And true to form, he had nothing to say other than to disparage his foes and glorify himself. The first Xmas exaltation was directed at President Obama&#8217;s recent assertion that he would have beaten Trump in a rematch:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! &#8211; jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/813498739923054593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s cute that the issues Trump chose to feature in his rebuttal were all examples of Obama successes. He presided over the creation of 22 million jobs in the longest period of private sector job growth in history. The unemployment rate was cut by more than half, from 10.1 percent to 4.9 percent. As for ISIS, under Obama&#8217;s command the terrorist organization lost tens of thousands of fighters. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/defense\/291179-general-isis-fighters-becoming-easier-to-kill\" target=\"_blank\">According to the general in charge<\/a><\/strong> we have killed 45,000 in just the last two years. And that includes many of their top leaders. We have also substantially reduced the territory that ISIS controlled and their ability to raise revenue. And ObamaCare just completed the sign up period for 2017 with <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2016\/12\/21\/news\/economy\/obamacare-enrollment-record\/\" target=\"_blank\">record numbers<\/a><\/strong> (6.4 million) of newly insured citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s blatantly wrong commentary on Obama&#8217;s record was not his only glaring mistake. He also made the ludicrous assertion that there is <em>&#8220;NO WAY&#8221;<\/em> that Obama would have beaten him. He doesn&#8217;t explain his reasoning, but since he is the most unpopular president-elect in history it seems like a difficult argument to make. Especially when Obama is enjoying <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2016\/11\/poll-obama-approval-rating-231789\" target=\"_blank\">sky high favorability ratings<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Not content to embarrass himself with that tweet, Trump let loose again with one that may be even more absurd:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The world was gloomy before I won &#8211; there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/813527932165558273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>You will have to use your imagination to figure out what <em>&#8220;gloomy&#8221;<\/em> world Trump is living in. Although he spoke of it often during his campaign. To hear it from him, America is hell hole on the scale of something out of Mad Max. Never mind the employment and economic advances that occurred over the past eight years. Trump touts the 10 percent increase in the stock market since the beginning of November. Of course, he isn&#8217;t president and couldn&#8217;t have had anything to do with it. And he doesn&#8217;t mention the 150 percent increase since the beginning of Obama&#8217;s presidency. Pretty gloomy, huh?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump thinks that somehow he is responsible for people buying their loved ones Christmas presents. So now Trump is Santa Claus too? How appropriate that he would exhibit his messiah complex on the anniversary of the birth of his messiah. Perhaps he is also responsible for everyone who was healed of an illness in the past month.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing late into the evening, Trump posted a tweet lauding his philanthropy:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation, raised or recieved millions more, ALL of which is given to charity, and media won&#39;t report!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/813578484572450816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 27, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now he&#8217;s just <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2016\/11\/22\/trump-foundation-admits-to-violating-ban-on-self-dealing-new-filing-to-irs-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\">flat out lying<\/a><\/strong>, which for him is a natural state of being. IRS records show that Trump has not donated anything to his foundation since 2008. And his disbursements mainly benefited himself. He gave $25,000 to a Florida Attorney General who then dropped the investigation on him that her office was conducting. He gave another $250,000 to settle the terms of a lawsuit he lost. Those are both illegal uses for charitable funds.<\/p>\n<p>And then there were the portraits of himself that he purchased as well as some sports memorabilia. Again, that&#8217;s misuse of foundation funds. Last week he announced that he&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2016\/dec\/24\/trump-university-shut-down-conflict-of-interest\" target=\"_blank\">shutting down<\/a> his foundation, which he can&#8217;t do while the New York Attorney General is investigating it for fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, one Twitter response to Trump&#8217;s brag-fest offered a poll to gauge who would really have won in an Obama\/Trump match-up. At the time of this writing, Obama was ahead by three to one. Of course, this is not a scientific poll. However it is posted on Trump&#8217;s Twitter feed where he might be expected to have an advantage:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s see if you would win!<\/p>\n<p>Who would you rather have as president<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tonyposnanski\/status\/813512028904165376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So even on his home turf, Trump is a loser. And that&#8217;s after losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by a historic margin (over 2.8 million votes). And Clinton&#8217;s favorables aren&#8217;t anywhere near as high as Obama&#8217;s. So let that sink in, Mr. Trump. And I&#8217;m sure we can expect some thin-skinned, half-baked tweets to follow as soon as you get your tiny hands on your phone.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently America is going to suffer through four years of deranged ranting by an infantile tweetaholic pretending to be president.
