Trump Has No Evidence and Gives No Apology

To this day President Trump provides no real hard evidence that the previous president, Obama, “wiretapped” Trump at Trump Towers.

It would seem that Trump supporters believe Trump, taking him at his word, rather than accept the truth that it did not happen, given the lack of evidence after appropriate investigations have been made.

In short, President Trump is getting away with making unfounded serious and profound accusations against a previous president without political, social, or legal, consequence.

What’s next?  Who’s next?

When the president of the United States of America can get away with making a baseless and outrageous accusation of this kind against a former president, we are in big trouble.  Yet, few Republicans seem to own how serious this really is.  Yes, this is serious!!

What’s worse is that, through his spokesman, Sean Spicer, Trump has now accused one of our greatest allies to be in cahoots with Obama in this so-called wiretapping scheme that Obama supposedly perpetrated against Trump.  The scandal is getting worse, not better as time goes by!

This action cuts to the core as to what kind of man we presently have, holding the office of the presidency.  At first, Spicer said, “The Tweet speaks for itself,” and it does!  But then, Spicer/Trump saw the need to redefine and reinterpret what Trump really meant by his tweeted accusation.  So now we are to assume that, no, the tweet actually does NOT speak for itself—it now needs, as I Love Lucy’s Ricky Ricardo use to say, “some esplaining.”

I’m a pastor.  I know without a doubt that if I were to make a false accusation of this magnitude against another or former pastor I would be forthwith dismissed, let go!  I would be held accountable for my unsubstantiated accusation including my poor choice of words.  Minimally I’d most certainly be required to apologize, among other things.  No doubt I could also be sued for libel in a court of law.  Yet, here we are speaking of a man who holds the office of the President of the United States, and he’s getting away with it!!  Is President Donald Trump above the law?  NO, he is not!

And Trump hasn’t even completed his first 100 days in office yet!

Wake up people.  Trump is dangerous, very dangerous.  We’re heading for trouble.  If we don’t hold him accountable now, we will greatly regret it later.
