According to Trump, "Obamagate" was the biggest scandal ever. Why don't we hear about it anymore?

“You accused former President Barack Obama of a crime. What did he do?" trump was asked.
“Obamagate.” trump sniffed as he seemed intent on gathering the musings of his wild imagination; the place where all his wildest dreams come true, a place where he can get unlimited pony rides, where he can bark for carousels, and hand out pretty balloons.
This utter bullshit had been on trump's agenda for several days. The never-too-busy-to-tweet-while-90,000-Americans-were-dying president was on the warpath.
He had nothing better to do but imagine a scandal that he called “Obamagate” or more typically, “OBAMAGATE!” And he insisted it was “the biggest political crime in American history that makes Watergate look small-time.” But he just couldn’t find the words to explain what the damn thing is!
“What is the crime?”
“You know what the crime is," trump replied. “The crime is very obvious to everybody,” he said, before an extended ramble in which he added that whatever the hell “Obamagate” (please excuse my lax approach here. I didn't use all-caps) is, “it’s been going on for a long time and if you look at what’s gone on and you look at now, all this information that’s being released, and from what I understand that’s only the beginning.”
In the real world, Obamagate does not exist. However, the notion; the sounds, the very idea of Obamagate began and ended in trump’s diseased mind..
