The president has quite a habit of reposting material he learned on far-right media, and now the AP is picking up another example: his claim that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.

It came from Breitbart, which reprinted a claim from radio host Mark Levin. That was then picked up by the White House, and a staffer placed that piece in Trump's daily reading pile, according to a White House official who wouldn't speak publicly to the AP, citing a lack of willingness to talk about Trump's private routine on the record. Trump reportedly read that story on Saturday, and then started to tweet.

1. Are we seeing a pattern

developing? As Trump attacks Mr. Obama his ratings go south,and Some in the Media are calling him out for his lies.

Trump is attempting to clean-up his Stupid History of Attacking anyone and everyone when his inadequacies take over.

[LOL Lib]

2. The guy is a fucking idiot. Nothing else to say.

[bullimiami]

3. I say. Planted by the WH w Levin. Printed by Bannon in Breitbart. Howled by Trump as proof.

4. You mean Wormtongue Bannon provoked the President intentionally to stoke chaos???

Seems legit.

5. Which official??

6. So will Schiff still investigate?

Too late to call it off methinks.

Do you suppose li'l Donnie stands in front of the mirror each morning and asks himself why he is so stupid?

7. Was clearly infotainment Breitbart from the get go. Even now the MSM refuses to state the obvious.

8. Number one..can't believe so many

Insiders are leaking..love it. Number two..blows my theory that he was behind the whole deal. I still think that even tho 99% of DU disagree that the whole episode was to determine IF TT was tapped.

9. Let's hear from the horse's mouth.

Not some anonymous "official".

10. simpleton in the white house

uggh

[AgadorSparticus]

11. Ignorance is not an excuse. He is the fucking POTUS!! He needs to be held accountable

For what comes out of his mouth.

[StrictlyRockers]

12. He has access to the best intelligence services in the world, and yet...

he chooses to go to f*cking Brietbart for his information.

[DFW]

14. That's the amazong part

As POTUS, he has the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the DIA and over a dozen smaller agencies at his beck and call, and instead, he chooses to get his intel from Breitbart?

What does he read for leisure, Bartholomew and the Oobleck?

[Stonepounder]

13. Of course, the 'confirmation' could be a lie as well.

We can't trust anything the comes out of This White House.

Trump didn't know anything about Flynn being employed by Turkey
- No body thought to mention it to him?

Pence didn't know anything about Flynn being employed by Turkey
-Flynn's lawyer told 'the head of the transition team about Flynn
-Pence was the head of the transition team

Hell, I bloody knew about it, since it was in a number of articles back in November 2016
