Trump invented a scandal to change the focus

Donald Trump is a master at shuffling cards.

What do you think is important to talk about when more than 80,000 Americans died from the coronavirus?

The president of the most powerful country in the world is making up a scandal that is unlikely to exist, Obamagate.

Trump can’t even specify what kind of crime he thinks Obama committed.

In a direct question from a Washington Post reporter to indicate exactly what the crime is, Trump responded.

– You know what the crime is. Crime is clear to everyone. All you have to do is read the newspapers except yours.

The British Guardian aptly summed up the president’s statement with the words “Clear as earthenware.”

Obamagate is a term that Trump himself invented on Twitter two days ago. Experts and the media in the United States and the outside world are still trying to understand what this is all about.

In short, Trump appears to have drowned in right-wing populist conspiracy theories that, just before resigning, Barack Obama tried to sabotage incumbent Donald Trump and his administration. However, without presenting any evidence of these claims.

One of the allegations is that Obama began the investigation against Flynn with the intention of trying to hook Trump.

Admittedly, Russia’s so-called investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election and whether there was any connection to the Trump campaign was launched during Obama’s last term, but was led by the FBI and the Justice Department. Not because of Obama. The investigation was undertaken by Trump’s own Vice Minister of Justice, Rod Rosenstein.

“The worst crime in the history of the United States”

Still, Trump accuses Obama of “the worst political crime in the history of the United States.” A rhetorical rhetoric that is recognized by other injustices to which the President believes he has been subjected.

The reason for Trump’s anger appears to be that Barack Obama in a conference call last week with former activists should have criticized the fact that Trump Justice Minister William Barr brought charges against the former Trump adviser and the general. Michael Flynn, who admitted to lying about his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to Washington.

Obama, like a string of upset judges, argued that the accusation was a threat to the free justice system. In plain text, it says the prosecution was allowed to protect President Trump.

At the same meeting, Obama should also have strongly criticized Trump’s response to the crown pandemic as “a chaotic mess.”

Presidents generally refrain from criticizing their successors. That is the norm in American politics. But it is worth remembering that Obama has not spoken in public even though, of course, he must have been aware that his words could leak.

Obama has been very cautious in criticizing Trump, despite the fact that he basically blamed all the problems in America today for Obama’s policies and spent tremendously on breaking everything Obama went through as president.

False statement

Trump writes on Twitter:

“Barack Hussein Obama is the first president to speak out against his successor, something that has been a long tradition of decency. He stayed. Obamagate!”

Except that it is not true, both Bill Clinton and George W Bush have criticized their successors, there is no crime committed by Obama. Furthermore, he has not made any public statement against Trump.

Then-former Republican President George W. Bush has gone further in criticizing Trump in public, albeit without mentioning his name.

What it’s really about, in addition to Trump’s self-esteem, is the crisis in the United States’ Crown.

Get rid of Biden

As the death toll in the United States begins to rise to 100,000, with the United States accounting for nearly a third of the world’s total deaths, criticism of President Trump’s belated and flawed response to the pandemic is increasingly turning fierce. In fact, covid-19 and its impact on the economy is the biggest threat to Trump’s re-election in November.

Therefore, Trump is trying to blame himself in different ways. His attack on China and the allegations that China attacked the United States with viruses are part of that tactic.

Now Trump is trying to shift his focus once again by accusing Obama of crimes. All in the hope that that indictment will also eliminate his opponent in the presidential election, Joe Biden. Biden was vice president during Obama’s eight years in office.

Trump is very skilled in this type of game. Getting the world to talk about exactly what you want it to focus on. Now he wants to focus on China and Obama instead of his own failed management of the pandemic.
