President Trump is lashing out after former President Obama marked the 11th anniversary on Monday of signing a nearly $800 billion stimulus package designed to reverse the effects of the Great Recession.

Washington President Donald Trump is lashing out after former President Barack Obama marked the 11th anniversary on Monday of signing a nearly $800 billion stimulus package designed to reverse the effects of the Great Recession.

"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 wrote on Twitter. Hours later, Trump hit back, accusing his predecessor of a"con job" in"trying to take credit for the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration.

Trump loser again

Obama did it, HE signed the bill and Dump is just riding off the waves from that bill. He's taking credit from what someone else did. Very typical of that looser

It was a waste of money . It did nothing . Handouts to unions .

NObama!!!

lol, Trump is TRIGGERED

Trump is correct. Obama is trying to take credit for something he could never have done. All Obama did was dress up and play president for 8 years.

So then obama should take credit for what’s happening in Chicago right CNN

From a Great Recession to a booming economy and saving the banks and General Motors is a remarkable feat that Trumpski can never match except being impeached and tearing down every good thing Obama did!

$800 billion stimulus bill is AKA the Wall Street bailout. U.S. had slowest recovery in history after that con job. More Ds voted for it than Rs and it was the impetus for Tea Party movmt that got rid of RINOs who did. CNN called it racist to hide that Ds are real Wall St. party

the mandate is what set me off!.. you had to pay a tax penalty for not having Obamacare disaster...with a $4000 deductible...yes a fine for something i never wanted in the first place...unemployment was at 9.9% in VA...Biden wants to bring the mandate back ?

Taking credit for another man's job

No surprise 🤷🏾‍♀️

When is Trump and his minions going to understand that Trump is president and has been for three years; it’s his economy, his foreign policy, his administration, his laws and his mostly unqualified minions in the WH. President Obama has left the building a long time ago.

BHO spent 6 years blaming GW for everything. Now he’s claiming it was all good on his watch, and the next one is his too!

Here are the stats you need to know about the economy under each president:

Obama contributed to this great Economy? Oh okay. But i thought the Economy is not good right now? Whatever.

King Obama choked the economy with regulation after regulation On top of that the highest company taxes on earth. The companies took their ( our USA jobs ) overseas where taxes and regulations were nil. Great job Obama. He wants credit for what?

No confetti shower for this lie. The stimulus propped up government entities and programs. Individuals were an afterthought.

Talking about a very fragile ego!

When Republicans do that it's called 'lashing out' when does the exact same thing it's called 'debunking'....

F' Trump

800 billion that hoped for a better future than this.

The hate and dislike lingers in the WH against the former President of color! C’mon man! Let it go already, please!

The one he said didn’t work like it was supposed to and Joe won’t run on? Gotcha...

Moobs McTrump is the pettiest, most thin-skinned “man” alive. Bush caused another Great Depression. Obama fixed it. Trump wants credit. Here’s how easy it is to prove the stimulus worked:

So trump thinks he can change an economy in 3 years hahahaha

BHO delusions of grandeur....

awareness

realDonaldTrump is such a snowflake.

BarackObama 😍😍😍 hes the hero. 😍😍😍

Why do libs keep wanting to worship Obama and then get mad when you bring up the bullshit he did?

Bout time someone spoke up!

Thank you Pres Bush for The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 which started the recovery Pres Obama is taking credit for.

Don't forget who created the bad economy, a Republican President. Trump tends to forget that. Obama save us.

No. He's not 'lashing out' cnn(fake news central)...hes defending his record. Obama is trying to take credit for what Trump has done with the economy.

Trump is a dink

Democrats said we have a bubble. Democrats said that this economy is only good for the rich. Kamala said this economy is only good for investors, andwe aren't investors.Bernie said this economy impoverish the poor.Biden says that the economy was better when Obama WAS president.

Too bad trump is so stupid he doesnt know it's still Obama's economy

It appears that POTUS O is highly pleased with the economy as it now is. Otherwise, why would he be trying to steal the credit for it? The has no shame. It works to destroy this country, its institutions, traditions, culture while taking credit for the good things others do.

yea, as if he knows what the heck planet he's on. Last President on list of Great Presidents.

Obama says there are no quick fixes for his terrible failing economy As it turns out YES there is Lower taxes Massive deregulation Energy independence As anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows, this work every time.

Trump is literally in lovvvvve w/Obama like my guy we get it you think u’ve done a better job but tbh “U haven’t” 😏🤣

Obama is to funny...😂🤣😂🤣😂

As far as obama claiming this, Let me quote him. 'Those jobs aren't coming back, what's he got, a magic wand?'

CNN. It's just pathetic how you cant even address anything but trashing trump. You are just a propaganda source. Not a news source.

We need Obama back ASAP!

Liars lie, numbers don’t! Trump is trying to be a leader, but he can’t, especially since he has increased the National Debt astoundingly.

🤣🤣🤣Obama was and still is the worst President 😠😠😠

Obama isn’t facing off! He’s just stating facts.

BarackObama gets to claim credit for the strong economy. trump can claim he's been riding Obama's coat tails for three years while making sure the rich get richer and the poor get poorer! TrumpIsAnIdiot

Obama failed miserably in so many ways.

He can't let Obama have any glory because he wants all the glory. Trump is so self-centered and so jealous of anyone better than him. He can't move on from the fact that he isn't the best there ever was. He also can't do much without cheating.

The rogue Hussein Obama said there's no magic wand to raise GDP to the rate Trump said he'd do, Trump did it and Hussain wants to take the credit

Ya’ll that is genuine hate! He loaths the ground BO walks on!He truly cannot stomach the thought that an African American held the highest office. He hates him something fierce!Donnie should eat some soul food meals, perhaps it’ll warm his heart a little lol

Donald Trump is just being jealous and behaving as an imbecile. Statistical analysis of historical economic data proves that the economy under President Obama did perform better than now.

Trump can’t stand Obama’s success in turning the economy around after Bush disaster and that Donny inherited Obama’s sensible reforms to employ over 8.1 million people. Donnys record is 6 million jobs, 1 trillion dollar deficient and 23 trillion dollars of debt!

I can come up with a trillion deficit reasons trump shouldn't be lashing out at Obama over the economy.

You mean picked economic winners and losers with our tax money?

You know what would really be a headline? TODAY, TRUMP DIDNT LASH OUT AT ANTONE OR ANYTHING. Now that right there would be historic!

He has no legacy so he’s trying to grab this one!

And there is Only One that Will tell the Truth

There is no argument Obama has a good, strong, wide-spread & proven economy. Trump has tax kickbacks for his billionaire/millionaire friends. He has low wage, per diem, no benefits, no security jobs. He has more ppl eating from 99 cents stores cause they can't afford groceries.

The American people have created a Satan; the price we will all pay 👀

CNN's version of 'setting the record straight' is 'lashing out'.

I have never seen such penis envy in my life.

God bless you and your family

He gave the money to his pals in banks & Wall Street. THAT didn't help us.

“The Great Recession” , CNN is hilarious.

Remember shovel ready jobs? Where did that money go ? In some Democrats pockets? INVESTAGATION

apparently Trump DID have a magic wand, huh O? trying to take credit for others', like a true commie rat

Obama said Trump would need a magic wand to bring back those jobs. Turns out Trump had one. It's called a spine. Something that weasel Obama never had.

A whale vs a MAN !!!

MakeIt You'd have to be MakeIt Same Michelle who said that she was 'embarrassed' by America? MakeIt Well that’s dumb. And this mantra is only upheld by Sanders.
