Trump has been slandering President Obama for several years without providing any proof - but his latest claim that President Obama wiretapped him is extremely dangerous. In fact, it puts the entire Obama family at great risk. As has been reported on MSNBC - Trump's claim that President Obama wiretapped him is already baked into the cake with Trump's base, and almost no amount of proof will likely change that. There are too many nuts out there to be so loose with the facts. If President Obama gets harmed - whose fault is it?
Trump’s ruthless, near obsessive, vendetta of lies against Obama paid big dividends early on. It got him briefly in the hunt for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012. That made him a political household name. Three years later, in 2015, it got him to the top of the GOP presidential pack and kept him there during the primaries. It then got him the biggest prize of all, the White House.
The wiretapping charge fits the pattern to the letter. Trump doubled down on that by demanding a Congressional probe into it. The hope is that the more who believe there’s any truth to this will serve to whittle away yet another tiny chunk from Obama’s well-established legacy of personal honor and integrity.
The charge will, of course, go nowhere because it’s another Trump lie. But that’s less important than making the accusation, and getting the media and public headline hit on Obama. This won’t be the end. We can be sure that Trump won’t rest until he’s destroyed Obama’s political legacy, and Obama as well.
