Just found out that Obama had my &#8216;wires tapped&#8217; in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!&quot; Trump tweeted early Saturday morning <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">If true, however doubtful, Obama would have gotten a court order from FISA. I see that as fully justified by Trump&#8217;s involvement with Putin (R-RU). <strong>RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/humor\/borowitz-report\/trump-orders-all-white-house-phones-covered-in-tin-foil\" target=\"_blank\">The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/font>In a frenzy of early-morning activity on Saturday, President Donald J. Trump ordered aides to immediately cover every phone in the White House with tin foil, White House sources confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the sources, Trump contacted staffers Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer at approximately 6 A.M. and instructed them to purchase enough tin foil to cover every phone in the building.<\/p>\n<p>The President, still wearing his bathrobe after what was reportedly a sleepless night, personally supervised the tin-foil installation, sources said.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">LOL Andy!!
