Trump trolled the media to cover Obamagate

Don Surber: (read the whole thing)

One month ago today, President Trump tweeted, "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!"

I read the tweet, finished my coffee, and an hour later explained to my readers exactly what Trump did.

Hate to say I told you so. But I did.

Oh whom am I kidding? I love saying I told you so.

From that first post -- "Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower" -- forward, I have offered mine observations on Obamagate.

And I told you so.

From that first post:

President Trump offered no "proof," which should fake the Fake News media into jumping all over him. Then, when the Trump-is-crazy calls reach a peak, boom, out comes the proof that Obama indeed used the power of his office to spy on a political opponent.

Like clockwork, the media hopped on the story, portraying President Trump as a madman.

They called him a fool.

From the Washington Post:
Trump, citing no evidence, accuses Obama of ‘Nixon/Watergate’ plot to wiretap Trump Tower
From the New York Times:
Trump, Offering No Evidence, Says Obama Tapped His Phones
From the Hill:
Dems tear into Trump over Obama wiretapping claims
From the Hill:
Top Obama adviser to Trump: 'No president can order a wiretap'
From the Washington Post:
Donald Trump was a conspiracy-theory candidate. Now he's on the edge of being a conspiracy-theory president.
President Trump is crazy.

Like a fox.

See if I am not right.

The night before his tweet, CNN's spy camera caught Trump acting angry in the Oval Office. The media portrayed this as anger over the Fake News about Trump being Russia's puppet.....

Bottom line:

They never learn. They will fall for the errant tweet -- the well-timed gaffe -- again and again because the people in the media are not very bright.

This is not Eighth Dimensional Chess in Outer Space Underwater with Sharks.

This is Tic Tac Toe.

And he is letting them go first.

Still they lose because after all these years they refuse to accept that Donald Trump -- a mere billionaire -- is smarter than them.
