T-Rump was on the rampage
again this week.
He has still refused to
admit that he lied to the American people when he falsely accused President
Barrack Obama of illegally wiretapping his office building. During his joint press
conference with Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, when he was asked a
question about the fabricated charges he had leveled against Obama, he attempted
to pull her into his lie. He suggested in a joking manner, that he and the
German Chancellor had both been the subject of wiretaps by the Obama
administration.
Angela Merkel looked at
him like he was crazy.
She did not respond to
his repugnant remarks in any way.
T-Rump’s staff could be
heard laughing loudly in the background. All American’s of good conscious were
hanging their heads in shame.
Sean Spicer, the White House
Press Secretary, suggested that the reason that none of our intelligence
services, law enforcement agencies, or the Justice department could not provide
evidence of the wiretapping, was because Obama had the illegal activity
conducted through his allies in the British Intelligence service.
Sean Spicer cited an
interview on Fox News as his source of that information.
Within twenty-four hours
he, along with the director of national intelligence, were walking those
comments back. Great Britain, categorically denied the claims. Fox news
distanced themselves from the commentator who made them, and Donald Trump was
not taking any responsibility for the egregious error.
He said so in his press
conference, no apology was made, his spokesman was not speaking for him, and
Fox news was to blame.
Meanwhile, during the
course of the week, the Congressional Budget office came out with their scoring
of the T-Rump health care plan; twenty-four million people would lose their
coverage, eighteen million in the first year; premiums would go up for the low
income and the elderly, and the wealthy would receive massive tax breaks.
So much for his campaign
promises to expand coverage and make insurance more affordable.
T-Rump is a fraud and a
liar, a fraud and a liar is he, a Russian pawn, a crook and a thief.
