about

A compilation of comedic reactions to President Donald Trump's short-lived obsession withi 'Obamagate' in 2020 which he tweeted about in all caps one day, but could never articulate what it was all about. Humorists and pundits alike (except for those at Fox-News) generally observed that Trump dreamed up the faux scandal to try and pass the buck and distract from his poorly regarded response to the coronavirus crisis at the time.

With commentary by Jimmy Kimmel and Late Night's Seth Meyers who both presents further clips. Also presented is the note-perfect, exquisitely produced and performed song parody 'Distraction!' (a spoof of the song 'Tradition!' from the Broadway musical 'Fiddler on the Roof') by Randy Rainbow, the video of which is available here:

The significance of "I like turtles" is that is a very old meme. Mitch McConnell is frequently compared to a turtle.

Nobody ever did figure out what "Obamagate" was supposed to be about.
