Let's start with Trump's interview with "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson, the full text of which is making its way around the Internet this morning.
There's a LOT in there -- transcript is here -- but one passage stood out to me as particularly outlandish. After Trump said, "You saw what happened with surveillance," Dickerson asked the President whether he stood by his totally and completely unproven claim that then President Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election -- and that Obama was a "sick" and "bad" guy for doing so.
Here's Trump's response:
"I don't stand by anything. I just-- you can take it the way you want. I think our side's been proven very strongly. And everybody's talking about it. And frankly it should be discussed. I think that is a very big surveillance of our citizens. I think it's a very big topic. And it's a topic that should be number one. And we should find out what the hell is going on."
"I don't stand by anything"!!!!!
