Namely, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump wasn't referring to wiretapping when he tweeted about wiretapping.

(56,828 posts)Then, some RWers that interviewed him tried to get him to say, "you mean they created the conditions that allowed ISIS to be formed?" and Trump said no, he meant that were actually the founding members of ISIS.
So, I'm guessing that Trump really means he thinks he was wiretapped personally by Obama...
