Synopsis- President Trump has informed the masses via the twitter that former president Obama was surveilling the Trump Tower during the election. He says that Obama tapped his phones and was listening in on his conversations, comparing the situation to the Nixon/Watergate scandal. He gave no evidence to back his claims, and officials are denying such events occurred.
Analysis- Okay, what the hell. Now I'm not saying his claims are completely impossible, because they are not. It is possible that Obama could have ordered surveillance on Trump through official channels or otherwise. But to proclaim something of this magnitude without any evidence is improper. Not only that, he did it using twitter. TWITTER. He's behaving like a teenage girl who just got dumped. Oy vei.
Synthesis- As Trump has already so gracefully tweeted, this can be compared to the Watergate scandal of president Nixon, which including "bugging" the work places of his political opponents.
