Trump throws furious tantrum after Obama takes credit for his strong economic recovery
You knew he couldn’t stay quiet after he saw Barack Obama’s President’s day tweet reminding America of exactly who rescued the nation from the worst recession in more than 70 years.
Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history. pic.twitter.com/BmdXrxUAUf

You can imagine the steam coming out of Donald Trump’s ears and deflating his carefully lacquered comb-over as he read his predecessor’s Twitter post — a post that sent him straight to his likely unsecured iPhone to bang out his resentful retort to the man who handed him a smoothly running job creation machine that he then proceeded to pretend he built himself.
….ever. Had to rebuild our military, which was totally depleted. Fed Rate UP, taxes and regulations WAY DOWN. If Dems won in 2016, the USA would be in big economic (Depression?) & military trouble right now. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!

The lies, projection, and audacity of the biggest con artist in American presidential history denying his predecessor the credit he deserves for turning around an economy destroyed by the last round of republican greed and arrogance are difficult to stomach, but the comments on Trump’s ungrateful and vindictive tweet prove that his own gaslighting isn’t fooling anyone but the people who already swallow his B.S. whole and unfiltered by any reason or facts.
remember when Obama made your green-card trophy wife smile? #ObamaWasBetterAtEverything

Don’t worry, Mr. Trump, you’ve achieved something that very few presidents and not even Barack Obama could accomplish. You got yourself impeached for life. Congratulations, you’ve earned it.

You're always the source of the latest con news. Can't wait until you're one yourself.

Occupy Democrats’ own Brian Tyler Cohen, among others, weighed in with some inconvenient facts that proved that the venomous fluids slipping from Trump’s tiny little Twitter fingers were dripping with envious falsehoods and phony facts.

Why would @BarackObama want to take credit for your so-called "Economic Boom??"
All you have done is….
-caused the national debt to surge
-barely produced 2% GDP
-given tax cuts to the rich
-AND haven't even created as many jobs as Obama ⬇️pic.twitter.com/PnBBpSZ7WM— Samir (@PackersFavreFan) February 17, 2020
Still, you can present actual facts to Trump’s acolytes, and they will deny reality in favor of the president’s lies every time.
Be thankful for your sanity and ability to still resist the mass hallucinations that way too many Americans still experience when they come under the sway of the envious svengali of scams currently desecrating the Oval Office.
