It’s Obama’s economy, but Trump takes credit

Posted by | December 27, 2016 10:41 | Filed under: Economy News Behaving Badly Politics

President-elect Donald Trump’s ego is so big he’s taking credit for holiday spending and he’s not even in office yet. Christmas spending has exceeded over $2 trillion since at least 2000, with that number topping $3 trillion in recent years, as John Prager at Addicting Info notes. Nevertheless Trump tweeted, “The world was gloomy before I…

    The current president trolls the (shudder) future president. And it works. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/26/president-obama-says-he-would-have-beaten-trump-if-i-had-run-again/?utm_term=.809063b2ab99

      OT, In the baby daddy post Buford2k11 mentioned Rolling rock and You mentioned Latrobe. You have to be talking about PA. because the landscape looks very familiar. Are you?

      • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 12:48

        No, I’m familiar with beer. That’s where RR is from.

        • Jeanne173 December 27th, 2016 at 13:01

          are you still able to get Rolling rock beer?

            I live in VA, right now I’m in AZ.

            • Jeanne173 December 27th, 2016 at 13:18

              My sister lives in Churchville VA. and a nephew lives in Burke va, both democrats so I know your pain.

              • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 13:25

                NoVa is like a separate state from the rest of Virginia. Always votes Democratic, and the rest goes very red.

                  O K, that explains why Jeff doesn’t say much about it but my sister loves when republicans come to town for a speech. She is the little old white haired lady with the big mouth giving as hard a time as possible. You see, we grew up thinking damnedoldrepublican was one word.

                  • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 13:53

                    It is, just like thatf*ckingtrump.

          • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 13:46

            It’s still being made, but now it’s part of the Anheuser Busch Evil Empire. I just discovered that AB closed the Latrobe brewery in 2006, and it’s made in NJ. Nothing good ever comes when a multinational, multi-billion dollar mega company swallows up a local icon.

    Little Dicky Maggot Trump sure has misplaced huge cringe-worthy ego.
    Truly shameless and crooked in every way.
    Please kill yourself, Maggot!

      He doesn’t need to bother. More than likely, that will be done for him.

  3. oldfart December 27th, 2016 at 11:31

    Fake news…
    Herr tRumpster.

    • mea_mark December 27th, 2016 at 11:33

      It’s not really fake news. Obama is playing head games with the narcissist, that is real news.

  4. StoneyCurtisll December 27th, 2016 at 11:32

    Thanks Obama~!

  5. The Original Just Me December 27th, 2016 at 12:04

    I took a Crap last night. It felt pretty good. I guess I have to thank T. Rump for that ????

    • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 12:49

      Yes, we will have to thank him for a lot of sh*t in the next four years. Or however much he survives before getting impeached.

      • The Original Just Me December 27th, 2016 at 13:06

        The Republican Congress will Never Impeach T. Rump. He IS a Republican no matter how bad He will get. But, as for the Crapola, we can expect it on a Daily basis.

        • Larry Schmitt December 27th, 2016 at 13:11

          Twitter will have to change their name to Crapola.

          • The Original Just Me December 27th, 2016 at 13:13

            I think most of the Intelligent People refer to that site as Crapola anyway.

    Like all demagogues, he’s using his lies as a loyalty test for his followers. He’s exploiting his popularity and abusing the devotion of his fans to force them into going along with his fictions, until they are in so deep psychologically, they have no choice but to carry on

    I assumed the holiday was an expression of love among people as advocated by a guy named Jesus many years ago. He’d puke his holy guts out at the idea of his day being a trillion+$$ shopping spree by gluttons.

    He likes taking credit for the accomplishments of others. He claimed he saved jobs at Ford (lie).
    He took credit for saving jobs at Carrier (a lie).
    He claimed he got Boeing to lower the price of the new AF 1’s (a lie).
    So what else is new.

    • Richard Contreras December 27th, 2016 at 17:59

      Pres. Obama saved the Auto Industry in Detroit,when Romney (a Republican) wanted to see it fail. Obama saved thousands of Jobs, Where was Michigan in the last election? Unemployment at 4.5%, WOW. Trump will wreck it all in a year, if we don’t fight back!

  9. Hirightnow December 27th, 2016 at 15:02

    Does this mean we can also blame him for the deaths of Robert Vaughn, Leon Russel, Carrie Fisher, and everyone else who has died since November 9th?

    When does an economy stop belonging to the previous President, and start belonging to the current President?

    • Richard Contreras December 27th, 2016 at 17:48

      When he takes office…
