There were so many "unprecedented" things Trump was doing that it's hard to remember.

Culminating in him claiming Obama wiretapped him at Trump Tower. Remember that oldie but goodie?

It's been noted how he continues to harp on Hillary like a Banana Republic leader would do of his opponent...jailing her if possible.

So none of that has gone unnoticed by the press.
