"Wow, FBI confirms report that James Comey drafted letter exonerating Crooked Hillary Clinton long before investigation was complete. Many people not interviewed, including Clinton herself."

Trump then accused Comey of perjury, and asked why the DOJ has not addressed this yet: "Comey stated under oath that he didn't do this-obviously a fix? Where is Justice Dept?"

Trump also accused Comey of lying and leaking to protect Clinton. "He was the best thing that ever happened to her!"

As it has turned out, James Comey lied and leaked and totally protected Hillary Clinton. He was the best thing that ever happened to her!

On Monday, the FBI posted a document revealing Comey began drafting a letter in July of 2016 in which he did not recommend charges against Clinton. FBI official James Rybicki in mid-May requested in an unclassified email that officials "send any comments on this statement so we may roll it into a master doc for discussion with the Director at a future date." Comey would make his announcement roughly two months later, criticizing Clinton for being "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."

Trump also took aim at Senate Democrats, and Republicans, urging "all Senate Republicans" to vote for "the largest Tax Cuts in U.S. history."

The Democrats will only vote for Tax Increases. Hopefully, all Senate Republicans will vote for the largest Tax Cuts in U.S. history.

Speaking on Monday at the White House Rose Garden, Trump said “If we get it done, that’s a great achievement,” while standing next to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “But don’t forget it took years for the Reagan administration to get taxes done. I’ve been here for nine months, a little more than nine months.” Despite the president's efforts, the only 52 percent of Americans in a new CNN poll say they oppose the president's tax reform plan, while only 34 percent say they support it. Trump is set to meet with the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday to discuss tax reform efforts.

Trump then moved on to the NFL, which he ripped for its decision to allow players to kneel during the national anthem, saying it shows "total disrespect for our great country!"

"The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!" the president said in a tweet.
