Donald Trump blasted his predecessor Barack Obama for
claiming that he's responsible for creating legislation that caused economic
booms in both of their administrations.
On Monday, Obama tweeted a photo of what appeared to be his
signature at the foot of the Recovery Act, a stimulus package passed in
February 2009.
"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," Barack Obama wrote.
And Trump took to Twitter to slam Obama's claim as a
"con job."
He tweeted: "Did
you hear the latest con job? President Obama is now trying to take credit for
the Economic Boom taking place under the Trump Administration. He had the
WEAKEST recovery since the Great Depression, despite Zero Fed Rate &
MASSIVE quantitative easing. NOW, best jobs numbers...."
In a subsequent
tweet, Trump decried the economic recovery under Obama as the weakest since the
Great Depression of 1929. He also asserted that the US would be in dire
financial straits had the Democratic party won the 2016 presidential election.
He wrote:
"....ever. Had to rebuild our military, which was totally depleted. Fed
Rate UP, taxes and regulations WAY DOWN. If Dems won in 2016, the USA would be
in big economic (Depression?) & military trouble right now. THE BEST IS YET
TO COME. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
