Comedian Wanda Sykes Bluntly Sums Up What Trump's 'Obamagate' Is All About—And She's Spot On

As the United States faces an unprecedented moment in history, with millions of Americans out of work and kept in their homes under social distancing orders, the President continues obsessing over debunked conspiracy theories.


Trump's latest fixation seems to be "Obamagate" a repeatedly-disproven conspiracy theory that's almost too strange and convoluted to follow. President Trump himself even seems unable to define exactly what it is he believes President Obama did that was illegal.

But, as is often the case, the comedians of the world have been the most adept at summing up the facts of the issue. Wanda Sykes explained what Obamagate is actually about on Instagram.


Sykes wasted no time in unravelling the great mystery of Obamagate, saying:

"I'm sure a lot of you are asking 'what is this Obamagate?' Well, let me explain it to you. So, in 2008, Barack Obama won the presidential election and he was black."
"He served two terms and today he is still black. So there you have it. Obamagate is some old bullsh*t."


Many people believe the President is suddenly making such a big stink about "Obamagate" to deflect attention away from his administration's mishandling of the pandemic.



As always, Twitter loved Sykes for her brutal honesty.



If there's one thing we all know President Trump won't do, it's produce any evidence whatsoever of his claims.


For some reason, President Trump is convinced his greatest enemy is a President who left office nearly four years ago.


Wanda Sykes has spoken, everyone, so now we can finally put Obamacare to bed once and for all.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
