Donald Trump may be a narcissist (and by “may be,” we mean “is definitely”), but he’s hardly the first to occupy the Oval Office. In fact, he was immediately preceded by a flaming narcissist in his own right, Barack Obama.
This Presidents’ Day, it’s nice to see that Barack Obama hasn’t lost any of that self-congratulatory tendency we saw from him for eight straight years:
Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history. pic.twitter.com/BmdXrxUAUf

He also signed the Affordable Care Act during his tenure, which several Democratic presidential candidates are currently running on replacing with socialized medicine. But we digress.

Saint Obama takes credit for the Trump economy that he forecast could never happen ?????? https://t.co/IwhClNv7Rf

Cool story bro. It's Trump's economy now, no matter how much you try to leg-hump it. https://t.co/Ehn43nTu13

From Obama's perspective, he can't lose. Economy roars under Trump, it's because of what he started. Economy falls apart at some point, it's because Trump's a lousy POTUS who doesn't know what he's doing.
Take credit for the good, blame others for the bad. https://t.co/JRbBTp9DAt

We can’t help but be reminded of something else Barack Obama is famous for:
You didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. https://t.co/Gul7ijpSTy
