Trump Just Thanked HIMSELF For Lowering Gas Prices, ‘Way To Go President T!’
Donald Trump thanked himself for lowering gas prices in a tweet Sunday morning.
Trump likened the recent drop in oil prices to “a big Tax Cut.”
“So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T),” the president wrote. “Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!”

Last week, Trump reaffirmed the U.S.-Saudi relationship despite the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The president declined to criticize Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman for Khashoggi’s death, despite intelligence reports that the crown prince likely ordered the assassination inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Trump has indicated that issuing sanctions or punishing Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi would result in a spike in oil prices.
“If you want to see oil prices go to $150 a barrel … all you have to do is break up our relationship with Saudi Arabia,” he said last week.
Saudi Arabia is the third-highest global producer of oil, although we get the majority of our oil from Canada.
Twitter wasn’t impressed:

The man who claims to be a very stable genius is fishing for compliments by publicly thanking himself in the third person. Sad reality is that there is a 99% chance this won’t be the craziest thing the President of the United States says this week. Or, perhaps, today.

FACT CHECK: On Thanksgiving weekend 2016 under President Obama gas prices were on average $2.14 a gallon per AAA. Today under Trump gas prices are on average $2.91 a gallon. Thats over a 35% increase in two years under Trump's failed leadership.

Highest deficit, stock market tanking, talk of dipping into social security and robbing the elderly and the disabled to help pay for tax cuts for the rich. Yea, thanks mr. t.

Hey President T, the stock market has fallen over 2000 points. Are you going to take credit for that since you do for the upswings? Seems they are worried about your tactics.

President T takes credit for anything good that happens during his administration but blames anything bad on others. I’m surprised President T didn’t take credit for the sun coming up this morning.

Did you just talk about yourself in the third person, thank yourself for something you didn't do, and give yourself an idiotic nickname all in the same tweet?
Congratulations, it's the narcissistic asshole trifecta.
