Summary

Trump is now accusing Barack Obama of treason. Why? Supposedly for trying to influence the 2016 election. Let’s be honest, this isn’t about national security. It’s about distraction. The Epstein file scandal is closing in, MAGA is in meltdown mode, and Trump is flailing. So what’s the move? Classic autocrat playbook. Point fingers at your predecessor and scream “treason.” Let's unpack the desperate deflections, the baseless accusations, and the terrifying implications of a former president weaponizing the word "treason" like it’s just another Truth Social buzzword.
