President Donald Trump is now accusing former President Barack Obama that a water-gate style wire tap was conducted by the Obama administration during Trump's campaign. Trump has not provided any evidence that there was a wire tap occurred. To have action on this accusation, Trump is asking Congress to investigate the Obama administration of the scandal. The Obama administration has responded, stating that the accusations are flat out false. James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, has also came out, stating there is no evidence that a wire tap occurred at Trump Tower.
This situation shows how untrustworthy, immature, and unworthy Trump is to hold the highest position in the United States government. This is the one of many times that Trump has been caught spreading flat out lies and accusing people of things without and cold hard evidence which should be a red flag to any person concerned with the state of our national government. If these types of accusations were made towards a person of high power from another country, it could result in a very messy situation, that could risk the lives of people. This should also alarm people, because this is clearly a desperate attempt to distract the media and the American people's attention from the investigation on Trump's ties with Russia, which hints that he has something to hide. The accusation that Trump is accusing the Obama Administration can be linked to the Nixon-Watergate scandal.
