President Donald Trump went into a tirade on Twitter following his predecessor, former President Barrack Obama, giving a speech about the election. Trump would go on to tweet the following:
HE SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT!

WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?

The speech by Obama followed the DNC Convention and the remarks about spying on the Trump campaign stem from the Trump-Russia scandal that implicated the Obama administration in FISA court abuse. More from the Daily Wire:
Trump’s tweets come after Obama attacked the president during his DNC speech, saying, “I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously; that he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care.”
“But he never did. For close to four years now, he’s shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves,” Obama continued. “Donald Trump hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t. And the consequences of that failure are severe. 170,000 Americans dead. Millions of jobs gone while those at the top take in more than ever. Our worst impulses unleashed, our proud reputation around the world badly diminished, and our democratic institutions threatened like never before.”
Trump also tweeted out a video that brought up the elements of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign that happened during Obama’s presidency.
The Trump administration has been anchored by the Trump-Russia conspiracy and will be fighting hard for the second term to make up for the time they lost in the first. While behind closed doors President Obama allegedly said very negative things about candidate Biden early in the race he is now in full support as the 2020 general election moves closer and closer.
