After the latest and “greatest” Donald J. Trump tweet-storm — this time regarding his immediate predecessor as president of the United States — I am compelled to ask a simple question.
Can someone explain to me as if I’m a 5-year-old why in the name of all that is holy did 62 million Americans vote for Trump as president?
Trump now says Barack Obama wiretapped the new president’s offices at Trump Tower in New York. He once again offered no evidence. No proof. Nothing to substantiate a single idiotic word he sent out via Twitter.
What’s more, then we get U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican — and former GOP presidential opponent of Trump, saying he is “worried” about the president’s moronic accusation.
What the hell does that mean, senator? Worried? About what?
I can’t tell if he’s worried that the president would resort to such idiocy or he’s worried that there might be something to what he has alleged.
“Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” Trump said in one of his tweets.
President Obama, of course, has denied any such thing ever occurred.
At issue, in case you’ve forgotten, is whether the Trump campaign had any improper or illegal contact with Russian government officials during the campaign or immediately afterward — and before Trump took office. Did they talk about the sanctions that the Obama administration had leveled against the Russians because 17 U.S. intelligence agencies believe they sought to influence the outcome of the election?
Trump now has flipped his beanie. His butter has slipped off his noodles.
Some of us out here warned about Trump’s temperament, his judgment, his fitness for the job he won. The very idea that the president of the United States would launch this Twitter tirade and accuse his predecessor of breaking the law is — all by itself — enough to disqualify this individual from holding any public office.
Then again, I thought so way back when he said Sen. John McCain was a “war hero only because he was captured” by the North Vietnamese and beaten to within an inch of his life while being held captive during the Vietnam War.
My question still stands: How did this clown win a presidential election?
I ask the same question over and over. Only answer I have is that we are intrigued by conspiracy theories. Many still believe that President Obama was horrible and think he was a Muslim and not born in the US. We hired a guy with No experience and no understanding of civics or the constitution. Would he have hired an enthusiastic janitor who said he had all the answers to be CEO of his company. Hell no. But that is what we did. And now we will pay and pay. The fiscally conservative Republicans are not even going to be able to count the number of 0’s added to our debt not to mention the cost of lives and freedoms.
“Yes!” to all you have said. Thanks for your comments.
