The former president allegedly taking credit for accomplishments of the former-former president? How the hell is this relevant today? It beats talking about Biden anyway.

Trump had no accomplishments.
Zero
Zilch
Nada
The only accomplishments Trump had are delusions that exist only in the minds of the Magats.
GDP Growth Under Trump Was the Worst Since Hoover
The pandemic was partly to blame, and there are some measures that make his record look better. But it was not a stellar performance.www.bloomberg.com
How GDP Growth Under Trump Compares To Clinton, Obama And Other Presidents
With the presidential election less than a week away, Americans are weighing the two presidential candidates and choosing which is best for the country over the next four years --if they haven't already voted.One way they can do that is by looking back on the first term of President Donald Trump...www.yahoo.com
Trump boasts the economy reached historic heights during his first term. Here are 9 charts showing how it stacks up to the Obama and Bush presidencies.
The economy under President Trump before the pandemic largely grew at the same pace as it did under Barack Obama.www.businessinsider.com
AP FACT CHECK: Biden overstates his record on COVID vaccine
President Joe Biden botched the numbers behind the COVID-19 vaccine rollout Thursday as he stretched to take all the credit for the surge of shots once he was in office. Biden is overstating his part. Nearly 16 million doses had been administered by Jan. 20, the day Biden took office.

Just like Joe lied about his college accomplishments. Or meeting Mandela. Or his athletic skills.
Or his dealings in China. Hunter's Ex-Business Partner Says Joe Biden Lied About Business Deals In China, FBI Has Proof.
Or Joe's career on the Delaware university football team (which never happened).
How can one man lie so boldly and consistently?

What a total nutbag you are.Claude A. Clegg III's book "The Black President: Hope and Fury in the Age of Obama" accomplishes various things. Foremost among them, it serves as an antidote to Donald Trump's gaslighting. Clegg, a history professor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, first explores how Barack Obama's presidency was experienced by the Black community, an issue central to any account of the Obama era. In addition, Clegg punctures many of the myths about Obama's administration that have been endlessly repeated by Trump and his right-wing allies.
When Obama took office in 2009, America was teetering on the verge of economic collapse. The Illinois Democrat's policies not only prevented another Great Depression, but saved multiple industries and put the country on a path to long-term prosperity.
Trump inherited that economy and falsely claimed credit for it, over and over again, during his single term in office. With the unwitting complicity of the media, which obsessed over his every move, Trump then tried to erase Obama's other achievements — both as policies and from the public's memory — so they would either disappear forever or, if they happened to be popular, get attributed to him.
Obama's record on issues from immigration to foreign policy has either been downplayed or revised. His presidency was virtually scandal-free, while Trump's resulted in two impeachments for highly justifiable reasons, a fact no one bothers to mention. This kind of gaslighting can only succeed when there is a narrative void, one which malicious actors operating in bad faith can take license to fill with self-serving revisionism.
Clegg's book is a comprehensive rebuttal to those efforts, and it comes not a moment too soon. While Obama was certainly not a perfect president, he was more successful at pushing through liberal policies than any president of the previous half-century. His election in 2008 and subsequent success at governing appeared to forge a viable long-term political coalition, forcing the far right to resort to literal fascist techniques in order to short-circuit an era of likely Democratic dominance.
If the story of the early 21st century is going to be told correctly, Obama's leadership needs to be remembered. He came close enough to dashing the dreams of economic and social reactionaries that they elected a sub-Paris Hilton reality TV star trafficking in demonstrable lies as a panicked last effort to alter the course of history.
In so many words: Obama succeeded, if not entirely in the way he had hoped. If liberals want to again capture political momentum, they can't allow the lessons of his presidency to be lost and distorted.
I spoke to Clegg recently about his book and the Obama legacy....

Excellent interview. My next book read.
Barry declared that life without manufacturing companies here in the United States was 'The New Norm', and he stopped trying to bring them back to the US. Trump promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US, to put Americans back to work. Obama mocked Trump and asked what kind of magic Trump had he thought he could use to accomplish this...
Not only did Trump bring manufacturing jobs back set these records:
Lowest unemployment rate for Blacks in US history
Lowest unemployment rate for Latinos in US history
Lowest unemployment rate for Asians in US history
Lowest unemployment rate for Women in US history
Lowest unemployment rate for young adults in US history
Most Americans working at 1 time in US history
Higher paying jobs, raises, bonuses, more opportunity to advance
During Barry's time in office, he and Democrats forced a minority-supported Obamacare agenda down the throats of the majority of Americans who did not want it. In trying to convince Americans to suport it Barry lied his ass off:
- It will not cost a dime.
- It will pay for itself.
- If you like your plan / doctor you can keep them.
- It will lower the cost of health care premiums.
WHEN HE AND DEMOCRATS RAMMED HIS MASSIVE PORK-PACKED, SELF-ENRICHING DEFICIT-SPENDING BILL THE GOP DID NOT ADD 1 SINGLE PIECE OF PORK TO THE BILL, A BILL BARRY CLAIMED WOULD FUND THOUSANDS OF 'SHOVEL-READY' JOBS ALL OVER THE U.S.
- After it was passed, Obama had to admit publicly THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A SHOVEL-READY JOB,
EVERY BIT OF WHAT HE SAID WAS BULLSHIT / A LIE.
BIDEN
In August 2020, then-candidate Biden told Americans they could not trust a vaccine that was being produced by Trump’s Operation Warp Speed. “It’s not likely to go through all the tests and the trials that are needed to be done,” Biden said, slandering the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He also said Trump was “moving it quicker than the scientists think it should be moved,” falsely claiming the authority of science.
- He and Democrats, to include his chosen VP, Harris, did more to undermine trust in the vaccine than anyone.
-- Once in office Biden claimed credit for the vaccines, declaring the vaccines did not exist until he was sworn into office.
Since then he has used COVID-19 as a weapon against the American people - he has divided the nation, damaged the economy, gotten thousands of Americans fired, ripped the country apart with his Un-Constitutional and Illegal quarantine, mask, and vaccine mandates.
NOW Biden is declaring his $5.5 TRILLION dollar 'Reconciliation' bill, filled with MASSIVE self-serving/enriching pork, COSTS ZERO - IT WON'T ADD ONE DOLLAR TO THE DEFICIT = THAT IT IS ALREADY PAID FOR.
- This, of course, is bullshit - a MASSIVE LIE.
Does any idiot on this board believe a $5.5 TRILLION dollar spending bill will add ZERO to the deficit?
Biden and Democrats do NOT have that paid for - they have a plan to 'Tax The Rich' to pay for it. It won't work!
There were 12 nations whose tax program was to tax the rich - this same scheme - in 2019. Today there are only 5 because 7 learned its a failed program that does not work. 3 of the other 5 are reportedly considering abandoning it. (I created a separate thread on this if you are interested.)
Obama and Biden make Trump look like a friggin' GENIUS!

Biden is following Obama's playbook. Credit is as credit does. Obama hindered growth.
The US domestic oil production doubled during the Obama years.

What manufacturing returned to the US?
Thank you for oil companies and private land, not federal land.The US domestic oil production doubled during the Obama years.
Not because he wanted it too. If it wasn't for fracking on private land. It wouldn't have happened.The US domestic oil production doubled during the Obama years.
Not because he wanted it too. If it wasn't for fracking on private land. It wouldn't have happened.
Fracking was relatively new in the US because most US wells produce less than 50 barrels a day.

And Obama is still crying about it........

Don't be stupid. He was proud it happened during his presidency.
