President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday morning, calling on Congress to investigate the post-presidency activities of Barak Obama and his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama.
The president said that the House Judiciary Committee has “given up on the Mueller Report,” and called on the House to investigate the “Obama Book Deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal,” and “all the deals made by Dems in Congress, the ‘Congressional Slush Fund.'”

House Judiciary has given up on the Mueller Report, sadly for them after two years and $40,000,000 spent – ZERO COLLUSION, ZERO OBSTRUCTION. So they say, OK, lets look at everything else, and all of the deals that “Trump” has done over his lifetime. But it doesn’t….

….work that way. I have a better idea. Look at the Obama Book Deal, or the ridiculous Netflix deal. Then look at all the deals made by the Dems in Congress, the “Congressional Slush Fund,” and lastly the IG Reports. Take a look at them. Those investigations would be over FAST!

At this time, it is unclear if Trump is serious about wanting Congress to investigate the Obamas or if he was simply making a hyperbolic joke to expose what he sees as an unfair investigation led by Special Council Robert Mueller.
A few hours after sending out the first texts, the president doubled down with more.
They failed on the Mueller Report, they failed on Robert Mueller’s testimony, they failed on everything else, so now the Democrats are trying to build a case that I enrich myself by being President. Good idea, except I will, and have always expected to, lose BILLIONS of DOLLARS..

….for the privilege of being your President – and doing the best job that has been done in many decades. I am far beyond somebody paying for a hotel room for the evening, or filling up a gas tank at an airport I do not own. These Radical Left Democrats are CRAZY! Obama Netflix?

Trump hasn’t been afraid to express negative opinions about the Obama family in the past. When the two families met on Trump’s inauguration day, several awkward moments occurred, including a few interactions between current First Lady Melania Trump and Michelle Obama.
