Donald Trump has stated that he keeps hearing people say "this and that." What the hell? He's the POTUS! The information he should be relying upon is the information coming from within his Administration, not what he reads in the paper and sees on television. The POTUS has access to the best information in the world and he instructs Congress to find the facts that support his claims about wiretapping, claims he based on what he read in a frigging newspaper or saw on television! WFT?
The U.S. has a soap opera/reality TV show for a Presidency! Trump himself is the source of the drama! The man has turned the White House and the U.S. government into a comedy of errors. He's turned governance into a
Sisyphean myth played out live before us every day.
Trump's presidency and Administration looks like something straight out out of the scripts of
Dallas or
Dynasty. The man is putting
All My Children, Days of Our Lives and
General Hospital out of business.
You should never take Trump literally. His supporters and staff don't. When he tweeted,
"Terrible!" "Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"
This means, Obama did something terrible. You have to know how to interpret Trump brain farts.



The notion that one cannot take a grown man's words, let alone the POTUS', for what they are is utter childishness. That's what one must do with minors because one knows they likely have no real idea of what they are talking about and they haven't the experience as adults to make clear statements to express their thoughts and they don't know what to say and what not to say and how to say it so it's received in the correct context and with the appropriate literal meaning.
Trump tweeted that mess two weeks ago this coming Saturday and only yesterday himself stated what was literally on his mind when he tweeted it...And then, what he said was that he based his tweet on stuff he'd seen in newspapers, websites and television! So that his tweet couldn't be taken literally is irrelevant.
The fact is that if the man had heard such things and was inclined to believe them, his first move, were he a mature and responsible man of high character and intellect, should have been to call (or have his CoS call) any of several department/cabinet leads to find out if there was any real truth to what he'd seen on TV or wherever. Did he do that? No. He just spat off at the mouth and tweeted his unfounded accusation as though he has diarrhea of the mind, making the accusation some four or more times on Twitter. So don't even try making some puerile excuse derived around this crap about not taking a grown man, a POTUS, literally.
Be that as it is, the tweet is just the start. The bigger problem is that after over a week of people from the general public to the media to members of Congress asking exactly the he meant, asking on what basis did he accuse a former President of having committed a felony, Trump didn't respond with a clarification that identified what literally he meant. His actions were every bit in effect those of a child retreating into himself once he's been caught doing something he should not have. And then as if that wasn't bad enough, the man lied and had his WH staff swearing to it, and they exhibited the turpitude of doing just that.
