Phone Tapping? The PERFECT distraction and BAIT to drag his base further from reality!

[eniwetok]

Remember when the Bush Junta accused Clinton staffers of vandalizing the Whitehouse? Man that got the attention off Bush's being installed as president even after being rejected by the People... AND get his base so pissed off at Clinton, they'd be happy to see him go.

I suspect Trump's latest Twitter Tantrum is designed to serve the same purposes... only to get the attention off his Russia troubles. His base will believe anything he says... and the more the MSM uncovers the Russian connection and discredits his latest tweent, he'll use that to drag his base further and further away from reality into his dementia.

1. All it did was highlight the Russia problem

for Congress and give more fodder about having an independent investigation that the GOP has been stonewalling.

2. Possibly. It may have been meant as such...

but ironically, this twitter tantrum may be the last straw. Live by the distraction, die by the distraction.

3. yeah right

People seem to forget that months were spent accusing Obama of wiretapping all of us when faulty interpretations of Snowden's leaks were perpetuated by the RW. That seed has existed in the minds of people who were outraged and wanted to blame someone. Anti-Obama isn't always the equvilent of pro trumpism, but stuff like this nudges it in that direction. The administration knows exactly what they are doing and it has nothing to do with paranoia.
