Trump offers muddled non-answer to how he knew Obama was wiretapping him
Hey, I do want to remind you that the president is a Moron and I know you might hear me say this and say David
What what are you talking about what?
I mean is this we've been doing many policy critiques of trump and
Republicans the travel ban number one the travel ban number two the plan to build the wall the obamacare
replacement trade policy the Budget on
And on and on it's important to prevent the normalization of the political status quo under trunk
Which is that the president is a truly uninformed Moron?
There's really no other way to say it people aren't going to like me saying this and to carry out this reminder
I've done this before people seem to like it to really see the absurdity and stupidity of what trump says
It's sometimes useful not only to hear him say it, but actually to read it, so let's dig into just one example
Let's Dig into he was asked by Tucker Carlson during a recent fox news interview to explain the whole
Wiretapping thing okay. Let's first watch and listen to the clip and
We'll give our initial impressions, so on March for six Thirty five in the morning
You're down in Florida, and you tweet the former administration wiretap me surveilled me at trump Tower during the last election
How did you find out? He said? I just found out. I don't learn that I've been reading about things
I read in I think it was January twentieth a new york times article where they were talking about wiretapping
There was an article. I think they used that exact term I read other things. I watched your friend brett there
the day previous where he was talking about
certain very complex sets of things happening and
Wiretapping I should swim it
There's a lot of wiretapping being talked about I've been seeing a lot of things now for the most part. I'm not going to just
because we have it before the committee and
We will be submitting things before the committee very soon that hasn't [been] submitted as of yet
But it's potentially a very serious situation. I want to show you how truly moronic this non responses, okay pat
Let's put it up on the screen, and this is really the only way to figure out
absolutely, how
Absurd this is okay again the question was Tucker Carlson asked
How did you find out about the alleged wiretapping let's break this apart piece by piece quote well
I've [been] reading about things
I read in I think it was
January Twentieth a New York times article where they were talking about wiretapping okay number one
He says the New York times is not trustworthy and failing now
He's saying the New York Times is
his source for wiretapping of course the New York times article didn't say that trump was wiretapped from continues ah
There was an article. [I] think they use that term uh I read other things
Okay, that that's not a source
I watched your friend
Brett Baier the day previous where he was talking [about] a certain very
complex sets of things happening and wiretapping
I said you know there's a lot of wiretapping being talked about I've
been seeing a lot of things now for the most part
I'm not going to discuss them because we have it before the committee and we will be submitting things
Before the committee very soon
that hasn't been submitted as of yet, but
It's potentially a very serious situation
That that's not an answer
There's no answer there when Tucker Carlson says, how did you find out about allegations that you had been wiretapped?
There is not an answer there
It's always really funny when you take trump quotes
And you type them out like that and put it on the screen
Yeah, because he at least has this talent of wouldn't no matter how ridiculous what he's saying is yeah
He can at least say with confidence
If there he knows what he's talking about yeah, but if you remove all of that and just see the plain text there
It's clear he has no idea. What's completely abortive yet
So he's saying he frequently heard the term wiretapping used on TV
And thus tweeted Obama wiretapped him that's what trump is saying that's what he's saying
