Now, while George Bush was making his rounds,
there were some people who complained.
They were, like, "How can you laugh with him?
He's the worst president ever."
To which Donald Trump replied, "Hold my beer."
President Trump making a dangerous accusation
without providing proof.
TV REPORTER:
than then President Obama bugged his phones
during the election.
President Trump's stunning claim...
TV REPORTER:
Oh, (bleep)!
This is the biggest story ever!
Even bigger than last week's biggest story ever,
when the attorney general was caught lying
about his contacts with Russia!
You know, Donald Trump is the only person who thinks
the best way to distract from a scandal
is to start an even bigger scandal.
He's like, "This Jeff Sessions thing
"is getting too hot, people.
"I'm gonna pull out my (bleep) and let's see if that helps.
Let's do it, guys, let's do it."
And, you know, if you're gonna accuse a former president
of committing a major federal crime,
at least show that you have some appreciation
for the gravity of what you're doing.
You know? Call a press conference.
Instead, Trump is making these allegations
from the same place we hashtag about
REPORTER:
came just before sunrise at the private Palm Beach club
the president like to call "the winter White House."
"Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my wires tapped
in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found."
That was followed by four more presidential tweets,
taking on President Obama and misspelling "tap."
That was nicely done by the news guy.
He's just like, "And misspelling 'tap'".
Yeah, 'cause, really, how are you gonna take on
a two-term president if you can't even handle
a three-letter word?
And, by the way, because Trump is the president,
that is now officially the way we all have to spell "tap."
Yeah. The extra "P" is for "pussy."
This... You know, this whole... this whole story...
Let's be honest, this whole story is such BS.
First of all, no one needs to spy on Donald Trump.
You can just follow him on Twitter.
You don't have to guess. I wonder what he's...
Oh, there, he told us. He told us what he's doing.
And, secondly, he's a proven troll.
We're not gonna waste our lives trying to disprove
Obama birth certificate, part two.
And definitely not before the president
offers a shred of evidence.
What we will do, however,
is enjoy this tangerine roller coaster
and the ride it takes us on.
So let's start... let's start with where Trump got the idea.
The same place most bad ideas come from:
the Internet.
REPORTER:
during the campaign, the Obama administration
had him wiretapped,
but he appears to have picked up the idea
from the conservative Web site Breitbart News.
Oh, that's... that's comforting. Yeah.
The president gets his news
from a right wing conspiracy Web site.
Uh, quick question, how can you be a conspiracy theorist
when you're the president?
You're the person with the access to all the information.
People make conspiracies
because they don't know the truth,
and Trump is the guy with the truth, and still, he's like...
Like, pretty soon, Trump is gonna be covered in tinfoil
going, "The government is spying on me.
They're spying on me."
But you
"I know, it goes all the way to the top."
Like, you know... you know what's sad about this
is that just a week ago-- just a week ago, people--
the media was calling Donald Trump presidential.
Didn't he learn anything from that?
You know? The press was, like,
"Dude, you can trick us if you want. Just talk nice.
And still, he was like, "Pass.
And that's with two Ps."
As with most Trump scandals, the most fun part of the ride
is watching his people
try
Oh, and... and Sean Spicer has clearly learned his lesson,
because he didn't go out to defend Trump this time.
He sent out his deputy.
The president of the United States
is accusing the former president
of wiretapping him.
I think that this is, again, something that,
-if this happened, Martha, this would... -If, if, if, if.
He said "Just found out
that Obama had my wires tapped in Trump Tower."
That's not an "if."
(laughs) Look, I...
I-I will let the president speak for himself.
(laughter)
You know the story's bonkers when your spokesperson says,
"He can speak for himself."
Just like, "He said what?
"Man, you got to take that up with him.
I ain't getting involved in this (bleep) no more."
But, look, we-we all know you can't trust just anyone
to handle Trump's untruth bombs.
When he goes full crazy,
there's only one person with the alternative set of skills
to back him up.
How does he know that-that it... that his...
that his phone was actually tapped?
Let me answer that globally--
he's the president of the United States.
He has information and intelligence
that the rest of us do not.
You know what? Yeah, I'll-I'll agree with that.
Trump has intelligence that I definitely do not.
I agree.
Listen, people, one more time,
Trump's accusation is ridiculous and pathetic.
Even FBI Director James Comey,
A.K.A. Hillary's swagman,
he's come out and asked the Justice Department
to call Donald Trump on his lie. Even Comey.
Obama didn't tap Trump's phones.
We did.
And, honestly, the conversations we uncovered
were pretty shocking.
