For the former FBI director, whose new book “FDR Drive” is out this month, life is getting stranger than fiction

“Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey, whom President Trump fired for gross incompetence and unfitness for the role, suffers from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields said to The Caller.

To be "86'ed" is slang for "to be thrown out" or "get rid of," leading many Trump allies to see Comey's post as a direct threat against Trump's life.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey had another anti-Trump seashell moment prior to Thursday's controversial Instagram post that critics have alleged was 'a hit' against President Trump.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary traces “86” to “1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.”
