Tweeters Refuse To Let Donald Trump Take Credit For Booming House Sales

The following article by Lee Moran was posted on the Huffington Post website December 22, 2017:

“This is from Obama’s presidency. When the housing market falls apart because of your asinine plan, we’ll thank you.”

President Donald Trump appeared to claim credit for booming house sales on Thursday, but folks online weren’t having it.

With sales of existing homes in the U.S. hitting their highest level in more than a decade, Trump shared this message on Twitter:

Donald J. Trump

✔@realDonaldTrump

Home Sales hit BEST numbers in 10 years! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Trump didn’t explicitly suggest he was responsible for the boost, but fellow tweeters believed he was giving off that impression by using his MAGA slogan.

Many responded by thanking former President Barack Obama, whose policies would have led to the jump. Others questioned why booming house sales were a good thing given how previous soaring numbers ultimately led to the 2008 global financial crisis:

You had exactly NOTHING to do with any of this, man.

You haven’t even passed a budget yet.

You have implemented absolutely no policy that would have caused the home price rise. This is Obama’s doing.

On the other hand, your new tax plans will destroy the housing market. Give it 6-10 months.

Home sales don’t make a country GREAT. Taking care of those that CAN’T afford a roof over their heads is what makes a country great.

This tax bill will destroy those home sales numbers. When folks can’t deduct their property taxes, they will be jumping ship. Itemized deductions are what saved me lots of money. I will be screwed with this new bill. You have caused more pain and suffering since your election.

And what did you do to that made this happen! Do you actually think that anything you did in the last year has suddenly improved home sales! Thanks to President Obama, the home market has gradually recovered over the years. You are taking credit for Obama’s accomplishments.

A man who demands thanks, is a man who is unsure of his own motives. A man who gives thanks is a man who is secure in his own beliefs. A man who needs thanks in order to continue living, is Donald Trump. I cannot wait for the day you’re finally forced to resign!
