Trump is incredibly ‘p*ssed off’ no one believes his Obama ‘wiretaps’ story, says adviser



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/trump-is-incredibly-pssed-off-no-one-believes-his-obama-wiretaps-story-says-adviser/

TheHill.com reported that Newsmax.com CEO Christopher Ruddy published an essay on Sunday attacking Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) and praising his boss’ performance through a week rocked by major revelations regarding Trump and his staff’s communications with agents of the Russian government during the 2016 campaign and White House transition.

“I’ve been watching Chuck Todd’s ‘Meet the Press’ as I write this. There is actually little talk about this unprecedented wire-tapping and even less worry over it,” wrote Ruddy.

On Sunday morning, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told “Meet the Press” emphatically that the wiretapping does not exist. It never happened, he said, “There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign.”

Ruddy said, “I spoke with the President twice yesterday about the wiretap story. I haven’t seen him this p*ssed off in a long time. When I mentioned Obama ‘denials’ about the wiretaps, he shot back: ‘This will be investigated, it will all come out. I will be proven right.’”

7. So everyone is supposed to go along with his lies?

Fuck that paranoid Orange Cheeto...

10. Apparently

He really thinks this is his real estate business

Yeh fuck him

[dchill]

31. More like an infomercial for the latest ...

Miracle No-Stick Frying Pan. Of course, it's really thin and warpy. And, of course, everything sticks to it.

But EVERYONE should CALL NOW! Free Trump Steaks for the first 1.5 million callers!

42. Are we following this line of thinking?

Comey asks the DOJ to reject Trumpy's wiretapping claim.

This is bizarre on its face. How is it in Comey's best interests to contact the DOJ and request that they reject Trumpy's claim?

That the DOJ REFUSED to reject the claim can mean a couple of things.

1. The investigation conducted by factions of the FBI are counterintelligence concerns that will NOT be discussed by anyone.
2. There WAS or IS a wiretapping warrant in effect, and that it was a counterintelligence concern, which means that even Comey may not know what's happening.
3. Comey knows that Trumpy's phones and other communications devices were/are tapped, but is providing cover for the DOJ by getting them to refuse to comment.
4. However this bends out, none of it gives Trumpy the satisfaction he thinks he deserves. No one gives him credibility. He's being hung out to dry.

47. Thank you for all those scenarios I hadn't thought of,

It's totally bizarre including Comey.. hopefully we'll get to learn what all is going on behind the scenes someday.. soon.

9. Maybe the shithead needs to as Mark Levin where he got the story

That's where the investigation needs to start, Dumbass.

28. Obama listening to 45's conversations

Just joking!!!!

[ohheckyeah]

46. LOL that's great.

[Cha]

12. So shit head is making up the whole thing?

[dchill]

34. I'm sure he's willing himself to believe something...

That longtime loon Mark Levin pulled out of his ass, which longtime bull-sheet Breitbart "published." It's the only place Trump can find something that feeds his paranoid mind-history.

And it pisses him off that everyone else can't see the stark, brilliant truth of it.

[Cha]

37. Thanks for that, dchill.. It's so unreal

55. It was always said PBO plays 3D chess...

When He told us we'd be alright, he wasn't lying...

[heaven05]

14. sound like hitler

at the end of WW2 and all his imaginary armies he was moving around to counter the armies facing him on two fronts. This boy-potus is getting seriously dangerous in a mentally ill/deranged sort of way.

[neeksgeek]

17. Yes that's what I'm thinking too.

Hopefully we get him out before he gets to play general.

[Kber]

20. Meth can do that to a person

[dchill]

36. I honestly think it's Ritalin.

Or Adderal. Either way, ground up and snorted, it's a lot like meth - or cocaine. Also produces the runny nose sniffing effect that some claim to have observed. Wink.

[CitizenZero]

29. Like Hitler In His Bunker

You are exactly right. Trump's paranoia is reminiscent of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin. The type of personality that is drawn to authoritarianism tends to be insecure and paranoid. Such people are always dangerous, especially when their back is up against the wall and their "authority" is threatened or challenged.

It is clear that Trump is not fully in touch with reality. His Twitter account is exhibit A. I think that we are lucky that Trump still uses Twitter. It shows how unhinged he really is, and how no one is really in control at the White House. The incompetence level in the Trump White House is so high that it is a clear and present danger to our National Security. They need to be thrown out of office. 2018 and 2020 should be days of reckoning for these Anti-American Clowns.

Impeach, Oppose, Resist.

[Ilsa]

58. That's why I have never advocated for

the twitter account to be shut down. It is evidence of his paranoid irrational thinking.

[heaven05]

59. yep

[sammythecat]

32. That is exactly what

first came to mind when I read this. "seriously dangerous in a mentally ill/deranged sort of way" is a great description. He really sounds kinda nuts.

[klook]

62. An early example of Fake News

[Stinky The Clown]

15. The excerpt's last paragraph is chilling.

Ruddy said, “I spoke with the President twice yesterday about the wiretap story. I haven’t seen him this p*ssed off in a long time. When I mentioned Obama ‘denials’ about the wiretaps, he shot back: ‘This will be investigated, it will all come out. I will be proven right.’

That is the way of a delusional human. Not angry. Delusional. in HIS MIND the wiretap happened.

Roll that thought around for a bit and see how it feels.

The President.

Delusional.

In an obvious way.

"I will be proven right." On what is factually wrong.

[neeksgeek]

16. The man is just ...

Unreal. Unbelievable. Insane even comes to mind.

Seriously, he sounds absolutely insane.

"I will be proven right!" WTF?

[Eyeball_Kid]

45. Trumpy and his wonderful hotel may be wiretapped, but not by Obama.

By the DOJ? Maybe.

By the FBI? Maybe.

Investigators for counterintelligence issues do NOT inform the subjects of their investigations if national security is at risk.

[C_U_L8R]

18. Zero credibility

One hundred percent dumbshit

[dalton99a]

19. "Proven right"? There is already voluminous evidence that he is a fine purveyor of fake news.

[Solly Mack]

21. Oh, noes! He's not getting the respect he demands.

He needs to go tweet his feelings.

[spanone]

22. the networks/cable news folks will put the president on tv with little notice..present your evidence

c'mon don....do your schtick!

lay out your proof.

[Blue Owl]

23. Bring it

[bullwinkle428]

24. Right after the "5 million illegals voted for Hillary" investigation has concluded.

[oasis]

25. And thousands of NJ Muslims danced in the streets during 9/11 attack.

This boy's addicted to whoppers.

[Doreen]

43. Do not forget the bus loads of people crossing state lines to vote for Hillary.

61. "The New Hamphire Voting Massacre".

[napi21]

26. So, will he get even more pissed off when he hears Dir. Comey state positively there were NO

wiretaps in Trump Towers! I hope he gets sooo damn angered that he QUITS!

[Lotusflower70]

30. Seriously?

A President that wasn't involved in scandal over 8 years in office or the Asshat-in-chief that can't seem to get out of scandals. Who would you believe? It's a no-brainer. You don't believe him because he says it's true. There is no proof. Trump is fucking batshit. He could face a defamation of character lawsuit. Libel and slander are definitely in play. I don't believe a word he says and I never will. I don't trust him. This is just another distraction. He hates President Obama even though the majority love him. Probably because the majority love him.

[J_William_Ryan]

33. Somewhere in the

rat’s nest that is Trump’s brain, he realizes that a majority of the American people oppose him, that a majority of the voters did not vote for him, and that his hateful, bigoted, wrongheaded agenda is not supported by a majority of Americans, rendering Trump defensive, paranoid, and delusional.

[JenniferJuniper]

35. Paranoia will destroy ya, but

seriously, no one believes this. No one.

Dying to see where he tries to go with this now, though.

[The Polack MSgt]

64. sadly, almost all of the Cheeto Horde believes this sack of shit lie

Not only believes it - They believe this accusation kills all the "Fake News" regarding Russian contacts with 45 and his staff.

"Wait till we get the facts about Hussein Obama out in public", "Liberals have all just been destroyed" et cetera, et fucking cetera

[manicraven]

39. This is right up there with trump's investigation of Obama's birth certificate that never produced

anything whatsoever, or his investigation into millions who supposedly voted illegally for Hillary, or how he was going to hold a press conference regarding Melania's immigration in two weeks that never happened, or how he would produce his tax returns once the supposed audit was completed....

Isn't this more than narcissism? What is this some psychosis that includes paranoia? Maybe he has early dementia? He seems to believe his own lies.

[Corgigal]

73. I was thinking dementia too.

I don't believe it's early, he's in his mid 70s. I wonder if his kids know but don't care enough about him to protect him (and us) from himself.

[manicraven]

40. Reminds me of the children's story about the little boy who cried wolf...

[Doreen]

44. I was thinking the same thing.

[3catwoman3]

48. Well, golly gee. Someone who lies...

...all the time is surprised that people don't believe him. Imagine that.

[MFM008]

49. because this asswipe

has gotten away with it every time, like a 2 year old who's tantrum finally doesn't work.

[Doodley]

51. More projection? Maybe Trump KNOWS he has been wiretapped - when he was in his Russian hotel

[riversedge]

52. So a RW newsite advisor was the tattle-tailer on Trump. te he. Keep talking Ruddy!!

[AgadorSparticus]

53. He was tapped alright. They are called the kgb. The Russians

Wanted to make sure their kompromat stayed in line. Rachel Maddow did an incredible segment on this.

[FakeNoose]

65. The Feds tapped the Russians' phones, and Trump got caught

When is Donny-boy going to figure this out?

The only way he got recorded was when he spoke to the Russians - WHOSE LINES HAVE BEEN TAPPED.
You don't want to get recorded - OK don't speak to the Russians. Problem solved.

On the other hand, we can't equate wiretaps with server hacking. They're 2 different things entirely. I'm not sure the FBI needs a warrant to hack somebody's server or somebody's email. (which would include VOIP, am I right?)

Just sayin'

[King_Klonopin]

74. This is my first impression, too; his narcissism may be coming out full force.

One would hope that the NSA, FBI and CIA were all doing something
in regards to surveillance of the Russians.

This Russian ambassador (who has been in contact with multiple
people in the Trump campaign, for some unknown reason) is
supposedly a top recruiter of spies.

I believe that our intelligence community has the goods on Donny and his
little band of traitors, and he fears it. He is either trying to preemptively
discredit the story by distorting the reality that the target of wire-tapping
was the RUSSIANS -- not him -- but he got caught in the net. The
alternative explanation is that he is truly batshit crazy, self-centered and
grandiose beyond belief.

Trump, being the great narcissist, is making this ALL ABOUT HIM.

The DOJ and FBI are probably bullshit that he is threatening to expose
these efforts in order to save his own ass.

[Tanuki]

54. I think Kellyanne Conway is leaking like a sieve. There is one innocuous on-the-record

quote from her, so she obviously spoke with the reporters, amid all the rest of the anonymous material. She is well known for giving reporters lots of off-the-record background information, which is one reason why they put up with her annoying and disingenuous on-camera performance for so long. I'm wondering why she is sabotaging him....is she being vengeful at being locked out of the action and relegated to taking cell phone pictures of the key players? Or has her real boss, Robert Mercer grown tired of his pawn Trump and is preparing to remove him from the chessboard?

[nocalflea]

56. I invision a tiny Trump with his

hands balled up, jumping up and down yelling "I'am the president! Why won't anyone listen to me ? I am the president ! Listen to ME ! "

[Vinca]

57. Has he ever heard the story of the boy who cried "wolf?"

He's a serial liar. I wouldn't believe him if he said he had poached eggs for breakfast.

[DefenseLawyer]

60. Hopefully Sheriff Joe and his team of investigators are finished in Hawaii

They can get to the truth, once again.

63. Still waiting for that birth

.....certificate 45 swore he had.

He's obsessed with Obama.

[lagomorph777]

66. Just keep pissing him off every day,

until he pops an artery.

[chwaliszewski]

67. Trump is shit-eating crazy!

Keep the damn launch codes away from his dumb ass.

[murielm99]

68. Newsmax. Really?

Trump speaks to Newsmax and banishes reputable news outlets from his pressers.

Uh huh.

[Honeycombe8]

70. Congress needs to do something about this guy. He's gone off the edge. nt

[Beacool]

71. Trump is known to create his own reality.

The guy is a pathological liar. He's also trying to deflect from his own problems. He doesn't want to be investigated for his, and his surrogates, close ties with the Russians.

[bora13]

72. foil

he makes one hell of a foil while so much else is being repealed and cut from the people...

[cstanleytech]

75. You know why most of think you are lying Donnie? Because as the President you have the power

to declassify a ton of shit thats classified and you have not provided one iota of proof to support this claim of yours.
Oh I know, your response will be some bullshit that the secret shadowy Obama boogeymen you trot out destroyed it but thats bullshit to Donnie and we aint buying it though I heard the idiots over at freerepublic are lapping it up like usual but then they enjoy lapping up bullshit.

[Atman]

76. Clapper's denial is slippery.

“There was no such wiretap activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign.”

Technically, all he is really saying is that they were not wiretapping Trump's campaign. But they certainly could have been wiretapping Citizen Trump for his contacts with a foreign government, regardless of his status as a candidate for office.

[DeminPennswoods]

77. Never forget that Ruddy spent years chasing the Vince Foster story

Whenever you have the urge to think Chris Ruddy is normal or a serious person, just remember he spent years trying to prove Vince Foster was killed by the Clintons. This was his entire beat at Scaife's Pgh Tribune-Review.

[More_Cowbell]

78. Trump might not be happy with Ruddy's paper's 2016 report of his meeting with the Russian Ambassador
