He specifically said PHONE TAP.

14 hours later and still no response from his staff. That says a lot.

And this has exactly what to do with the current president accusing the former president of a crime, with absolutely no proof, as well as reffering to him as "sick"???

Proof or no proof, he heard something from someone that raised some alarm bells about unauthorized surveillance and I guess it freaked him out. *points to last few posts in regards to the NSA, etc.*

I'm not being an apologist in this case...I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if his accusations turned out to be true based on a variety of things that we've been seeing over the last decade.

President of the United States. Comander in Chief. Leader of the Free World.

I guess if I respected the presidency I would be upset too, but here we are and I just think it distracts from things that actually matter.

It's not about you. Try thinking about the big picture.

Because of the chair he sits in, everything he says and does resonates with millions of people ALL OVER THE WORLD.

- His alt-right rabid followers are feeling even more empowered which is scary.
- Those who voted for him at the last second are suffering major buyers remorse.
- Our allies are freaking out, wondering what the idiot is going to do next.
- His cabinet is in disarray. The infighting and leaks are dangerous to the country's stability.
- Our enemies are ****ing dancing around fires naked and drunk with glee.
- Russia.

The joke is over. He's the president. At what point will he begin acting presidential - in the best interest of the US, and the world at large? He had about 10 hours of legitimacy after his address on Tuesday, which has already been long forgotten.

Current story is that's he FURIOUS with his advisors for letting Sessions recluse himself, and stealing his Tuesday thunder. Word is that there's been more expletives spouted by a president in the last 24 hours than in the previous 16 years.

Distracting from things that actually matter? Definitely. How presidential. Meanwhile this **** matters to a hell of a lot of people on this orb - regardless of your apathy.

Ja see you clearly respect the chair way more than I do.

Freaking out and blubbering about the dumbest things possible doesn't help anything. This **** is a two way street.

As for the Donald saying he was being spied on by Obama and his administration during his campaign, it wouldn't surprise me. Whether it was deliberate or not is up for debate, but we are all being watched by our government. It's unconstitutional and has been admitted by our former president that we are all being watched. Mass surveillance is no longer a secret and is a huge money pit that doesn't even help our nations security. **** the NSA.
This is so funny considering your avatar!
