Why Trump might suspect Obama bugged Trump Tower

This piece by the NY Post is an excellent summary of how we got to where we are now since President Trump was elected. 

NY Post Editorial Board

President Trump’s claim that his predecessor bugged Trump Tower during the election has sent the media into fits, wondering where on earth he could’ve gotten such an idea. But it’s all-too-obvious why Trump would be suspicious.

Saturday, the prez tweeted that ex-President Barack Obama had “my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!” Sunday, he called for a congressional probe.

The anti-Trump press was apoplectic, calling the claim “unsupported.” And it’s true that Trump didn’t detail any evidence to back up the charge.
But let’s face it: From the day Trump won election, his foes have waged a by-any-means-necessary campaign to overturn the results.

Officials (likely Obama-era holdovers) have broken the law and leaked what they hoped would be damaging info. Groups tied to Obama have stirred up angry protests against Trump and other Republicans.
