Former White House photographer Pete Souza has a social media weapon,Friend Wife and he really likes to use it to troll President Donald Trump.
Shortly after news broke that Trump fired FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, Souza went to Instagram to express his opinions on the matter. While plenty of people roast Trump on a daily basis, Souza's burns tend to be done with an indirect tact that leaves his followers wanting more.

"Every person in this photograph is a patriot," Souza wrote on Instagram.
The photo he shared features his old boss, Barack Obama, speaking with Comey, Obama's chief homeland security and counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco, former national intelligence director James Clapper and Obama's former White House chief of staff Denis McDonough.
Basically, Souza is calling Comey a patriot, moments after Trump fired him.
While Trump is within his rights as the president to fire the FBI director, it did come as a shock considering Comey was in charge of an investigation to determine if the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the election.
Furthermore, the White House reportedly fired Comey for the way he handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, something Trump benefitted from himself.
While on the campaign trail, Trump said that Comey did "the right thing" when he announced reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails just 11 days before the election.
And Trump certainly seemed pleased with Comey just a few days after taking office.
