    It seems very unlikely that Trump would be an exception to the rule. My question is "Why would the Obama administration spy on everybody but Trump?"

    According to Trump that is England. According to England that is La-La Land otherwise known as the empty vacuum between Trumps ears.

    Trump is not man-enough. His constituents elected a draft-deferring coward.

    Well to be honest, nobody really knows what the English are saying. We can only assume that is what they are saying. Their accents are almost as insufferable as those in the rest of the UK.

    Your poll is not a legitimate poll because:

    1.) Your OP requires agreeing with you that Trump lied about wiretapping/surveillance as the basis for voting in the poll.

    2.) Your poll is inherently based on a false premise as Trump, in fact, has apologized. He apologized for his "locker room talk" of the old video. Since has apologized, the answer is yes, he it is known he can apologize because he has apologized in the past.

    You limit the poll question to your OP declaring it fact that Trump lied about wiretapping - meaning you are claiming he knew it never happened at the time he posted those tweets - and you have nothing to show that he did. In fact, he was citing published newspaper articles that stated it had happened. Citing a newspaper article that turns out to be inaccurate does not a make a person a liar as you claim. Lying is knowingly and deliberately saying something that you know is false, not saying something that can not be proven accurate while quoting what others have stated as fact. Nor has it been proven that his phones were not wiretapped. Rather, it only has not been proven that they were.

    Obama said insurance premiums would go down and people could keep their doctors and plans. All that was false. He never apologized. Can you point to any opinion poll thread you started asking if President Obama is incapable of apologizing? If not, why not?

    No it is not. The question is does President Trump believing what he read in major newspaper publications and reciting it make him a liar because what the newspapers and then he said can not be either proven or disproven?

    If you cite the media on something and it turns out to be inaccurate or uncertain, are therefore a liar? That is how the poll is constructed, plus ignores that Donald Trump while a candidate in fact had apologized.

    Would a poll asking if you will ever post anything on the forum be legitimate, when in fact you already have?

    Now that was an unnecessarily nasty remark.

    Nothing has been presented showing his statement was false nor that he deliberately made a false statement. Your poll question is worded wrongly and in a pointedly partisan bias manner.

    It is the old "Do you still beat your wife? Yes or No" tactic, which is neither clever nor a legitimate question because of the asserted premise of the question. Nor does lack of evidence that a person did not beat his wife therefore constitute proof that he did as you assert in your OP.

    It is interesting how media that tends to be pro Democrat likes to put on people with English accents.

    Obviously Trump will never admit he is wrong.

    He conned over 60 million people into believing 1+1=3.

    Why would he ever admit he is "wrong" about anything.

    His uneducated/low-information base doesn't care if he's wrong.

    Who really cares ? I doubt Obama will ever apologize to we the people for the past 8 years. I can't remember Obama ever admitting that he was wrong . Even when Americans voted against his foolish agenda he toured the earth telling anyone with ears how he is still right. Who knows , maybe it is a trait of presidents . Maybe I will look into it . Not sure I care!

    You realize you can swap Obama's name for Trump's in your little rant and it would be true as fire.

    US spies warned their Israeli counterparts that Russia may have “levers of pressure” over Donald Trump and told them to be careful about sharing intelligence with the White House in case it was passed on to the Kremlin, according to Israeli media reports.

    The American intelligence officials reportedly told the Israelis not to share sensitive information with Mr Trump’s aides until the incoming president’s relationship with Russia had been fully investigated.

    The claim was made in the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth and cannot be confirmed.

    I can't shake my vision of Trump as the Mad Hatter since reading his "catastrophic" tweets about Obamacare.

    The collective dispatches propaganda drones to constantly make lame threads like this to keep the "hate" burning. These threads are more for them and to keep their side motivated rather then argue with us. I don't think they will be able to keep it up. These "hate" threads get dumber and dumber.

    You don't need to care - but your attempted deflection would suggest otherwise.

    Your speculations concerning the veracity and capacity to admit error of Barack Obama - or Franklin Pierce or Millard Filmore, for that matter - has no bearing upon whether Donald Trump can admit ti being wrong when he has been exposed as being wrong in accusing an ex-president of committing a felony.

    You may be upset that neither he, his minions, nor American intelligence and law enforcement agencies have, despite their best efforts, been able to offer any more evidence of his having spoken the truth than if he had claimed that aliens from space were continually subjecting him to anal probes.

    That would be acknowledging that your messiah is a flawed individual, and the cult of Trumpery cannot accept that demonstrable reality.

    Or it was a joke and you have no sense of humor...or if you are British, humour as the more extra letters you add to a word the longer you can drag it out to try and sound posh.
