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.
But there were a series of tweets in which this was one of them
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.
