Logically Speaking...

I have a hard time arguing my feelings because I find it difficult to speak logically when people are being awful.  But I'm going to try to in this case, because either I'm really not understanding something or our President is an idiot.  I've never been one to say that I know everything, but I'm leaning pretty sharply on the latter.

Now I know our government over the last few months has made multiple ill-advised, inappropriate and rash decisions on everything from appointees to passing bills.  This news cycle has had its fill of these calls.  Basically, the only business that's booming right now are the late night hosts that are being paid to make jokes about this administration.  And thank goodness for them, because if we weren't laughing, we'd definitely be crying.

I've disagreed with every single thing that's ever come out of President Trump's mouth.  I personally think he's a disgrace to humanity and a laughing-stock. Yet, I understand what he thinks he's doing most of the time.  He hardly ever succeeds at it, but you can at least try to see the start of a thought - before it ultimately loses its thread from his brain to his mouth. But today, I'm having a hard time understanding any sort of logic behind firing FBI Director Comey.  What does this gain?  

By firing him, Trump has put himself on Comey's bad side.  And based on tons of intel, Comey seems to know a lot about what's been going on in the White House.  So, exactly why would President Trump give Director Comey a reason to spout off all of his information to a possible special prosecutor or a senate committee?  Wouldn't it be better to let Comey keep his job and keep him happy? I'm just not understanding the reasoning.

But, in today's world, I'm getting pretty used to that...
