TRUMP claimed the Obama administration had wiretapped Trump Tower – prompting the former president to break his silence to issue a categorical denial.
In between attacking various news outlets for “fake news”, Trump also began the process of repealing Obamacare and found time for a Twitter spat with Arnold Schwarzenegger over their ratings on The Apprentice.
Lies of the month: March 4 tweet on wire-tapping: “This is McCarthyism.” Obama and the FBI denied the claims.
“NATO, obsolete, because it doesn’t cover terrorism.” NATO invoked its collective defence clause for the first and only time in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
