It was only a matter of time.

Somehow, Donald Trump managed to restrain himself from tweeting yesterday.

Throughout James Comey's testimony -- which aimed some pretty no-nonsense barbs at the President -- Trump managed to hold himself back. It was the first full day he's gone without tweeting in a long, long time.

It was never going to last, though.

On Friday morning, Trump finally did what everyone was waiting for. He posted an angry, mildly confusing tweet about Comey.

He followed that up 45 minutes later with a thank you message to Fox for their "great reporting".

That's all for now, but we wouldn't be surprised if there's more to follow. Based on Trump's Twitter standards, he's actually been pretty restrained so far...
