78

While taking a rest for a week to see how the world was developing without responding to it too eagerly every time, I admit I was gasping for air after last Sunday's Trump tweets. Without any visible proof Trump accused Obama for tapping "his" phones while insulting Obama viciously (and still has not stopped doing so with almost every tweet he blasts). It was not only embarrassing to see that happen but moreover it is starting to feel awkward and dangerous that a man who is obviously not smart enough to be a president of any country, is in charge of the most powerful one. 

Trump obvioulsy does not seem to understand that even a president of the US is not in charge of everything and everyone and that in a democratic system there are "checks and balances" and a division of powers to avoid that a single man can do what Trump now obvioulsy seem to aim for. His phone tap rant on twitter, as a response to probably another Breitbart story he had read earlier, shows that he is unaware of or even simply does not accept the Trias Politica and the existing legal procedures of the US. He also does not seem to understand that this will most likely backfire in his own pocket, whatever the outcome is.

If his or his teams phones are really have been tapped, Obama could not have ordered that. Only a court can after an underpinned request of the (independent) FBI. So not only his insults at the address of Obama were inapproperiate and wrong targetted, if true, Trump himself or his team members were under serious suspicion of violating US laws.

If it's not true, Trump has proved again he is not capable of collecting and judging real facts and deciding and communicating about them in a "presidential" way.

 

Meanwhile, Wikileaks has dropped another "phone tap bomb" in the pond claiming that the CIA with some help of UK's MI5 has become a powerfull phone and TV hacking organisation with hundreds of experts operating on hacks on indiviuals and organizations from all over the world. An embarrassing but not unimportant sideliner is that lots of the CIA's tools seem to have been stolen and are potentially in the hands of criminals and foreign spies.

All in all, if the Wikileaks story is true, and given the underpinning load of 8761 documents it probably is, Trump as president of the US has now with his tweet blast put a focus on one of the most secret US-weapons: spying on everyone everywhere in the world.

Have fun listening to ??? :)))
