On Saturday, Trump expressed support for the belief that he saw on Fox News, that the Russia investigation is an Obama conspiracy to get him.

Trump is mentally fading fast
What is an avid Fox News viewer like Trump to do when the Special Counsel is closing in on him, and the Russia scandal is about to hit the fan? He pulls a page out of the Fox News playbook and blames Obama. The belief that the Russia scandal is a conspiracy against him follows along with Trump’s belief that Obama wiretapped him in Trump Tower.

The Russia investigation is the byproduct of Trump’s own actions and efforts to obstruct justice. Congress must act to protect Robert Mueller, and it is time for serious Americans to demand Trump’s removal from office.
