Donald Trump launched his political career turbocharging the conspiratorial birther movement. Now Trump is trying to keep his presidency afloat with another theory about his predecessor: Obamagate

The “OBAMAGATE!” effort appears no different. It has drawn attention away from the rising coronavirus death toll and a spate of cases within the White House — an inconvenient counterpoint to the president’s insistence that it is safe to return to work. It has provided chum to Trump-boosting pundits. And it portrays Trump as victorious over enemies who are tied to his likely 2020 opponent, Joe Biden.

“This is, I think, the beginning of the story,” Gertz said. “I think that this is coming as Fox News and Trump and Republicans are trying to create space for Attorney General William Barr to announce some sort of sweeping result of the investigation that he and John Durham undertook,” Gertz said. The theory got an injection of new life with the recent release of FBI notes from Flynn’s case and interviews House lawmakers conducted with several Obama figures about the situation. While the documents contained no smoking gun, Trump’s allies haveon several details, including that the FBI was about to close the Flynn case before new evidence prompted officials to keep it open.

For the Trump campaign, though, the upside is they can now counteract Biden’s strategy of affiliating himself with a rather popular ex-president, according to Miller.

It is provable. There is evidence and that something the left has not had

At some point, don’t you have to take ownership?

Theory? Try again!

It’s not a theory. The dishonest leftist democrat media complex propaganda machine is dismissing the facts that have been revealed. More to follow. Hold on to your azz!

Spin it politico

ObamaGate

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Or something like that.

Trump is a prime example of how big lies, repeated often enough, get people to believe that these lies are the truth.

Hillary started the birther movement

Serious question here... why can Trump continue to throw these baseless claims out there? Don’t slander and libel laws apply

Won't work. Americans have had enough of Trump's bullshit.

Politico trying damage control. Won't work. The biggest scandal in American political history is coming to light.

And what did we all end up seeing? A forged birth certificate!

Still awaiting for this “extremely credible source” below...

No matter how many flags he puts back there, he’ll still be the worst human (?) on Earth.

Trump is Hitler in disguise,read the third Reich we are now on chapter 8; instead of sending us tonshowers he is sending us outside,so far over 80k body bags have his name on it

Change theory to false rumours and the title makes sense

Attack lies are Trump’s way to the top 🤷🏾‍♀️ he got in the first time, why not again? In his shallow thinking!

Trump trying to activate lunatic fringe of supporters to armed insurrection and needs to be stopped before people get hurt

Is Obama running for president? If so he has my vote

Politico you are so wrong and Trump is doing what should have been done years ago!

Facts are on POTUS SIDE. LIVE WITH IT.

There’s no such thing called Obamagate 🙄

Trump must, deep down, really hate black people.

Maybe Trump should be looked into the fact that his daughter stayed in Russia for over 3 wks. in October, 2016 at Vladimir Putin's nieces house prior to the 2016 elections. Also that Don Jr., Eric, & Jared, met with a Russian Attorney to get info. on Biden at the same time!

More fake news from the president nice🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

This tweet will not age well 😂 ObamaGate

He is unhealthily attached to Obama, like a tick

Maybe stop reporting on this since it’s complete bullshit? That’s a good idea you can keep. Let’s keep talking about Trump’s disastrous handling of the coronavirus.

Trumpgate. Is more accurate.

What realDonaldTrump really means is Obamahate.

realDonaldTrump that's a tired old shtick just like you, we're all sick and tired of the whining and belly aching.

So why are you helping him amplify this steaming pile of lies?

Meanwhile at the The White House front gate.... Obamagate vs Trumpgate. Obama gate- just leave it open. All are welcome. Trump gate - pull up the drawbridge fill the moat with crocs and sharks ready the fireballs round up the troops. Covfefe!

What about this TrumpGate?

Russiagate is more like birthism than ObamaGate

What rock do you people live under? But since you mention the O word, how is that the SupremeCourt is deciding what Congress can or can't subpoena from Trump, yet Obama has his all personal records permanently sealed? ObamaGate POTUS DonaldJTrumpJr PressSec parscale

AKA: Trumpisjelousandobsessedgate

magahatters be like yay trump

Not a theory. How bout facts!

it must hurt realDonaldTrump that Obama is not as obsessed with him as he is with O.

More lying bullshit from the right.

When you have the facts, it’s NOT a conspiracy

President Trump is a big or should I say a 'huge' liar.

So sad.

Now it’s your turn to play defense. Enjoy!

Trump Gate Did not close the open gates at the border (his biggest promise) not one foot of wall was built and paid for by Mexico. MAGA=MEGA BS you all ate it up and now you have political diarrhea

If there was an Obamagate How does any of that excuse trump’s 3.5 years of failure to get anything done except tax cuts for the rich, rolling back environmental protections so businesses make more money by poisoning the earth

If the CIA can run drugs through Arkansas and accomplish the Oklahoma federal building bombing, they can certainly create a fake plane accident to get rid of Ms Fuddy. Your Info is propaganda to cover for these crimes.

Don’t worry about it....he got Obamacare and Watergate mixed up....these things happen.

Ridiculous. Read this:

Comparing the dumb birther thing to actual government malpractice is quite something

Sad. Sick. Sociopath.

And we shouldn't let him. He is throwing everything and anything to see what sticks. 81,000 dead, this isn't a little thing, we can't shake this off.

ObamaGate is not a mere theory, it's a fact. We have the testimony of his team, taken under oath, to prove it.

Not working. People are not buying it this time around!!

Obama spied and Obama lied.

Have you bothered to ask about declas? Do you realize you’re missing the story of the century?obamagate knowingly

Wondering if people think he’s actually snapped? My prediction is he will incite civil unrest in November.

ObamaGate

I think this one might backfire on him, too obviously contrived.

FakeNewsAlert Clapper, Brennan, Lynch, Power, McCabe, Rice-testified under oath- NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION! Yet publicly they stated there was REAL Evidence! Schiff KNEW there was no evidence also! They LIED to the American People! ObamaGate BidenKnewToo TRAITORS

The Birther movement and OBAMAMAGATE are directly related....BarackObama is our First Fake President & guilty of so many more crimes..... Know your facts because they are one and the same. TRUTH!!

Why do today's reporters think it's ok to endlessly display outright political bias in their reporting? And why do Americans tolerate it? Don't click these links,people. Starve this fucking beast. Corporate media is NOT your friend regardless which side you're on.

Please consider doing some research. There is plenty to convict Barry on, how are you avoiding this vital information?

Correct on both counts

ObamaGate

It’s stupid and desperate, and only his moronic followers will believe it.

Trump losing to Obama's 2.........that's not going to feel good for the big fella.

The only gate we need here is the one at the White House that hits him on the ass on the way out in 2021. Hopefully this country has had enough of the bullsh**ingnt tweeter.

Loooloooolllol!

5000 ways to get rid of countrys leader IF opposition picked this one its the most convoluted hole filled bumbling coup EVER. many more effective ways to accomplish what hes accusing them of The whole thing falls apart when you realize how far you have to stretch to believe it

Funny. But both are probably correct. Sooner or later Trump is always right.
