The presidential election is slated for Tuesday, November 5, 2024. With less than 10 months before Americans head to the polls, the candidates are sharing their accomplishments.

Or sharing their opponent's accomplishments and claiming them as their own.

On Monday morning, former Republican President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to post an all-CAPS screed taking credit for the current stock market boom.

The "presumptive" GOP presidential nominee posted:

"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!!!"

The Biden-Harris campaign noted Trump’s endorsement of the economic growth during their administration.

Biden-Harris HQ posted two pieces of media on X, captioned:

"Left: Trump in 2020 claiming the stock market will collapse if President Biden wins"
"Right: Trump today desperately trying to take credit for the stock market hitting record highs under President Biden"

Others also noted Trump’s desperate bid to take credit for the current economic gains after the economy tanked and the federal deficit grew during his time in office.

A Biden parody account even weighed in.

In a dig that didn't come from Dark Brandon, the post declared:

"Folks, the economy is doing so well that the losing former President is literally trying to take credit for it."

On Friday, United States stocks hit a record high for five straight days and a 12th winning week out of 13.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Racist Guy Caught On Video Tearing Through Iraqi Soccer Fans' Banner At Dallas Airport: 'Don't Come To America'

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
