President Trump cut off an Oval Office interview with CBS anchor John Dickerson and gestured for him to leave the room when Dickerson repeatedly asked about the president's unfounded wiretapping claims.
Trump signaled that he still believes, as he tweeted on March 4, that "Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory."
Obama aides, intelligence community officials and some prominent Republican lawmakers have all disputed the claim. And the president has provided no evidence to back it up.

But when Trump brought it up during an interview taping on Saturday, and Dickerson followed up, Trump said, "I think our side's been proven very strongly and everybody's talking about it and frankly, it should be discussed."
Trump added, "We should find out what the hell is going on."
When Dickerson pressed him, Trump said: "You can take it any way -- you can take it any way you want."
Dickerson: "I'm asking you because you don't want it to be fake news. I want to hear it from President Trump."
Trump: "You don't have to ask me. You don't have to ask me."
Dickerson: "Why not?"
Trump: "Because I have my own opinions, you can have your own opinions."
Dickerson: "But I want to know your opinions. You're the president of the United States."
Trump: "That's enough. Thank you. Thank you very much."
It is impossible for conservatives to see it the way you do. There is no limit to the rationalization they are capable of.His arguments and behavior are childlike.
I know they would never admit it, but watching that clip has to be incredibly embarrassing for real conservatives, who see what they have done to they have inflicted on their own country.

Trump really is the biggest embarrassment ever as president. The man is a true dickhead.
He was a joke of a candidate and he's an even worse joke as a president.
Liberals....conservatives... we all argue and fight about many things we disagree on.
But when it comes to Trump being a total ass, I think that's one we can all agree on.
There are nutbags on every side.One would hope.
...but there are actually some out there that truly believe Trump was delivered to the US by Jesus.
seriously.
"I don't stand by anything"
It's that the Russians were surveilled and Trump's treasonous administration was caught up in it when they communicated with the Russians, you fucking maggot.You guys should look up Edward Snowden. He said exactly what happened would happen, and was proven right. Then if you don't believe what you find about him, look at the evidence posted on wikileaks.
Besides that, there is the incredibly ridiculous assertion that Obama is completely incompetent. That is, he claimed to have knowledge of reasons to be suspicious of Russian involvement with Trumps's team prior to the election. So the story is, he has suspiciouns of Russian involvement, and he doesn't act on that at all, no wire tap, no surveillance?
Either Trump was surveyed or Obama is a completely incompetent when it came to matters of national security. Which is it?

6 months later and you guys still don't understand the difference between voting machines being hacked and an election being influenced by the actions of an outside state?Also, don't forget:
Trump is the President, if there were any evidence, he'd have it and could prove it.
Bzzzt WRONG. At the time of the surveillance, Obama was the president.
I do agree with your logic though: if there was any real evidence, the allegations could have been proven. Since that didn't happen, it's obvious that there is zero real collusion between Trump and Russia.

You're a fanatic, really, you should see someone or stay off the internet.
