In 2016, Obama asked what magic wand Donald Trump has to bring jobs back to America because they aren’t going to just come back. Two years later, Obama is taking credit for the jobs President Trump is bringing back.

The economy is blistering hot!! Yet the Hill wants to bash Trump and give credit to Obama. I am certain that there are a few liberals whom read and feel assured that the Hill is not misleading them, but for the rest of us, the Hill has just managed to prove Trump correct about the media again. PS. The Hill fails to mention that Manufacturing jobs are UP, and not just a little since Trump came into office. I suspect that Government jobs, especially federal government jobs, are actually down. The Hill just ignores the news that doesn't serve the leftist agenda......how typical.

See. This is why only professional journalists should be permitted to “curate” the news. So that history is not available to just anybody.

FTA: “Trump misquoted Obama’s June 2016 criticism...”

Yeah, he does that intentionally because he knows his perma-critics will jump on it and give additional attention to the actual quote, showing the Zerobama is a clueless sack of meat trying to claim credit for what he claimed couldn’t happen.

He gets a small detail wrong to use his critics to amplify the reality of the larger point.

In a Monday tweet, Trump misquoted Obama’s June 2016 criticism of his economic agenda that came shortly after Trump had all but officially clinched the Republican presidential nomination. Trump quoted Obama as saying, “President Trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% GDP,” at a PBS Newshour town hall event in 2016. He was paraphrasing, you idiot...

Pubbies have gold in them thar videos of Obama and his ‘new normal’.

They do need to collect those various Obama videos/audios before the videos/audios get ‘lost’ in an internet cleansing.

It does take a lot of gall for Obama to claim responsibility for the current economy, considering how stagnant the economy was for 8 years during his presidency — even with massive bailouts.

Good.

President Trump is more than justified to stick those GDP and other economic numbers in his face.

This is why we elected “The Donald”.

Obama hasn’t recognized that we are making STEEL and mining COAL again in America. “Those jobs are not coming back” he told America. How bloody wrong he was.

Clinton wanted to continue the insane democrat war on coal, gas & oil and globalism. Even told the coal miners she was going to put them out of business (dumb move). The democrat war against fossil fuels was actually a war against industry and against capitalism. Can’t have profitable industry without abundant supplies of inexpensive energy and capital. Our capitalistic free market economy is fueled by coal, gas & oil. The democrat goal is to destroy capitalism, so they can roll out full-blown socialism. And there goes the ballgame.

At this point you have to believe that Trump makes these “errors” on purpose. He says (or tweets) something that’s generally true, but off in some key detail. The press spends a few days debunking the error, all the while reinforcing the general truth underneath it.

I guess that a tax cut is a “magic wand”.

All I heard from those two ex-Resident’s speeches was ‘Whatever good is happening is because of me, and whatever nefarious thing I did I am accusing the President of doing.’ Typical O-BS-er’s BS!

All Leftists in the Media, Entertainment, and political sphere HATE Trump for the simple reason that he committed the cardinal sin of ridicule against them, but the irony is, he never had to even open his mouth.

He let his actions do the talking.

In an era where everything is recorded for posterity and replayable online, the old leftist way of saying things and having it forever obscured by time to prevent people from ever seeing again how much of a fool you are...IS DEAD.

Now, all you have to do is type in a search engine “2016 election” and you are treated to terabytes of video that shows leftists of all stripes being utter fools, and it can’t be erased (yet)

When Obama went on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and they all had a great laugh at the ineptitude, unlikability, and the utterly impossible thought that Trump would get elected by watching Obama responding to Trump’s recent tweet “President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States”.

Obama read it aloud, and putting on that thin-skinned, angry, arrogant face we have all come to know, said “Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down as a president.” and drops the microphone at the end, still wearing that stupid, arrogant face.

Well.

Can’t go back and delete it now, can you? And all the people saying similar things. They all have to eat it, every day. They cannot go back in time and un-say their stupidity and arrogance.

How they can show their faces in public is beyond me, but they do. How anyone can take them seriously after that is a puzzle, but people apparently do in some cases.

But that is why they hate and despise Trump.

Nit meet pick!

We are in campaign mode leading up to the mid-terms. All truth meters should be turned off to protect from overloads.

Mr. Obama did use the term “magic wand” in a mocking way towards Mr. Trump during the previous campaign in reference to the economy.

It is within the bounds of political speech to twist words to embarrass you opponent per the Democrat rule book.

So I don’t believe President Trump broke any rules. /s

Drop mic and walk away...
