It's no secret that Donald Trump is being investigated for everything under the Sun right now. His hush money payments to a porn stars and playboy playmates, his emoluments clause violations, his tax returns, his business tax returns, and pretty much anything else you could imagine. So yeah, the guy's a little investigation, uh, you know, tired right now, doesn't want to deal with it anymore. And he thinks that all of these investigations are witch hunts. They're all hoaxes. Just like he claimed the Mueller investigation was a hoax. Well, yesterday he finally snapped. I guess he kinda hit that point where he just couldn't take it anymore and Dang it. He wants the House Judiciary Committee to look at the real scandals. And the real scandals are Barack Obama's book deal and his deal with Amazon to produce some programming for the streaming platform. Those, according to Donald Trump, are the real crimes that house Democrats better start looking into because yes, no president ever after leaving office has, you know, cashed in because people want to hear what a president has to say. Donald Trump's an idiot. And I can't say that enough. And I feel like I say it all the time, and that's still not quite enough. I mean, obviously this is classic deflection. He's trying to say, yeah, but look what Obama's doing. I'm losing money. He told us on Twitter, he says, I'm losing billions by being president. But I did it because I wanted the honor of being your president. Meanwhile, Obama's out here writing a book and getting money for it. How? Which one of us is the real crook. Trump wants to know, this is actually what Donald Trump tweeted. So they say, okay, let's look at everything else. And all of the deals that Trump has done over his lifetime, he's referring to the fact that Mueller allegedly came up with nothing, but it doesn't work that way. I have a better idea. Look at the Obama book deal or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the congressional slush fund, and lastly, the inspector general reports. Okay, let's look at him. What kind of bad things do they say about Democrats? Because inspector general reports tend to be taken pretty seriously. Uh, people do read those. They do make headlines. And as far as I can remember for God, probably at least the last two years, uh, all the IG reports that have come out have been about things like, oh, you're violating the emoluments clause. Oh, members of your cabinet are exceeding the spending limits and broke the rules. And of course, Kellyanne Conway's countless hatch act violations. Those have all come from the inspector general. So if you want us to start looking at those reports, we have solutely well, because we already have been and we've been reporting on them since you came into office. Obama's deal with Netflix. I don't care if you love Obama, you hate Obama, where you think he's, whatever. That's not illegal. The man's not in office anymore. He's not funneling money. He's not laundering money. He's not getting paid under the table. He's not committing tax fraud. He's a former president who was hugely popular and Netflix wants to capitalize on that by giving him lots of money to go make some programming. There is literally nothing wrong with that. Now, depending on your opinion of Obama, you may not be happy that it's happening, but oh well that's life. Suck it up,
