Donald J. Trump is now waging open warfare against the media, the FBI, his immediate predecessor, congressional Democrats and now quite possibly a growing number of congressional Republicans<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I wonder who and\/or what is next for this president.<\/p>\n

He has accused former President Obama of breaking the law<\/em> by ordering a wiretap of Trump Tower. FBI Director James Comey reportedly has stated he is “incredulous” at what Trump has alleged. Congressional Democrats are livid and they want heads to roll. Congressional Republicans are more tepid in their response, but are suggesting they have “seen no evidence” of an illegal wiretap.<\/p>\n

The media? They merely are reporting all of this.<\/p>\n

Trump ignores analysis by his national security and intelligence team and is relying on “news” coming from right-wing outlets such as Breitbart. com and a bevy of radio talk-show hosts whose\u00a0self-proclaimed mission is to discredit a president\u00a0— Barack Obama — who they detest.<\/p>\n

The danger of Trump’s mindless blathering is beginning to frighten a lot of observers in this country and perhaps beyond our borders.<\/p>\n

This all takes me back to the campaign we’ve just endured.<\/p>\n

Weren’t there warnings issued by folks who questioned the temperament and fitness of the man who would be elected president? Didn’t these critics tell us that Trump was not capable of managing his own narrative, let alone crafting an agenda that would govern the greatest nation on Earth?<\/p>\n

We are witnessing a remarkable coming apart of a still-young presidency. The president himself is dismantling his administration with this ridiculous assertion that Barack Obama has broken the law, which stipulates that the president cannot “order” a wiretap.<\/p>\n

No proof has come forward. No evidence has been presented. This allegation is as specious as the many other lies he has told ever since he declared his presidential candidacy.<\/p>\n

The birther baloney, the Muslims cheering the fall of the Twin Towers on 9\/11, the illegal immigrants voting for Hillary Clinton … all of them and more! They are lies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As for Obama — who’s now officially a “private citizen” — the thought occurs to me: Does he have grounds to sue his successor for slander, for defamation? Would he take this clown to court?<\/p>\n\n
