After he beat Hillary Clinton in a stunning upset on election night, the president-elect credited himself with banishing gloom and lifting the markets this week.
“The world was gloomy before I won — there was no hope,” he tweeted Monday. “Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!”

Trump also squared off with Barack Obama after the president essentially said he could have beaten Trump and won a third term during an exit interview with David Axelrod. (RELATED: Barack Obama Needs Time To Think About Himself Once He’s Out Of Office)
Trump fired back on Twitter.
President Obama said that he thinks he would have won against me. He should say that but I say NO WAY! – jobs leaving, ISIS, OCare, etc.
