Mercer: The Donald Vs. The ‘Deep State'
[Townhall] President Trump has credibly accused Obama of wire-tapping the Trump Tower phones during the 2016 campaign.Whether the tapping of Trump Tower phones can be traced to Obama; whether it's true or false--consider the counter-accusations floated by President Donald Trump about Barack Obama as part of a strategy. The president is in survival mode. He's backed into a corner and is fighting back with brio, counter-punching at the Machine intent on unseating him. The Donald is destabilizing the destabilizers. The opinion makers were incensed. "He had no evidence when he smeared his predecessor. Just contemplate the recklessness--the sheer indifference to truth," yelped the New York Times. "The administration can't substantiate the wire-tapping claim," screeched the MSNBC collective. On CNN it's been incontinent outrage, every hour of each day, since president Trump shot across the bow at Obama. Marching in lockstep, media have ruled that Trump's wire-tapping taunt is unworthy of investigation. At the same time, the RussiaGate conspiracy with which media are hobbling the Trump presidency, and for which no credible proof exists--that's beyond reproach as a news story. Fake News' fantastical idée fixe is that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to rob their "beloved" Hillary Clinton of her presidential birthright. To them, that's what you'd call a perfectly legitimate and logical line of inquiry! Posted by: Besoeker 2017-03-09 |
