Michael Medved: There’s something deeply wrong

Mar 6, 2017, 5:04 PM | Updated: 5:21 pm

“There’s something wrong. There’s something deeply wrong.”

KTTH’s Michael Medved is disturbed by President Trump’s Saturday morning tweets accusing President Obama of wiretapping his phones at Trump Tower. He reminded KIRO Radio’s Ron and Don that it was less than a week ago the same president delivered a normal, presidential speech in front of Congress.

“It was solid and it was optimistic,” Medved said. “And I think it reassured a lot of people. The markets loved it.”

The KTTH host is horrified that the president was awake at 6:30 a.m. EST tweeting about his predecessor with that tone.

“This especially after — remember how lavishly appreciative Trump was about the graciousness with which Obama conducted the transition — that’s inappropriate.”

Medved said that no one with ties to Trump has come forward since the allegations to provide evidence of wire tapping.

“It’s very problematic if you have someone that careless as President of the United States — that careless with the truth,” Medved said. “You’re President of the United States!”
