Fact check: President Trump's trade war hurt Maine's lobster industry. He falsely blames President Obama.

President Donald Trump falsely claimed Thursday that it was his predecessor who was responsible for the struggles of Maine's lobster and fishing industries.

After more than three years in office and flagging in the polls against the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Trump positioned himself on Twitter as the industry's champion after signing a memorandum that would directPres. Obama destroyed the lobster and fishing industry in Maine. Now it’s back, bigger and better than anyone ever thought possible.

Hell, none of us wee little sold out forgotten people can afford Maine lobster.

既然要打贸易战,这是必然的代价!

Of course he did. But everyone knows who is responsible.

NBC is fake news.

The lobster men know

What is his obsession about with Obama?

He shits so much bullshit he blames Obama for it

KatrinaHagen2 Come on..he blamed his casino fiasco's on Obama.

of course hes going to blame Obama, he blames him for everything, even his hair loss and weight gain

Of course he does!!!

This is Trump's MO he breaks something then he blames President Obama then he makes a feeble attempt to fix a small part of it and call it a victory. Why anyone falls for it is a mystery.

True it was Obama fault.

TrumpsNotWell all his trade deals aren't working but are hurting small businesses TrumpIsUnwell and TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

He’s too lucky to have his base comprising of mostly amnesiac patients. He can tell them anything, and they have no problem NOT linking it to anything Trump has done in the past.

Shocker

No kiddin’

This president is afraid to grow up.

We can’t believe anything he says.... the Maine lobster industry flourished under Obama, then Trumps trade war totally screwed it up - and now he’s giving them a bailout because of his policies. Where’s that money coming from? Our country needs him gone....

Fake news enemy of the American people

GlobalRevivalVigil Prepare for the coming Messiah

Seems like free trade is a better idea.

I don’t beleive NBC, they lie all the time!! To bad they feel lieing to the public is a good business model!!!

Why doesn't NBC fact check Joe Biden's nonprofit that supposed to go to hospitals but 70% of the money goes to Uncle Joe. NBC is the Democrat mainstream media and is all in for Biden. So dishonest!

Maine lobster was selling at twice the price in 2016 as it is now

Trump is helping the Maine lobster industry unlike Collins & King!

No Obama bin Laden('s side) is responsible for the riots and the pandemic.

Funny that NEVER called out Obama for a lie in the headline. It’s almost like they’re an arm of the DNC.

I doubt this is true.

Nope, he definitely blames Obama.

this is nbc people...beware

All he does is lie

The mobster blames the lobster.

Everything Donald Trump touches dies, while he gets rich off of the death
