President Donald Trump not only continues to imply that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phone when Trump was a candidate, but when pressed for proof—which everyone, including his staff, knows doesn’t exist—Trump grew angry and ended the interview.

“He was very nice to me, but after that, we’ve had some difficulties,” said Trump. “So, it doesn’t matter. You know, words are less important to me than deeds, and you saw what happened with surveillance.”
Dickerson then asked Trump for evidence—you know, proof of these claims he continuously makes that the former president wiretapped him during his 2016 presidential campaign—and Trump grew angry, insisting, “Our side has been proven very strongly.”

And as a reporter, I shouldn’t have to take it anyway, since I’m in front of the president who keeps making these fictitious claims.” And that’s when Trump ended the interview because, of course, his orange ass did.
