You can tell Trump is on the ropes when he accused President Obama of committing a felony. Wiretapping is a specific act. He's now saying, "hey I put wiretap in quotes so what it means is all kinds of surveillance.
When asked by Carlson why he tweeted about the alleged phone tap before producing evidence, Trump said his definition of wiretapping "covers a lot of different things."

"That really covers surveillance and many other things," he said. "Nobody ever talks about the fact that [the words 'wires tapped'] was in quotes [in the tweet], but that’s a very important thing

But there were a series of tweets in which this was one of them
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

Note words "wires tapped" are not quoted. Also he made the specific charge that Obama "tapped his phone" which is more then just general surveillance.

The WH are doing what they always do when Trump talks shit, word smith their way out. His big mouth has boxed him into a corner I hope the media and the committees investigating keep him in.

Just wait lots of interesting things are going to come to light in the next two weeks. We won't believe it. He can barely believe it himself. What his investigators have found in Hawaii is just unbelievable.

That entire interview is pure, distilled lunacy. He basically came out and said the reason he thought he was being wiretapped was because he saw a segment about wiretapping on Fox News.

This man is not mentally well.

Haha what a fucking pussy. A man should speak his mind and not back down from his convictions. This is what we have to look forward to.

"I didn't actually mean a wall." "I didn't actually mean a Muslim ban." "When I said "fix" the economy I meant "price fix".

He should just drop the pretense and declare marshal law. Get the charade over with.

I find it just exhausting dealing with the reality of a POTUS who is so persistently dishonest, professionally incompetent and proudly ignorant. We have had plenty of Presidents who suffered from some of the same deficiencies as Trump, but none who combined them all into one nacho cheese-colored shitbag.

Indeed, and also sadly all too true.

Honestly, I find him no different than many of the right wing posters here. All you can do is call them out and shame them, unfortunately, trump is also a narcissist so he's impervious to shame. Oh well, I'll put him in ignore.

Press can ask question over and over again until WH explains why Trump shouldn't apologize. Maybe someone can convince Obama to sue to get Trump to cut the shit out and stop being a dirtbag

The white house seems to think that people thought that when trump said his phone were tapped that he meant physically unscrewed and bugged. Did anyone here think that?

Lol

I'm enjoying watching the white house delay the press briefing while trying to figure out how to deal with the complete discrediting of the president's claim.

Lol amateurs.

You are being too nice. They are formulating a lie to counter the previous lie.

Amazingly, this could all go away if trump simply concedes he was wrong and apologize to Obama.

I'm guessing it will look like the birther "apology".

And the Brits were not amused by Spicer's lie about Brits spying on Trump on behalf of Obama. WH promised not to repeat the lie.

Nothing like turning a minor domestic incident into full blown diplomatic disaster.

Lies, the brits are in on it and trying to help the Obama return as dictator for life. It's all part of the UN agenda 21 conspiracy to make us all live in the dark like Obama did in Africa and enforce Islamic law because floride in the water is polluting our natural essence. Buy your floride shield from Alex jones before it is to late.
