Trump Taking Credit Where None Is Due

Whoever wrote her cue cards must have used the state abbreviations, but expecting members of the Trump administration to know their states is too much intellectual effort. I mean there are a lot of states that start with M, who the hell knows that MI stands for Michigan?!?! (other than fifth graders and above who have taken geography) 

I'm impressed that she got the other states right without having them all spelled out phonetically. She clearly stumbled for a beat before saying Nebraska though.

NE = New England in her mind, probably.

Before she retired, my mom's work involved her talking to a lot of people out of state. It's kind of insane the amount of people who think NE = New England :facepalm:

Given the population density in the northeast, I would say it may be the majority thinking for the entire American population.

 
Sometimes I imagine just an entire staff of relatively unknown, incognito folks in the White House whose entire job description is to stay in touch with nationally relevant topics that the president could in any way tie back to being responsible for... even if it's in a modest to virtually non-existent capacity.

Oh wait yeah sorry that's just how pr/communications works in the White House these days my bad.

Real leaders don't treat these types of morsels as steak dinners for their own selfless promotion.

When you have very very little good happening that people see from your administration, you tend to grasp at the most insignificant things that can possibly make you look good.

 
I mean, look at how many idiots fall for it. May as well claim credit for more. Trump should claim he shot down the plain heading for the third twin tower with a slingshot and saved 500,000 lives because the angle it was flying at would have caused it to tip over onto 10 other buildings.

Since we are going to have a week full of Trump family speeches with one from king Doofus every night, I thought this thread should be bumped.

This buffoon doesn't get that the stock market is rising because they're excited he's leaving office.

That’s just not true.   The market has been rising since the initial Pfizer news.  It’s vaccine related, though it could be a sugar high if unemployment starts to rise again because of the shutdowns.

most of the trump administration was a sugar high because every time there was a hiccup in the economy he would throw a trillion dollars into the economy to keep it pumped up.  biden will not have that same tool to use as mitch will block any such money to boost the biden economy

Not denying that happens and it’s no different than the treasury policy during the Obama years.   Free money all around isn’t sustainable and I hope you agree it’s been happening since long before Trump.  
 

and I hope you will agree that @knapplcwas spewing nonsense when he said the market is rising because everyone in the market is happy Trump is leaving which is just not true.  It’s vaccine and treasury related upswing.

taken from the article:
 

The latest catalyst: It appears that a formal transition from President Donald Trump to President-elect Joe Biden is finally underway.
 

And that follows more promising coronavirus vaccine developments on Monday, as well as sources confirming to CNN that former Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen will be Biden's nominee for Treasury Secretary.
 

Shares of travel related companies, such as airlines, cruise lines and hotels, also continued to rebound on hopes of a more normal economy in 2021. Shares of Carnival (CCL), Delta (DAL) and Marriott (MAR) were all higher.
 

I guess reading is fundamental:  less uncertainties combined with the prospects of a  partially stable 2021.   Didn’t see the “yeah Trump is gone, buy, buy, buy, sentiment listed”.
