Those claims are pure BS - like all his claims. We will see where it is at the end of his historically awful term in office, and I predict the stock market will be lower than when he took office. All his borrowing will bite us in the ass. realdonaldtrump is a FakePresident

Its a trap

The bragger in Chief has only one philosophy...heads I win and tails you lose

The market is in negative territory for 2018. This is an unconscionably irresponsible distortion of reality for most investors.

Funny claim, because the rise clearly started during the Obama administration.

Outright lies! The S&P has risen from 2271 to 2738 under Trump (20%) During the same time period under Obama, it rose from 805 to 1,226 (53%)

And 6 bankruptcies on his coattails too. So impressive. 😂😂

KanthanPillay MandyWiener PieterDuToit. Your tweets regarding the division of America refers. Whilst most of us cannot stand Trump's smugness, these are the facts. Is this not why Obama is trying to divide America?

Don't care!

Stupid headline, come on, do a better job.

NO PRESIDENT HAS STOCK MARKET BRAGGING RIGHTS!

And having the highest US debt ever & potus wonders why interest rates keep and will keep rising. Even Trump can’t borrow his way to long-term prosperity, unless bankruptcy is an option, which it isn’t

Right. He's GENIUS. Who would have thunk that funding a massive tax break for corporations and the rich by exploding the deficit would be SO successful in driving up the stock market?! Oh right, it is that obvious isn't it.

The Fed lowered the cost of capital to zero. Free money makes asset prices rise, not Trump.

Nope.

The American stock market is a mirage. Massively overvalued.

Among a lot of other bull crap well come tomorrow night he will be on Twitter BITCHING, CRYING, AND COMPLAINING THAT THE REPUBLICANS DIDN'T WIN

Obama’s were better

Propping up the stock market with a trillion dollar tax cut to corporations, while getting the nation a trillion more into debt. That's the bragging right? The stock rally was artificial, and it already happened. There has been below 2% increase this year.) Do better Reuters.

the usa economy is starting to go south with trump policies starting to kick in

THIS is a legitimately STUPID headline to anyone that simply LOOKS at the markets.... *ALL GAINS FOR THE YEAR HAVE BEEN LOST*..... how do you acquiesce to the claim that he has bragging rights?!

*FART NOISE*

Report: KORN, The Opioid Epidemic And The U.S. Killing Machine

The president has done well in the economy. Excellent

In case you didn’t know, America’s paying attention and not all of us are uneducated. Try again with the article

The Dow is exactly where it was in Jan.... basically it only grew during year 1

you might want to fact check your own article you are giving credit to the tax cut bill when the market is basically at the same level now as it was when the tax cut bill was passed

As he should as every other president before him took credit for positive results

Yep

What the stock is where it was at the beginning of the year erasing all gains for the entire year. It's not doing well at all and now economists are saying a crash is imminent due to the deficit. He's not bragging he's LYING

Uh. Stocks plunged 2 weeks ago.

Eh..not really. Economic cycles don't work that way. We will really feel what realDonaldTrump has done to our economy & name long after he's no longer president. Right now, this is still Obama-policies at work. Policies POTUS wants to remove & dismantle.

Will you also give him credit for the massive cuts to medicare and social security that will be necessary due to the massive deficit spending?

/eyeroll will he accept the blame when it crashes within 2 years?

Mr. Trump is a sausage
