Another day, another baseless allegation from President Donald Trump.

After audio leaked of former President Barack Obama calling the Trump administration's bungled response to the national health crisis in the United States a "chaotic disaster" the President soon went berserk on Twitter.


Trump claimed that "Obamagate" was the biggest crime in American political history.

There's just one problem. When asked by White House correspondents at a Monday press briefing what exactly Obama had done, Trump couldn't name a specific offense.

Watch below.

The first time the question was asked, Trump gave a rambling response:

"Obamagate. It's been going on for a long time. It's been going on from before I even got elected and it's a disgrace that it happened, and if you look at what's gone on and if you look at now, all this information that's being released, and from what I understand that's only the beginning."
"Some terrible things happened and it should never be allowed to happen in our country again...and I wish you'd write honestly about it, but unfortunately you choose not to do so."

White House Bureau Chief for The Washington Post, Phillip Rucker, asked again what specifically was the crime committed by President Obama only for Trump to reply:

"You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody. All you have to do is read the newspapers, except yours."

While Trump's supporters may buy into accusations that Trump can't back up or even idenitify, others aren't.





People began guessing what the so-called "crime" could be.



Let it go, Donald.

Hillary Clinton's 2016 Speech Predicting How Trump Would Behave As President Just Resurfaced—And Wow

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
