Donald J. Trump has leveled a patently preposterous notion that Barack Obama “ordered” a wiretap at Trump Tower in New York City.<\/p>\n

The president wants us to believe him. He’s a truth-teller. He’s the man now. He says it’s a “fact” that the former president broke the law, committed a felony. Does this individual — Trump — have a record of believability?<\/p>\n

How about a quick review. Donald Trump has said:<\/p>\n

* Thousands of Muslims cheered<\/strong> the collapse of the Twin Towers during the 9\/11 terrorist attack. They didn’t.<\/p>\n

* President Obama was born in Kenya<\/strong> and was not qualified to serve in the office to which he was elected twice<\/em>. Another falsehood.<\/p>\n

* U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s father<\/strong> might have been complicit in the murder of President Kennedy. False.<\/p>\n

* “Millions of illegal immigrants” voted for Hillary Clinton<\/strong>, providing her with her significant popular vote plurality over Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

Must I add that at no time did the candidate-turned-president offer a shred of proof for any of the things he had uttered out loud? Yet many voters believed him. Trump “tells it like it is,” they insisted. No, he made it up. He fabricated it. He lied through his teeth.<\/p>\n

I also should remind you that when he said during his press conference three weeks ago that he scored the biggest Electoral College victory “since Ronald Reagan,” he said that it was something “I was told.” That was the defense he mounted after being challenged directly by “enemy of the people” media reps that his assertion about his electoral vote victory was patently false.<\/p>\n

With that string of prevarications and lies, we now are being told to believe this latest whopper, that Barack Obama “ordered” wiretaps.<\/p>\n

I cannot believe to this very moment that Donald John Trump was actually elected president of the United States.<\/p>\n

But he was.<\/p>\n

And no … I won’t “get over it.”<\/p>\n\n
