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.

Zelenksyy Slams Olympics For Disqualifying Ukrainian Athlete Over Helmet Honoring Athletes Killed In War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke out after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) disqualified Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych for insisting on wearing a helmet painted with the faces of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia since its 2022 invasion.

Yesterday, the IOC announced that Heraskevych would be barred from competing in that day’s skeleton events in Cortina, citing his refusal to abide by the IOC’s "guidelines on athlete expression." IOC President Kirsty Coventry personally weighed in on the ruling to sideline Heraskevych, saying she "felt it was really important to come and talk to him face-to-face."
