Trump brags about his first month in office

He’s only been in office for a month — but President Trump wants you to know he’s already boosted the economy and cut the national debt.

“The media has not reported that the National Debt in my first month went down by $12 billion vs a $200 billion increase in Obama first mo.,” Trump tweeted at 8:19 a.m. Saturday.

Trump didn’t say that some of the debt increase Obama faced after he took the oath of office in January 2009 had been added by Congress the year before as part of a spending package meant to pull the nation out of the Great Recession.

Trump also celebrated the rising stock market.

“Great optimism for future of U.S. business, AND JOBS, with the DOW having an 11th straight record close. Big tax & regulation cuts coming!” he wrote at 8:27 a.m.

He hinted that more Americans should rally to his side.

“Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!” he mused on Twitter at 7:25 am.
