Trump is at it again

The pattern has gotten incredibly obvious, though I am sure some will still refuse to see it.  While Trump had a moment of good press early in the week, by Friday his administration was mired in more Russian controversy, and Saturday Trump sent a flurry of tweets (Twitterstorm?) seeking to deflect attention away from his administration.  In this case, he got it into his mind that Obama had ordered wiretaps against him, and to judge by the headlines I have read so far, Obama is planning a coup or some such thing.  With luck, by Monday the news will be refocused on Russia, because at least one news story I saw also linked Trump's son-in-law into some of these meetings.  Maybe Trump really didn't know everyone around him was dealing with the Russians, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.  Trump is muckraking in order to deflect attention, and I really think Americans should have learned better by now.  One thing that the digital age does sort of ruin is the old ability of printed newspapers of burying stories inside the paper or even below the fold if they actually seem to merit attention, but not all the attention.  Since Trump tweeted it, the story will get attention, but the real story is not wiretaps, but the campaign contacts with Russia, and, with luck, the focus will return there quickly.  Bad press distresses Trump, so this really needs to keep moving forward.  There is a chance that Monday will bring more real news, but even then, the story with the Russians needs to play out and be investigated.  I don't even care if nothing is found, but there are enough questions to propriety that the truth is obfuscated, so a non-partisan investigation needs to be carried out.
