Trump didn't exactly take credit but was sharing the good news. Was the media just as hard on Obama accepting the Nobel Peace Prize while doing nothing to earn it? Keep it up media you are becoming more and more irrelevant.
If they had gone up, it would be Trump’s fault.
If it goes up, it’s Trump’s fault.
If it goes down, he gets the credit.
That is the way the game is played, people.
By May we’ll be seeing articles like...
Shoe Laces, Is Trump Praiseworthy in Their Improvement?
Fewer Snail Trails, Trump Claims Too Much Credit!
Baseball Season, is Trump the Reason Another Season is Upon Us?
Yes, these and many more hard hitting investigative reports will be showered upon us, as the Left becomes more and more irrelevant.
I do hope they can continue to get the third grade editor to continue to approve their insightful articles.
This is the kind of stuff that Trump does that drives me crazy...
Considering this is a world wide success story how can Trump imply he was the reason
If he’d do something about the TSA I’d be happy to cheer him on.
AP, I don’t GAS what you think, presidents own all the bad stuff that happens on their watch and get to claim credit for the good.
That’s the way it went with Ødungo and that’s the way it goes with Trump.
Looks like he was claiming some credit - why was last year the best and safest on record?
But that's Trump, and people knew that from the election. It didn't matter then, it doesn't matter now.
My entirely subjective first reaction to this ammouncement is that it is a prelude to an entirely different announcement. The announcement is relatively banal and the facts it presents are relatively banal. Therefore IMHO Trump might be on the verge of announcing a real demonstrably changed statistic, such as “the number of federal indictments is up 900% over previous years’ rates.” And then hold the MSM’s feet to the fire if they omit reporting the announcement. The MSM would be hypocritical if it called attention to this announcement as not reporting change so much as a continuation of the status quo, and then ignoring an announcement containing a real change. I guess we will just wait and see...
BTW I noticed that the WH press seemed much more subdued today towards Sanders than some recent previous press conferences. Is the MSM finally backing off and taking Trump’s presidency seriously instead of just heaping scorn on it?
AssPress (aka AmericanPravda) can’t claim credit for checking facts
I’m inclined to agree...not *full* credit at least.However,we all know that the guy who claimed the power to stop the rise of sea levels wouldn’t hesitate to claim *full* credit...over,and over,and over again.
They would have given Zero the credit in a heartbeat.
Trump does what Trump does just to piss off people who hate him.
