This is a question for everyone, that needs to be answered HONESTLY. Regardless of your political ideology or who you voted for.
This is regarding Trump's tweet accusation that Obama had wiretapped the Trump Tower.
1. Trump tweeted out several comments about Barack Obama wiretapping the Trump Tower. The house gave him a week to PROVE that it actually happened.
2. FBI director Comey was incited by this accusation and demanded that the DOJ deny this accusation.
3. Both leaders of the intelligence committee in the Senate and the House state there is no evidence that the Trump tower was wiretapped.
4. Now Trump and Sean Spicer, his White House Press Secretary are backtracking stating that since he put "wiretapping" in quotes it really meant survellance. Of course wiretapping has a very specific definition in the Meridan Webster dictionary. (to mean tapping of phones and or telegraph to get information)

It got very heated during the White House Press briefing today 3/16/2017 between Spicer & Acosta over this matter. Acosta accused Spicer of quoting "Sean Hannity" Trump's mouthpiece, and again we see Spicer desperately trying to twist and turn and wrap Trump's own words around being the media's fault in this country.
I know that this nation is very used to Trump saying things that are not to be taken literally. However, this one puts a former President in danger, which has caused a serious reaction by both parties. If a nutcase can walk into a Pizza Place in New York City loaded to the hilt--because he believed Hillary Clinton was running a child sex operation out of there, some nutcase could believe Trump's story also, and take action against the former President.

We saw this political board go wild over this accusation. Trump supporters were outraged that Obama had wiretapped the Trump Tower. So Trump supporters clearly believed it.
We have always expected our Presidents to speak clearly with their words. They went to great efforts to make certain that the meaning of those words were clear and that we understood them. They didn't try to redefine words to make them mean something else other than what they were.
