We're still being scammed by a con man

Each day, each tweet seems as if will qualify as the "last straw" of believability from Donald Trump. But the latest one producing all of the media time definitely qualities.

President Obama, like him or not (and I did), is much too smart to act illegally, and no one who would and should know, has the needed paperwork for an ordered wiretap. In addition, each of the accusations made by Donald Trump, beginning with the original anti-Obama birther movement and continuing throughout the election process and to this day, have been found to be "alternative facts." Why take up time with this one? The members of Congress who treat this wiretapping tweet as viable, are showing a degree of unreality similar to that of their leader.

The real danger and perhaps the plan, is to distract the easily distractible media with nonsense while Paul Ryan and his cronies "deconstruct" regulations (oversight) in place to protect our environment, the health and well-being, finances, and public education of the American people. We, the People, continue to be scammed by an incompetent con man, who is being duped by advisers whose plans will undo the protections we rely on and expect as Americans.
