There's A New Contender For The Worst Job In The USA: Listening To Hours Of Wiretapped Bull$hit From The Office In The Trump Tower

The news of the WikiLeaks exposure of the CIA's cyber-surveillance capability to acess files on computers, smartphone, and "smart" big-screen TV sets prompted this blogger to think, "So that's how Borowitz gained access to conversations and thoughts spoken aloud in the Obamas' new home in Washington, DC. It is likely that the CIA used a top-secret computer program to bug the Obama residence via a new big-screen TV set. If this is (fair & balanced) proof that fiction can be stranger than truth, so be it.

Donald J. Trump’s claim that Barack Obama wiretapped him received a strong denial on Monday from the former President, who said to reporters, “Like I’d want to hear more from that fool?”

Obama said that, when he first saw Trump’s allegations on Twitter, “My first thought was, Only a narcissist on the scale of Donald Trump would think people want to hear more from him than they currently do. If anything, I think we’d all like to hear way, way less.”

He said that his wife, Michelle, agreed that the idea of his wanting to hear more from Donald Trump “was one of the funniest things she’s ever heard.”

“When I read her those Trump tweets on Saturday morning, she totally cracked up,” the former President said. “Whenever we’re at home and that guy comes on TV, I’m always, like, ‘Michelle, turn that damn thing off.’ ”

Obama visibly shuddered at the notion of intelligence agencies providing him with hours of recordings of Donald Trump talking. “Don’t even,” he said. ###
