Trump Seems Determined To Destroy The Credibility Of The US With Incoherent Tweets (VIDEO)

When it comes to President Donald Trump’s Twitter, there are a variety of opinions. Some people like the openness and direct connection to the people, others find it impulsive and childish. When it comes to this topic, Senator Dick Durbin has a simple, direct opinion:

“Donald Trump is destroying the credibility of the Office of President 140 characters at a time.”

The Illinois Democrat went on CNN on Tuesday to discuss the Obama wiretapping accusations and circus surrounding healthcare in America. He was especially upset about the unsubstantiated wiretapping claims, which Trump tweeted about earlier in the week to the confusion and anger of many. Durbin said:

“This charge that he has made about some wiretapping before the election without a scintilla of evidence has been refuted not only by the former president but the national head of intelligence and the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.”

It appears that Trump originally picked up the idea from a Breitbart story that provided no evidence to support the claim. The so-called President then relayed that same message via Twitter as truth, again with no evidence. Durbin is afraid tactics like this are distracting from more serious stories:

“The Republicans in Congress still want to take this seriously. Why? So they can avoid a serious investigation, an independent, transparent investigation, of the Russian involvement in the last election.”

Trump has not appeared in public or in front of the press since this accusation to back up his claims, leaving surrogates like Sean Spicer twisting in the wind. As for the accused, former President Barack Obama has firmly and repeatedly denied ordering any such wiretaps on Trump Tower. But Trump, never one to be bothered by facts, is calling for the Republican majority Congress to order investigations getting to the bottom of the ordeal. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has taken up the banner, but as a vocal critic of the President it could be for the sole purpose of proving him wrong and then rubbing it in his face.

If that’s the case, then investigate away.
