Barack H. Obama tries taking credit for soaring economy—President Trump demolishes him

On Monday, former President Brack Hussein Obama tried to take credit for President Trump’s successful economy, but President Trump was not having any of it.

Obama posted on Twitter with a photograph of a pen he signed the “Recovery Act,” which cost the nation around $800 billion to try and recover the failing economy. Obama wrote, “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.”

After outrage from conservatives over Obama trying to take credit for President Trump’s successful economy, which has hit record after record, President Trump took to Twitter to clap back and set the record straight. 

Trump wrote, “Did you hear the latest con job? President Obama is now trying to take credit for the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration. He had the WEAKEST recovery since the Great Depression, despite Zero Fed Rate & MASSIVE quantitative easing. NOW, best jobs numbers 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!
