It looks like Donald Trump is going to have something to say about this, so you might want to keep an eye on Twitter.

It's no secret our commander in chief isn't fond of anyone who disagrees with him, and he definitely doesn't seem to mind calling names when things don't go his way.

But now, he's getting an earful... from an 86-year-old.

J. Brien Comey, former FBI Director James Comey's father, wasn't too keen on the president referring to his son as a "nut job"and didn't hold back when sticking it to the leader of the free world.

According to the New York Daily News, the lifelong Republican said,

I was never crazy about Trump. I'm convinced that he's nuts. I thought he belonged in an institution.

Well, there's certainly no filter there. Without question, he let it all out.

Just when you think there's nothing left to say, Comey took things up a notch:

He was crazy before he became president. Now he's really crazy.

Alrighty then — nothing to be confused about here.

I guess you can't blame him for being a parent.

Believe it or not, J. Brien Comey found out about his son being fired from the newspapers. He claims he and James have a tacit agreement not to speak about his work.

"It's just a father-son relationship. We never talk about what he does. I read it in the papers," he said, according to the Daily News.

Politics is definitely a dirty game, my friends.

While yes, we can find a lot to scrutinize — and there are definitely plenty of issues to debate — we should try to remember that we do have important things to focus on, like the future of our health care how to combat sexual assault and what will happen if the president actually does get impeached.
