President Donald Trump brutally trolled former President Barack Obama on Monday night by
using his own words against him.
In a new viral video posted to his Instagram page, Trump seized on Obama's speech on
Friday, where the former president attempted to take credit for the booming economy and
soaring markets.
The video begins with a clip of Obama arrogantly attacking Trump for saying he will bring back
jobs that just won't "come back" to the United States.
"Some of those jobs from the past are just not gonna come back," Obama says in the
clip.
"And when somebody says, 'He's gonna bring all these jobs back,' well how exactly
are you gonna do that?
What are you gonna do?
What magic wand do you have?"
The video then cuts to Trump boasting about bringing back more than 400,000 manufacturing
jobs and creating over four million new jobs since taking office less than two years ago.
"Wages are growing at the fastest pace in nearly a decade," Trump says in the clip,
reading from a report at a campaign-style rally.
"More Americans are employed than ever before in the recorded history of our country."
The video also features economic reports from Fox News and CNBC, where both networks are
touting the Trump administration for having major success in unleashing the American economy.
"The economic boom continues; it's the biggest story of 2018," says White House
economic advisor Larry Kudlow.
"New policies are working."
The post was perfectly captioned, "JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!"
Quite amazing to see that Obama originally claimed there was no way Trump would have
economic and jobs success.
And now, Obama is trying to take credit for the economy and jobs success that has been
booming since Trump took office.
For starters, the Department of Labor announced last month that the U.S. grew at a whopping
4.1 percent GDP in the second quarter, the highest since 2014.
The Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow model now predicts that the U.S. could hit 5 percent
growth in the third quarter.
Trump has created more millions of new jobs since taking office, tax cuts are allowing
more people to keep their hard-earned money, Hispanic and African-American unemployment
is at a historic low, and the markets are roaring.
With Trump on pace to have America average three percent GDP for the entire year, it's
important to note that Obama was the only president to never have one year of 3 percent
GDP growth.
Obama's "recovery" and policies also added nearly $10 trillion to the national
debt, skyrocketing it from $10.66 trillion to $19.997 trillion when he left office.
On top of that, the national unemployment rate has dropped to 3.9 percent, the lowest
in decades.
In July, unemployment for Hispanics a hit a new record low at 4.5 percent, and African-American
unemployment dropped to 5.9 percent, the lowest it's been since 1972.
None of this ever happened under Obama while he was in office for eight years, yet he's
arrogantly trying to take credit for Trump's successes.
And now, in typical Trump fashion, he's using Obama's words against him to completely
embarrass him.
