‘Outright personality breakdown in public view’: Internet blasts Trump for ‘tapped phones’ Twitter meltdown

President Donald Trump’s explosive series of tweets Saturday morning, accusing ex-President Barack Obama of having the phones at Trump Tower “tapped” prior to the election, had Twitter abuzz with concerns about his state of mind — among other things.

Early Saturday morning Trump made the startling accusations, possibly after being alerted to a Breitbart article suggesting former President Obama was conducting a “silent coup” against his administration.

Trump went on to state, “I’d bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!” leading many to assert that Trump has now opened the door to a complete investigation into his administration’s pre-election involvement with the Russians.

Others suggested that Trump is collapsing into paranoia in public view, with some also pointing out that that media claims that Trump’s speech where he “pivoted” to being more “presidential” are once again moot.

1. Tiptoeing toward Howard Hughes territory, because he's at most about 5 full footsteps away.

"a good lawyer"??? Uh you don't know one? I know Roy Cohn is gone but you don't have one good lawyer around? How would he characterize the person he nominated for Attorney General?

2. Such paranoia doesn't belong in the Oval Office.

He's losing it.

3. Given the level of collusion between Trump campaign and Russians

before the election, it is likely that the FBI went to the FISA court to tap the phone lines of Trump's associates including his son-in-law.

Did Obama order it... probably not given the extraordinary effort Obama went tiptoeing around the issue of Russian interference before the vote.

4. What makes him so sure it was Obama?

Maybe it was Jake Tapper.

5. Putin needs to do an intervention

on this guy.

6. I think he means that Obama tap danced on his phones.

7. Every day,

every day it's something jaw dropping ignorant BS vomited out by a cretin that knows nothing about, well nothing.

This dumb ass doesn't understand that President Obama isn't the one that asks for the FISA court to sign off on a warrant or a wire tap.

Even thought Donnie Rhea spells it 'tapp', President Obama doesn't order these things Dumbass Donnie.

8. I'd be worried about Putin

What do crime bosses do when their assets become liabilities?

9. Did anyone determine if there was a legal warrant involved in the Weiner tapping?

10. Chitolini May Be Going Off The Deep End

He is an unstable flake to begin with and under increasing pressure he may be losing whatever small grip on reality he ever had.

You would maybe think that non foaming at the mouth Chitolini voters are increasingly feeling serious buyers remorse.

President Pence would scare me too, a religious freak, a true believer that humans frolicked with Dinosaurs 6000 years ago because that was the beginning of the Universe. Provably wrong but you will never convince these folks, they are delusional.

14. Trump is as much a liar as he is ignorant of the law

‘Later in the morning, Obama's former deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, used Twitter to challenge Trump's claims.

"No president can order a wiretap," Rhodes, who continues to serve as a foreign-policy adviser to Obama post-presidency, said in one tweet. "Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you."

In response to Trump's suggestion that a good lawyer could make the case that Obama tapped his phones, Rhodes tweeted, "No. They couldn't. Only a liar could do that."’

And the American people indeed need to be protected from the likes of Trump.

15. Sometimes things don't go better with coke.

The question now is whether or not Trump should be pardoned.
