'Disgraceful': Trump Shares Tweet Slamming Obama Over Taking Credit For His Successes
- 6 years ago
President Trump retweeted a post slamming former President Obama.
President Trump on Saturday shared a tweet that accuses former President Obama of taking credit for the current administration's successes--a move which was termed "disgraceful."
The original message was posted by conservative commentator Eric Bolling who had gone on to list Trump's accomplishments as:"-Unemployment Rate-GDP-Wage Growth-# Blacks Employed-# Hispanics Employed-# Women Employed-ISIS Wins-Homegrown Terror Events."
Bolling then went on to point out two of Obama's attributes: "-Slick Speaking-School Shootings."
The ex-Fox News host's tweet comes on the heels of a scathing speech Obama gave about President Trump and Republican lawmakers on Friday.
"He is a symptom, not the cause," Obama said during his address to students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "He's just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years — a fear and anger that's rooted in our past, but also born out of the enormous upheavals that have taken place."
"The status quo pushes back," Obama also stated. "Sometimes the backlash comes from people who are genuinely, if wrongly, fearful of change. More often it's manufactured by the powerful and the privileged who want to keep us divided and keep us angry and keep us cynical because it helps them maintain the status quo and keep their power and keep their privilege. And you happen to be coming of age during one of those moments."
