Barack Obama spent years making fun of Donald Trump.
Obama claimed Trump could never be elected President and that he was lying about turning America around.
But Donald Trump did something Obama never expected and it’s the biggest embarrassment of Obama’s life.
Barack Obama Mocks Trump During The 2016 Campaign
During the presidential election, Obama mocked Trump’s plan to Make America Great Again.
Trump told voters his policies would bring back the jobs that Obama and other politicians had shipped overseas.
Obama claimed this was a lie.
“Well, how exactly are you going to do that? What exactly are you going to do? There’s no answer to it,” Obama stated.
“He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, what, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is, he doesn’t have an answer.”
Obama also ripped Trump’s tax cut plan and Trump’s promise to roll back regulations.
“That will not help us win,” Obama stated. “That is not going to make your lives better. That will help people like him.”
Donald Trump Embarrasses Barack Obama
Trump won the election because voters trusted him to clean up Obama’s mess.
Once in office, Trump got right to work Making America Great Again.
He signed a historic tax cut bill into law.
He also slashed regulations and ended Obama’s war on coal.
And the results have spoken for themselves.
The Commerce Department announced they revised GDP growth from 4.1% to now 4.2%.
In addition, 51% of U.S. workers said they were happy with their jobs—the highest number since 2005.
The President announced consumer confidence was at its highest level since 2000 as well.
Trump tweeted:
Consumer Confidence Index, just out, is the HIGHEST IN 18 YEARS! Also, GDP revised upward to 4.2 from 4.1. Our country is doing great!

And Trump said more good news was on the way.
Our new Trade Deal with Mexico focuses on FARMERS, GROWTH for our country, tearing down TRADE BARRIERS, JOBS and having companies continue to POUR BACK INTO OUR COUNTRY. It will be a big hit!

What This Means For Trump’s Political Future
In the short term, Republicans believe a booming economy will boost their chances of hanging onto their majorities in the November elections.
After that, Trump will begin campaigning for his re-election bid.
The economy is always the number one issue for voters.
If the economy is still strong in 2020, he will cruise to victory.
And since Trump can take full credit for the economic boom, he will win by an even bigger margin than he did in 2016.
Trump could flip states like Minnesota and Nevada.
Should Trump win his re-election, it would stun the media and enrage the Democrats.
But it would allow Donald Trump to erase Barack Obama’s failed legacy for good.
