the president is illiterate. [View all]

I'm watching Lawrence O'Donnell and he's discussing the wiretapping claims.

Trump is genuinely illiterate.

It's clearly not an act.

He read these articles :https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/us/politics/nsa-gets-more-latitude-to-share-intercepted-communications.html?platform=hootsuite&_r=0

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/19/us/politics/trump-russia-associates-investigation.html?_r=0

And he heard a question Bret Baier posed to Paul Ryan about rumors concerning a FISA warrant which may have picked up contacts in the Trump campaign thus expanded to cover Trump officials, to which Paul Ryan answered a negative - he knew of no such information and he knew of no one in Congress aware of such information, there's no evidence to that claim.

Yet Trump believed Bret's question and heard "Obama Tapped my phone"

This man is a fucking idiot. He's not just vile, and disgusting, he's a fucking idiot.
