UPDATE: Obama spokesperson responds to Trump wiretap accusations
Just a few days after America’s more forgiving souls suggested that President Donald Trump was finally settling into his “presidential” shoes—because he managed to give a simple speech to Congress without calling any of his opponents ugly, or demanding dissenters be dragged out of the crowd by force—America woke up today to the news that Trump had suffered another one of his Obama nightmares overnight. Unlike last time, when Trump simply accused his predecessor of organizing all those paid protesters to come stand outside his office—or on city streets in the millions across the nation—and yell at him, Trump’s accusations against his personal White House boogeyman were now centered on the idea that Obama had ordered the tapping of Trump Tower phones in the run-up to the election.
