Trump: National debt went up $200 billion in Obama's first month, down $12 billion in mine

1. The president is a lying sack of steaming shit.

That's the nicest thing I can say about Don the Con.

2. Brought to you by WaPo

"Comparing Jan. 20 to Feb. 20 of each year, the figures are more like $15 billion and $212 billion. This generally isn't a metric used to evaluate presidents, since they have little influence on the first months of their presidencies. Obama, for example, inherited the financial crisis, and signed a stimulus package that went into effect in mid-February. Anyway, this difference stemmed not from public debt but from intragovernmental holdings. And there is one sense in which the media talked about this: Herman Cain mentioned it on Fox News shortly before Trump's tweet."

I love their Twitter Add-on that fact checks his bullshit and provides broader context!

8. The next 4 years will be dedicated to Trump constantly reminding us that his is bigger and

better than Obama's.

9. As we say in the investing community ...

he's going to have some tough comps.

(Especially once any of *his* policies start taking effect.)
