It appears President Trump was searching for an Obama-era scandal — and came up short.

After weighing in on congressional Democrats’ ramped-up oversight efforts Friday, Trump turned his attention to his predecessor.

“We want to find out what happened with the last Democrat president,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, for no apparent reason. “Let’s look into Obama the way they have looked at me from day one. They looked into everything that we’ve done. They could look into the book deal that President Obama made. Let’s subpoena all of his records.”

What prompted the book deal reference is anyone’s guess. But it could be that Trump, a man obsessed with setting records, is stung that former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama received an unprecedented $65 million advance for their post-presidency tell-alls.

5. he was counting on a book deal.

prolly stupid enough to think that he still pay someone to write a hagiography that he will get big bucks for. but perhaps it has been mentioned to him that that is unlikely at this point.

you cant write a book about your crimes in prison and make money on it. sorry spanky.

6. And Michelle's book is still on the bestseller list.

7. Watch for this to come back to

bite him in his fat ass big time. Attacking Michele Obama will cause things to get ugly for Fat Donnie real quick.

8. So a private company makes a deal with a private citizen

because said company believes his book will make them money - just what are we supposed to investigate?
