans of building a wall all over the Mexican-American boarders and he even mentioned how Mexico should be the one to pay for it. A couple of times he had changed his mind and said that it was the Americans who must spend the money to build the wall.
The most recent report regarding the said wall was when he sent national security to guard the wall and is urging the Pentagon to pay for it. Another controversy was when he made an announcement that the US will be withdrawing from the Paris Climate Change Deal, which was signed by former president Barack Obama. Trump said that the deal wouldn’t be beneficial to the country, but may think about re-joining of the terms were changed in their favor. The president is also known to be a huge supporter of the National Rifle Association, which is currently the center of controversy because of the mass shooting incidents the past couple of months. Trump is said to be returning the support towards the NRA because of how much the association has spent just to support him during the presidential elections in 2016.
However, the most controversial news about the president was when former FBI director, revealed a couple of things about the president that kind of surprised most people, here are the major things that happened.
I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His “memos” are self serving and FAKE!

What Went Down With Trump and Comey
It apparently started when Trump said that Comey asked for a dinner with him in January 2017 at the White House, to ask if he could have his position as FBI director be retained now that Trump is president. Comey then said that this was a lie since it was Trump who was asking him to be his FBI director.
He even mentioned how the only reason why the president had to lie about this is that he didn’t personally pledge his loyalty to him. The president then said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being loyal to him as the president since it would mean that he is being loyal to his own country. Although he denied that he asked Comey that question.
My book is about ethical leadership & draws on stories from my life & lessons I learned from others. 3 presidents are in my book: 2 help illustrate the values at the heart of ethical leadership; 1 serves as a counterpoint. I hope folks read the whole thing and find it useful.

This then went on and on until the former FBI director said that the president has asked him to get rid of the rumors regarding his scandalous 2013 Moscow trip, but Comey revealed that the president has indeed gene involved in “something” while he was in Russia for the Miss Universe pageant. Trump then denies these claims, but the flight records that were obtained by Bloomberg says a different story.
Slippery James Comey, a man who always ends up badly and out of whack (he is not smart!), will go down as the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!

Flight Details To Russia Revealed
Comey said that Trump asked him to investigate the issue and prove that it was a lie. The claim said that Trump spent more than just one night but the president said that he actually arrived in the morning, attended the events for the rest of the day, went to the event that night and then left that same night.
Then again, according to the records that Bloomberg got, Trump actually stayed a few days in Moscow. He attended the party of the pageant host Aras Agalarov, then he spent a few hours at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, wherein he got the videos of prostitutes urinating. Comey said that Trump actually ordered him to deny all of these rumors and make them seem as if it was all a lie. This was even explained in Comey’s memoir that he released not too long ago.
Trump then posted tons of tweets regarding the memoir and said that Comey is a huge lair and even described him to be the “worst FBI director in history”. Comey also said that Trump is like a Mafia leader since he expects people to be loyal to him so that they wouldn’t reveal his deepest darkest secrets. Fail to do so and they will be removed from office, just like what is said to have happened to some White House officials.
