In an unusually harsh piece in the Wall Street Journal published Tuesday night, the conservative paper equated Donald Trump’s obsession with the idea that he was wiretapped by ex-President Barack Obama to a drunk with “an empty gin bottle.”

According to the Journal, Trump is in danger of becoming a “Fake president,” due to his promotion of what turns out to be “fake news,” seriously damaging his credibility.

“If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world?” the editorial begins. “We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations, evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.”

Noting the president’s failure to admit that he has no evidence of wiretapping, the Journal goes on to say that, not only is he destroying his credibility, but the credibility of his spokes people.

1. Imagine that.....

You would think that when such a staunchly conservative media outlet says something like this that it would make our groper-in-chief rethink some of his "positions". I'll bet it won't though.
