Dude, when did Obama, spied on Trump? Or did the Obama administration was spying on someone else, legally, and they got Trump and/or his associates by accident?
You are a loon.
Basically, everyone thinks that Trump is lying and is a loon for saying that Obama spied on him. Even his own party members and supporters are not backing this. This is literally the only place that has any crazy asshats that think that Obama somehow sent wiretaps to Trump Tower to listen in on the guy. Overall, the best evidence that anything happens was that they got some of Trump's people on record talking to others, that they actually DO HAVE A LEGAL WARRANT TO SPY ON because the Russian bank (which is believed to be the ones who the Tump people were talking to) were under sanctions.

You can laugh it off and avoid providing detailed examples of proven Russian behavior known as "active measures" if you'd like but for those paying attention the only thing different about this cycle was the leaking of emails and there has been no definitive proof to say Russia did the hacking that Wikileaks released.

In fact, the FBI were denied access to The DNC server and the only report we have to claim RU did the hacking is from a private firm who have made adaptations to their original report.

Very well, I'll give you an answer...

Your question was asked in the Senate Intelligence office I think today:
When asked by Oklahoma Republican James Lankford, who appeared visibly dismayed, why, if Russians have long used these methods, they finally worked in this election cycle, Watts’ answer was extraordinary.

“I think this answer is very simple and is one no one is really saying in this room,” he said. Part of the reason, he went on, “is the commander in chief has used Russian active measures at times against his opponents.”

To buttress the claim that Trump (unwittingly or not) aided Russian disinformation efforts, Watts cited several instances. Among them: Trump’s citation of an apparently false Sputnik story at an October 2016 campaign appearance; his ongoing denial before and after the campaign of U.S. intelligence of Russian interference in the election; his claims of voter fraud and election rigging, which Watts said was pushed by RT and Sputnik; and Trump’s questioning of the citizenship of former President Barack Obama and even his primary rival Ted Cruz.

Watts added that one of the reasons such tactics are working is that Trump and/or his surrogates have repeated some of the claims, further spreading them through social media accounts that are owned both by real people and bots. Thus, the disinformation is kept alive and gradually becomes more real and plausible. “Part of the reason active measures work is because they parrot the same lines,” Watts said.
See Today’s Russia hearings actually revealed something new and important

I myself remember immediately one fake news from Russian media that Trump tweeted further. Now that was easy to pick up, because the Russian media outlet had just picked one quote from somebody else and referred to it as the sayings of Podesta. And hence it was easy to prove it, as the original person quoted noticed the fabrication.

Or wait a minute. You haven't noticed the love affair Trump had with Putin?

No?

I truly don't remember any Presidential candidate praising a foreign leader as Trump has praised Putin and defended him. They may say a compliment once or twice, but not as in this bromance.
