...if he's relying on his right-wing, white supremacist, conspiracy sites for this, he's really gone low- giving a nutcase site's rantings the imprimatur of the highest office in the land.
If he's citing intelligence sources, there's a big question of who gave him this information, and what he did or said to subvert the separation of the Executive and Justice, especially if he is, indeed, the target of an investigation.

(50,301 posts)Trump should be more concerned about the contents of whatever affidavit was presented to the FISA court for a warrant. Assuming, of course, all of this is true and not more made up BS from Alex Jones.

(45,017 posts)He could be wire tapping his whole directory of imagined enemies.
Or maybe he thinks he has the power to assassinate people just
like his BFF Putin.

(768 posts)although we suspect it is the former.
If he got the information through the intelligence community, then someone leaked it to him and it is very serious. We know he wants to stop all leaks so the onus it on him to tell the American people his sources. Otherwise:

(22,308 posts)just so Chump can quote Breitbart.
His picture of Schumer with Putin didn't have the effect he expected so he raised the stakes.
Until I hear about some credible source for this, I am not buying it.
