Obama (And Literally Everyone Else) Strongly Deny Trump's Wild Wiretapping Accusations

Trump recently tweeted out a series of accusations claiming Obama had wiretapped him during the 2016 Presidential campaign. Despite having no evidence, the White House is firmly standing behind these claims and demanding an investigation, but damn near everyone else in politics is rejecting the accusation outright.

Let’s see if we can wrap our heads around this crazy AF story...

First thing’s first; here are the tweets that started it all:

This is ridiculous for a couple of reasons. Usually, when a powerful figure wants to levy serious accusations against an opponent (and is Obama even an opponent anymore?), they don’t use social media. That’s where 12-year olds complain about who got kicked off The Bachelor.

But even more egregiously, there doesn’t seem to be a shred of proof to back any of this up. Multiple news outlets have been unable to discover any evidence that this tapping took place, and even Trump’s own people are dodging the question in interviews.

Kellyanne Conway, who’s quickly becoming notorious as Trump’s number one talking head, could only offer this explanation: “He’s the President of the United States. He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not, and that’s the way it should be.”

Meanwhile, most everyone who worked with the Obama administration has strongly denied the allegations. A spokesperson for Obama rejected the claim by saying in a statement, “A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

On top of that, the former director of national intelligence says Trump’s campaign was never tapped during his tenure, and FBI Director James Comey has since asked the Department of Justice to “publically reject” Trump’s claims, saying that they’re “false and must be corrected.”

But none of this pushback is slowing down the Trump team. Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an interview that she doesn’t think the President accepts Comey’s statement, and that their administration would still like an investigation into the matter. All this even though they’re yet to provide a single piece of evidence.

Meanwhile, the internet's having a field day with the scandal -- or rather, the probable lack thereof. #IfIWereWireTapped has exploded since Trump's original tweets, and it's a goldmine:

So what do you think? Could Trump know something the rest of us don’t, or should we simply delete his Twitter account?
