Trump campaign fires back after Obama claims credit for economic boom
Fox News ^ | February 17, 2020 | Brooke Singman

The Trump campaign fired back Monday after former President Barack Obama, in a subtle swipe at President Trump, claimed credit for the economic gains in both their terms.

Obama tweeted Monday morning to note the anniversary of his signing the 2009 economic stimulus package.

“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,” Obama tweeted, alongside a photo of his signature on the bill.

But the Trump campaign, in a statement to Fox News, countered that the economy is only recovering because of the actions Trump took to undo his predecessor's policies.

“President Trump reversed every single failed Obama-era economic policy, and with it, reversed the floundering Obama/Biden economy,” Trump campaign national press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said. “Obama and Biden orchestrated the worst economic recovery in modern history.”

She added: “By contrast, though, deregulating, lowering taxes, and supporting free-market policies, President Trump has created the hottest economy on record, with unemployment hitting generational lows and all-time lows for African Americans, Hispanics, the disabled, veterans and many other hard-working Americans.”

A nice clip of Obama saying “He didn’t build that” would be really fun to make a campaign video out of.

I believe a deliberate, panic attack by the Kenyan Obammy to get Trump to attack him personally so that it would alienate black voters... the ones that Trump is gradually winning over...

Donald Trump's super power is his ability to cause people to reveal themselves.

I feel the same way, and refer to Trump as the great unmasker. -Tom

For BHO to give a sperm sample he’d have to ask Moochele.

The Democrats have a new campaign slogan: “Vote for us so we can make the next guy look good!”

Our wonderful President Trump found the magic wand.

Now our disgusting community organizer of 8 years can eat crap. Obama was so out of his league and sucked more as President than he did in those Chicago bath houses can STFU.

1. Day after election stock market goes up significantly
2. Deregulation happening everywhere
3. Tax cuts
4. The combination of these with resulting *optimism* has driven the economy.

Sorry Mr. Zero - if you’d stayed in office none of this would have happened.

Leftards are kidding themselves if they actually believe him.

I was working as an Engineer in a private consulting firm. We had more than 1 client tell us if Hillary had won they would not be developing any of their properties. This started the day after the election and hasn’t let up since.

This should be camera ready copy for the rest of 2020:

Obama: How are you going to do that?

Obama is an insufferable, and unethical, narcissist.

I think PDJT should have tweeted, “let’s see, Obama, the community organizer built the economy, but me, the highly successful business didn’t?...no, Obama, you didn’t build that”

That piece of flesh took credit for everything he thought was a good thing... he did not take credit for spying on a Presidential candidate and President elect Trump!

Dershowitz has come out saying he has proof on obama... little by little, there are some who are not scared to say obama was in it up to his neck... if you follow obama’s tracks and habits... he was in everything that went on and all that went on was crooked.. corrupt... he didn’t know any other way.
ya know, when a person is crooked, he thinks everyone else is and acts accordingly..if he can’t be trusted himself... he doesn’t trust anyone else either...

And obama did NOTHING for the economy and nothing for the people... he said America’s best days were over .. I love that piece of tape where he asks how does Trump plan on bringing those jobs back? it can’t be done.... under obama, no, it couldn’t be done! so don’t take credit for the good days in America!

Meanwhile, everything bad in the 0bama presidency was George Bush’s fault. (or maybe climate change?)

Obama equals parasite - an opportunist that lives on others. Once again Odumbo claims he is responsible for the economic boom. The Recovery Act was a bust. Remember Odumbo said the manufacturing jobs will never come back. Trump said manufacturing jobs are back and manufacturers are back. Why have China and Mexico make everything? Made in China and Hencho in Mexico are labels that should go away.

Soon Michigan will be an assembly plant for electric vehicles with the parts shipped from China and assembled in Michigan with 2000 jobs made. Why not make the parts here? Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes parts are manufactured in China. GM parts made in Mexico and China. More parts should be made here. I remember the stamp on the steel rims on my Ford Ranger - Made in Brazil
