Well yes he has fired him which is his right.
But the main point is that the President cannot expect 'loyalty' above an FBI agent's oath to the Constitution.

But he can expect to work with someone who he can trust rather than a saboteur who is more loyal to John McCain than the constitution. We do not know where peoples real loyalties are and if the President felt that Comey's loyalties lay elswhere then he had to go. What we are seeing now is a pointless circus side show starring Comey the human snake.
He was offered honesty, but not the loyalty that could potentially ( in the worst case ) conflict with his oath.

The FBI uphold and are loyal to the Constitution not the President - otherwise how could they ever investigate any alleged wrongdoings? No President can or should ask for loyalty above this as it is not something the FBI are able to provide .

Ask Hillary Clinton, feds wouldn't look nor speak to Come(d)y after the email fiasco - he splintered the FBI from within and had to go.

Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) getting Comey on the record. Comey says Trump did not pressure him to drop Russian investigation. That's big.

On at least one point near to his heart, Mr. Trump will perhaps be compelled to acknowledge his grudging respect: For a deposed federal employee, Mr. Comey will probably get good TV ratings.

He didn't feel the need to write memos with Bush or Obama 
Comey trusted Bush, this tells me all I need to know

There isn't a private session 
Comey says all his aides agreed there was no investigation of President Trump himself and he told Trump that.

For some reason, some people just love to show off how stupid they are. It's bizarre.
