OOPS: James Comey tried quote-trolling Trump’s Florida speech and it didn’t go so well
President Trump’s speech in Florida last night was followed by a tweet from James Comey. The ex-FBI director who was fired by Trump has a penchant for using famous quotes to subtweet Trump and others. Here was Comey’s quote offering after Trump’s Florida rally:
“Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.” – Edmund Burke (1730-1797)

Take that, Trump! Or maybe not:
This quotation was actually not from Burke, but from Charles Caleb Colton. https://t.co/oj0yq26fE7 https://t.co/Oj0L8UELpW

President @realDonaldTrump is living rent free in someone's head.
Jim also misattributed Colton's quote to Burke https://t.co/zDAUgZTjV4— Sandy (@RightGlockMom) December 9, 2017
