Donald Trump was widely mocked for claiming 'the Trump stock market' is booming because he is doing well in the polls.

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."

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

Philly Woman Goes Viral With Her Totally Chill Reaction To Her Car Being Completely Frozen In Ice

While the Northeast battled winter weather, the internet was captivated by a Philly-based TikToker documenting how her car turned into what she jokingly described as a Snowmaggedon popsicle.

Last week, Tianna Graham shoveled out her 2016 Honda Civic and drove out after a snowstorm, took it to work, and parked it in the same spot she’d left it before: next to a water main. By the time she returned, her vehicle was completely encased in ice on the 1000 block of North Front Street in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood.

Dad Sparks Heated Debate After 'Nice Note' He Left For Wife And Kids Before Work Trip Sets Her Off

When a person becomes a parent, much more will change in their life than they anticipated.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
