President Donald Trump plans to visit the FBI Academy in Quantico in Virginia on Friday, the White House said in a statement, an appearance that comes less than two weeks after he said the agency’s reputation was “in Tatters.”

Trump has frequently criticized the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and the possible involvement of Trump’s campaign under the direction of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He said in a tweet earlier this month that under former FBI Director James Comey, who Trump fired earlier in the year, the bureau’s “reputation is in Tatters - worst in History!”

“But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness,” he said.

The White House said the president will attend a graduation ceremony at the academy.

1. I'll keep my fingers crossed

That "crazy recruit with itchy trigger finger #3" has their lunacy fulfilled while he's present. Sad that random violence would fill me with joy but if it's that or more of the trump/ryan/pai/pence show, I'll enjoy the violence.

7. Absolutely not a cool thing to say

[JackInGreen]

10. So I'm mot cool

I'm also too sick and tired to seriously entertain anything but schednfreud at their misfortune. I guess given context if it's a tragedy that ends it I'm unsympathetic, not exactly enthusiastic.

2. I hope they all turn their backs on him.

To a person. I hope he tries to speak and they walk out.

[marble falls]

3. Beat me to it, maybe they'll take a knee?

[JackInGreen]

11. We can hope at the least

[George II]

4. Will he be there at the same time that the rumored indictments are announced? Maybe....

....he's doing it to save a trip to the white house by FBI agents?

5. They need to learn how big and unprecedented his electoral victory was, like the CIA

[kairos12]

6. He will try to give the top graduate a Hero of the Soviet Union Award.

8. No one should show up (nt)

[Luciferous]

9. Well won't that be awkward

[mainer]

12. They need to stand there silent and respectful

and discreetly keep their opinions to themselves, so it won't get in the way of their doing their next big job.

Arresting him.

13. Calm down, people.

Donnie Two Scoops will probably say it was his lawyer who insulted them. Seems his lawyer gets hold of his "tweetin' machine" at times.
