Who knew, besides all of us, that Donald Trump taking credit for the Stock Market the minute he stepped into the White House would backfire? Reuters reported in December that Trump claimed that the stock markets hitting record highs were just making "rich people richer."

However, three years ago, Lumpy predicted that markets would crash if Biden won the White House in 2020. And today, Trump exploded in an all-caps narcissistic rant to grab credit for the stock market -- again but claims that "everything else" that's terrible is President Biden's fault.

"THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP — EVERYTHING ELSE IS TERRIBLE (WATCH THE MIDDLE EAST!), AND RECORD SETTING INFLATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN ITS TOLL. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" Capt. Exclamation Mark wrote.

He is a notorious liar, so no one is surprised, and the only people who are buying into what Trump is selling are his marks. He's been lying about the border, too. Trump doesn't want you to know that he's been spoon-feeding his base fear.

Let's hope that with each lie, Trump is losing at least some support as his fans come out of the fog. Keep talking, Mr. Trump. He's a one-person ad for Democrats.
