WATCH: Trump angrily walks away from interview after reporter presses for Obama wiretapping evidence

Source: raw story

.........The wiretapping claims came up when Dickerson asked Trump about his relationship with former President Barack Obama, whom he had accused of conducting unlawful surveillance of him during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“He was very nice to me, but after that, we’ve had some difficulties,” said Trump. “So it doesn’t matter. You know, words are less important to me than deeds, and you saw what happened with surveillance.”

Dickerson then asked Trump for evidence that Obama had illegally wiretapped him, but Trump wouldn’t offer any — while insisting that “our side has been proven very strongly.”

Dickerson contradicted Trump, however, and pointed out that nothing had been proven.

"Well, he was very nice to me, but then after that we've had some difficulties..."

I used to say Trump has the maturity of a 12-year-old, but now I think 6 is more accurate.

You just know he's seething after he dismisses the reporter. He's thinking how much easier it would be if our country was like Russia, and he didn't have to deal with a free press. Watch out, Dickerson, angry tweet ahead.
And I'm anxious about his future plans. He hates any sort of criticism. I think he's going to do something to try to stop our free press.

I want to hear it from President Trump."

(this was just after Caligula says "you can take it any way you want" when Dickerson asked him about calling Obama "sick" and "bad" (at 1:03) )

Just to put the above in chronological order:

At 1:03 Dickerson asks about his relationship with Obama and mentions Trump calling Obama "sick" and "bad"

Trump responds with ... "you can take it any way you want"

Dickerson: "I'm asking you, you don't want it to be fake news, I want to hear it from President Trump."

Yet...and this is the important part...Trump is saying that about what he claims are facts.

If they were facts, he'd have proof. He'd have evidence.

But he doesn't offer any...says it's all in how you take it and what your opinion is.

And morons fall for it.

He's recently done it a few times when a reporter asks a question about Michael Flynn. One time, he was purportedly there for one of his displays of signing things and he just stormed out of the room and left the documents unsigned. That's Presidential, right?

Knowing that he was going to end the interview suddenly (without answering the question) made it even more excruciating. How much more of this do we have to have thrust upon us before someone with some brains and common sense says ENOUGH! He has done so much damage to this country it just sickens me. This is just a small hint at how far over the edge the people in DC are who could stop this madness. They will get what they want out of him no matter what the cost. I am going to stop right here because I can feel my blood pressure going up. We are doomed if this is allowed to continue.

not so much because he is pressed for proof, but simply because Dickerson pressed him on what exactly he was saying.

That is so telling. He's spent so much of his time making mouth sounds but carefully not exactly anything.

He's so used to just saying things and having people fill in the blanks with what they think he is saying. Turns out his true kryptonite is just simply asking him to clarify what he is saying. And from that he runs like the coward he is!
