Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy, who is friends with President Trump, reports that Trump told him that everything he tweeted about Obama and wiretaps will be “proven right“:
I spoke with the President twice yesterday about the wiretap story. I haven’t seen him this pissed off in a long time. When I mentioned Obama “denials” about the wiretaps, he shot back: “This will be investigated, it will all come out. I will be proven right.”
CNN’s Brian Stelter followed up with Ruddy, adding at the end of this clip that Trump “is pissed at what’s going on”:
New: Ruddy tells me Trump "seemed soooo confident it was true," he's "very confident he will be proven right." https://t.co/wVTzZXIM1p

The NYT’s Maggie Haberman also reported that Trump was “frustrated” that surrogates and staffers didn’t do a good enough job defending him on the Sunday shows:
Trump was frustrated by the Sunday shows today/felt people didn't defend him strongly enough on his Obama claim, per ppl close to him.

And more on Trump’s mood from Washington Post’s Robert Costa:
Trump woke up in good spirits, per his confidants. Read the papers and watched early cable shows, liked that they covered his allegations.

Well, at least it’s Sunday night and the president can get some rest and cool down…
