The French art school Emile Cohl was looking to make a splash in the United States while preparing to open a new campus in California, but a group photo of its students that was apparently manipulated for an advertising campaign to make the school look more diverse is getting it a poor grade from the get-go.

Some students’ complexions were darkened while others were simply cut out and replaced with pictures of darker-skinned people.

According to CNN, the picture was posted on Sept. 5 as part of the school’s new American version of its website, which has been in production ahead of a branch of the Lyon, France-based school opening in Los Angeles in the next few years.

It was students from the school who first noticed that their classmates had been given new looks. Students notified school officials and the picture was immediately removed.

A student posted a comparison of the school’s now-removed photoshopped image (right) with a picture that shows the actual students (left).

(According to a Google translation, the first tweet states that the user is passing on the picture on behalf of a friend who wanted to remain anonymous. The second reads: “The basic photo can be found on their twitter plus, my god”)

Along with the edits to the students’ skin color, some pictures of black people were just digitally added to the crowd.

Emmanuel Perrier, the school’s assistant director, told CNN that the school had no knowledge of the editing. He claimed that an ad agency hired to promote the school in the U.S was responsible for the change and that the agency had taken the initiative to “diversify” the picture on its own.

Part of the plan for the school’s U.S promotion was to bid for funding from American-located animation studios.

One wonders who exactly thought this was a good idea and ethical idea. For example, on what grounds did they justify and choose which students should be altered?

This is an especially insane take on multicultural inclusiveness. It speaks to the state of political correctness that an ad agency would even consider this offensive idea of forced and faked diversity to be a selling point for the school.

“When the website was made public, we didn’t notice anything. The students from our school were the first ones to notice it,” Perrier told CNN.

“The communication company decided on its own to darken the skin of some students to add diversity,” he said.

School officials wrote in a statement on its French website that they absolutely disapprove of the doctored image.

“To the Cohliens, their families, alumni, partners who know the school and its practices, we reaffirm that we do not need to manipulate images to demonstrate our openness to the world as it is,” the statement says, as translated by the New York Post.

According to the Post, a school official stated that the unidentified publicity agency has since been fired.  The American website for the school has also been taken down.

The responsible ad agency has not offered any insight into why the photo was altered.

Evidently, something was lost in translation.

A teenage girl is being hailed as a hero after her excellent marksmanship with a bow-and-arrow saved her brother from a cougar, Fox News reports.

Amaya Simpson, a Colville, Washington 16-year-old, told Fox News that the incident occurred when she and her young brother were out practicing elk calls on the evening of September 8 in nearby Inchelium.

As they were walking along, the teen says she sensed danger. It was only three yards away from her brother — a cougar.

“I just remember getting chills, turning around, and seeing only its big brown head blending with the trees and bushes,” she told reporters, “then telling my brother to run to me.”

Simpson said it was like the cougar was almost stalking her brother. But at first, he didn’t believe her.

“I just smiled for a second and thought she was joking around on me again,” her brother Cole said, according to KHQ-TV. However, he says he realized “the seriousness in her tone,” according to the station.

As her brother ran toward her, Amaya went all “Hunger Games” and picked up a bow and arrow. She hit the cougar behind one of its ears, getting the animal to run away.

“My adrenaline was pumping, and in that situation, it was probably record time,” she said of the arrow shot.

When she told her father what happened, he got his AR-15 and the family dog.

“We had our dogs, and our airedale got on it’s trail,” she said.

He then tracked the cougar and finished it off. According to KHQ, the father was worried that the cougar might strike again.

The big cat now resides with a taxidermist, where it will become a sort of memento for the Simpson family.

There are several lessons here, of course. The first is that outdoor skills can save your life, or the life of someone close to you — in this case young Cole.

The second is that if you’re going to be an outdoorsy family, you need to know how to protect yourself. That includes skills in archery, marksmanship and the like.

Oh, and yes, there’s always the delightful addendum that the AR-15, so often vilified in the press as having no application aside from being (ugh) “a weapon of war,” may well have saved the life of someone else. This is what modern hunting rifles are used for — modern hunting applications. No doubt the left is going to seize upon her for that.

Aside from all of that, however, we have to give plaudits to the brilliant Amaya Simpson, who helped save her brother’s life with one great shot.

Lisa Page, the FBI former lawyer who came under fire for an illicit extramarital affair with the now-ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, as well as damning anti-Trump text messages leading up to the 2016 election, gave a deposition in mid-July as part of a joint congressional investigation into how the Justice Department handled the Russia and Clinton email probes.

According to Fox News, a transcript of the deposition confirmed what many already assumed about the Mueller investigation into Russian collusion.

“I think this represents that even as far as May 2017, we still couldn’t answer the question,” Page said regarding whether or not there was Russian collusion.

May 2017 is when Mueller was officially appointed special counsel to investigate alleged Russian collussion.

And the result of that investigation thus far is was what millions of Americans already had a sneaking suspicion about.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

There was nothing in May 2017. There’s been nothing that’s become public more than a year after that. And if the Mueller investigation continues the way that it has been going, there will be nothing.

Page, for her part, seemed nervous about the entire deposition.

“Sorry. Can I consult with counsel? I’m sorry. I need to consult with FBI counsel for a moment,” she said in mid-answer at one point, according to Fox.

When Fox asked Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas, who was one of the many people questioning Page, about her response, Ratcliffe also echoed that the Mueller investigation seemed to be a nothing burger.

“I cannot provide the specifics of a confidential interview,” Ratcliffe told Fox.

And Ratcliffe didn’t. But he did, however, reaffirm Page’s seeming admission that there had been no Russian collusion.

“But I can say that Lisa Page left me with the impression, based on her own words, that the lead investigator of the Russian collusion case, Peter Strzok, had found no evidence of collusion after nearly a year.”

Another text message, from Strzok to Page, also seemed to imply that even the anti-Trump Strzok doubted there being any collusion.

“(You) and I both know the odds are nothing,” Strzok wrote, accordign to Fox News. “If I thought it was likely I’d be there no question. I hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there’s no big there there.”

RELATED: Texas State Board of Education Votes To Erase Hillary Clinton From History Curriculum

When pressed about that particular message and whether or not Strzok actually believed there was “no big there,” Page seemed to trip over her own words while trying to provide an answer.

“No, I don’t think so. I think it’s a reflection of us still not knowing…It still existed in the scope of possibility that there would be literally nothing, probably not nothing nothing, as we probably knew more than that by that point,” Page said, according to Fox.

“But in the scheme of the possible outcomes, the most serious one obviously being crimes serious enough to warrant impeachment; but on the other scale that, you know, maybe an unwitting person was, in fact, involved in the release of information, but it didn’t ultimately touch any senior, you know, people in the administration or on the campaign. And so the text just sort of reflects that spectrum.”

What an utter waste of time and resources.

I’ve always been stunned that Donald Trump is the first president the media’s called a narcissist. Without opining on whether or not our 45th head of state is obsessed with himself, I can say with absolute certainty that our 44th president definitely was.

Barack Obama loves him some Barack Obama. We saw this numerous times during his presidency, including most odiously at a memorial service for five slain Dallas police officers which the president turned into an advertisement for himself.

The former president is back on the campaign trail, and he’s not missing any opportunities to talk about his favorite subject.

Take a speech in Cleveland, where the president mentioned himself repeatedly. He also had an odd habit of stuttering — something the American Mirror noticed when they put together a video of the president’s remarks.

Obama was in Ohio in support of Richard Cordray, the Democrats’ candidate for governor there, as well as lieutenant governor candidate Betty Sutton.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

“Let, let, let, let, let me just say these, these are friends of mine,” Obama told the audience of Cordray and Sutton. “I admit I am biased.”

Well, okay, fair enough. Everyone is entitled to mention themselves once or twice during a speech, particularly if they’ve been president.

However, he kept on saying that they were both a “friend of mine” and that “I have worked with them.”

Of Cordray, he noted that the candidate “had my back even when some of you couldn’t pronounce my name.”

Yep, we’re still going with that quip in 2018. I understand that Obama’s a dad, but that doesn’t give him a pass on constantly making culturally loaded dad jokes.

Hecklers, too, were about him: “I always miss having at least one heckler up in here,” he said. “I can never really hear what they’re saying, but I appreciate the exercise of free speech.”

And in the “truer words were never spoken” category: “I know that sometimes, when I was president, even when I was a candidate, folks would say, ‘Barack, you’re talking too long.’

‘You’re like too professorial, you’re explaining stuff too much,’” he said. I think that was the excuse they may have given him, but that probably wasn’t the reason that he was being called out for talking too long.

RELATED: Donald Trump Jr. Takes Direct Shot at Obama – ‘He’s Our Best Salesman’

The real answer probably has to do with how often Obama likes to pontificate on himself. As the American Mirror pointed out about the stuttering Cleveland address, “Obama talked about himself 79 times during the roughly 40 minute speech, saying ‘I’ 66 times, ‘Me’ 5 times, ‘My’ 5 times, and ‘Mine’ 3 times.”

That sounds about right. During his big speech at the University of Illinois, he mentioned himself over 100 times during the 64-minute address. At least that time, he was accepting an award dedicated to him. This time he was actually campaigning for other candidates. When you’re doing that, it helps if the focus is on them. It also helps if you don’t stammer through it.

Earlier in the week democrats tried some more of their dirty tactics to block the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. California Senator Dianne Feinstein handed over a mysterious letter to the FBI that alleged Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted a woman 35 years ago. Initially the accuser wanted to remain anonymous, but now she has a name. She also has a political party and, surprise surprise, she’s a registered democrat who donates to “political organizations.” What are the chances?

Christine Blasey Ford is a professor of psychology at Palo Alto University and she claims that way back in the 1980’s Kavanaugh and a friend sexually assaulted her at a party. She spoke to The Washington Post, but they have a shitty business model and her interview is behind a paywall. Luckily this information is available everywhere else, so the WaPO can suck it. Here’s what Fox News reports:

Ford, a 51-year-old registered Democrat who has published in academic journals and has trained students in clinical psychology, described the alleged incident in The Washington Post on Sunday, saying it occurred during a summer day in the 1980s at a Maryland house where teens had gathered. Ford claimed she headed upstairs to a bathroom when she was suddenly pushed onto a bed, as rock-and-roll music blared.

However, Ford told The Post she did not recall exactly who owned the house, how she came to be at the house, or how the gathering was arranged. She remembered only that the house was in Montgomery County, near a country club, and that parents were not present.

It seems like this story that was sat on until the eve of Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote is suffering from some credibility issues, but it gets even harder to believe:

Ford said Kavanaugh and a friend, Mark Judge, were “stumbling drunk” and laughing “maniacally” when Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed and tried to forcibly remove her one-piece bathing suit, as well as the clothes she was wearing. According to Ford, Kavanaugh put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream.

“I thought he might inadvertently kill me. He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing,” said Ford.

Ford claimed she was able to escape to a bathroom and then outside of the house when Judge jumped into the fray and sent everyone in the room “tumbling.”

To recap: Ford went to a house for reasons she can’t explain and doesn’t even know where it was or how she got there. She was wearing a bathing suit underneath her clothes for some other unexplained reason. She says Kavanaugh tried to rape and kill her, but she was saved when the friend jumped on them, sending her tumbling to the safety of a bathroom. That’s not even a decent lie for a 3-year-old trying to explain how all the cookies disappeared from the jar.

Another thing that’s kind of hard to believe is that the democrats, who are desperately trying to stop Kavanaugh from being confirmed, had this allegation for weeks and said nothing of it. Feinstein received the letter detailing this bullshit story before the confirmation hearings and never brought it up. Democrats on the Seante Judiciary Committee saw the letter and didn’t say a thing. Democrats grilled Kavanaugh in the hearings, met with him privately, and submitted hundreds of written questions, and yet this allegation never came up once. It’s like even the democrats know this is a load of crap so they decided to release in a damaging way that doesn’t put them on the spot for pushing a lie.

As you can see, Ford is democrat and a professor at a liberal university. Mediaite also describes her as, “A registered Democrat who has made small contributions to political organizations.”

How small? Which political organizations? I bet it’s more than just a little and chances are these are all lefty organizations. It would be seriously non-shocking if she was a major donor to Planned Parenthood. The nation’s largest abortion provider has been leading the misinformation campaign against Kavanaugh and I think it would relevant if this accuser has donated money to Planned Parenthood, don’t you?

For many on the far-left, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez represents a great new hope.

Ocasio-Cortez is a young, socialist woman whom the far-left seems to have placed all of their anti-Trump hopes into. Even if you disagree with all of her policies, you have to admit, you can at least see why the far-left adores her so much.

And on paper, she certainly hits all the check boxes that the far-left wants in a presumably post-Hillary Clinton world.

Well, except for one slightly important checkbox: She seems to have no idea what she’s actually talking about.

As such, one could assume that Ocasio-Cortez’s most ardent supporters will want her to avoid too much limelight so as not to embarrass herself.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

So it should be little surprise that when Ocasio-Cortez appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” morning show on Sunday, she was lobbed some softball questions.

And it worked out great… for her detractors.

CNN host Jake Tapper asked Ocasio-Cortez how she would plan on paying for all of her expensive programs like “free” healthcare for all.

Tapper rightly pointed out that Ocasio-Cortez’s programs would cost around $40 trillion over 10 years. Even left-leaning prognosticators estimate that her programs would only bring in $2 trillion.

Now there are any number of responses Ocasio-Cortez could’ve gone with.

Saving money elsewhere through cuts, promoting other programs meant to boost the economy, or even citing longer-term economic benefits would have all been fine and acceptable answers.

Instead, Ocasio-Cortez once again proved that she generally doesn’t seem to know what she’s talking about when it comes to political and economic issues.

“Right. When you look again at how our health care works, currently we pay — much of these costs go into the private sector. So, what we see, for example, is, you know, a year ago I was working downtown in a restaurant. I went around and I asked how many of you folks have health insurance? Not a single person did. They’re paying — they would have had to pay $200 a month for a payment for insurance that had an $8,000 deductible. What these represent are lower cost overall for these programs,” Ocasio-Cortez said when Tapper asked her about the exorbitant costs of something like Medicare for all.

RELATED: Watch: Ocasio-Cortez Caught Trying To Politically Weaponize Children To ‘Bring Down’ Trump

She didn’t exactly answer the question, but surely, she could do better if she elaborated?

“Additionally, what this is, it’s a broader agenda. We do know and acknowledge that there are political realities. They don’t always happen with just a wave of a wand but we can work to make these things happen. In fact, when you look at the economic activity that it spurs — for example, if you look at my generation, millennials, the amount of economic activity that we do not engage in. The fact that we delay purchasing homes, that we don’t participate in the economy as purchasing cars as fully as fully as possible is a cost. It is an externality, if you will, of unprecedented amount of student loan debt,” she said.

Okay. So we’ve gone from trying to explain how to pay for Medicare for all to talking about the toll massive student debt can have. That seems like a logical connection.

But Ocasio-Cortez’s most baffling statement, which is saying quite a bit, came when she addressed how much Medicare for all would save.

“One of the things we need to realize when we look at something like Medicare for all, Medicare for all would save the American people a very large amount of money. What we see as well is that these systems are not just pie in the sky,” she said.

It seems rather important for any politician or lawmaker to ask themselves, “How will I pay for what I’m proposing?”

Ocasio-Cortez seems to not have given that question any credence.

Last I checked, wishing for the best without giving any forethought is quite literally “pie in the sky.”

One of the many, many mistakes the Democratic Party made leading up to Donald Trump’s stunning 2016 presidential election win was an over-reliance on celebrity and Hollywood endorsements.

Much like the celebrities they relied upon so much, the Democratic leadership seems to have lost all connection with the everyday American.

Whether it was Katy Perry or LeBron James stumping for Hillary Clinton, the American voters sent a loud and clear message through the election that these celebrities, and Hollywood elitists in general, had lost all touch with them.

That utter disconnect with the everyday American was on full display again Saturday night at the Human Rights Campaign’s National Dinner, according to the New York Post.

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway was present to accept the National Equality Award, and again exhibited that disconnect from reality.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

“I really needed this,” Hathaway said during her acceptance.

She went on to describe just how “scared” she was about the current state of America.

“I think I’m probably walking around like most people right now. I’m pretty shell shocked by what I see every day, what I hear everyday. And I really don’t like to admit this, but I get scared,” she said.

Hathaway then unloaded on what she viewed as all sorts of “privileges” in America today and lambasted them.

“It is important to acknowledge with the exception of being a cisgender male, everything about how I was born has put me at the current center of a damaging and widely-accepted myth,” she said in a bit of self-loathing.

“That myth is that gayness orbits around straightness, transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.”

Wait, what? Straight, cisgender and white privilege are the actual myths.

At the end of the day, everyday Americans want a meritocracy. What you get in life should always be determined by what you put into life. Crying for handouts based on the circumstances of your birth is the antithesis of the American dream.

It doesn’t matter if you’re gay, straight, white or black. There is something inherently American about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and getting things done.

RELATED: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

And yet, Hollywood seems oblivious to that fact.

Not helping matters is the fact Hathaway is grousing about all of these privileges that helped her career net worth reach a lofty $35 million, according to TheRichest.com.

If Hathaway were so perturbed by all of these alleged privileges in America, couldn’t she easily denounce them by returning some of that $35 million to all of those poor, marginalized people?

What was once a mere divide between everyday Americans and the fringes of Hollywood elitisim has turned into a gaping maw of a chasm.

That’s abundantly bad news for the Hollywood-backed Democrats and seems unlikely to change anytime soon.

Arizona was one of the Senate races that the Democrats were hoping to flip this coming November. Democrat candidate Rep. Krysten Sinema has been able to keep up with Republican nominee Rep. Martha McSally in the race for the seat of the retiring Sen. Jeff Flake. A RealClearPolitics polling average shows McSally up by a mere 0.3 percentage points.

That should be increasing in the coming weeks, all thanks to a very telling flyer from 15 years ago.

“As an anti-war activist in the early 2000s, Arizona Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema led a group that distributed flyers depicting an American soldier as a skeleton inflicting ‘U.S. terror’ in Iraq and the Middle East,” CNN reported.

“The flyers could become an issue for Sinema, the Democratic nominee challenging Republican Martha McSally in one of the most competitive US Senate races this year. CNN rates the race as a toss-up.”

Sinema’s past activism has already become an issue in the campaign.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

“McSally has previously attacked Sinema’s anti-war past and accused Sinema of ‘denigrating’ the service of the US armed forces in her protests of the Iraq War. Sinema’s campaign has denied those charges and said that while Sinema opposed US intervention in Iraq, she always supported servicemembers,” CNN reported.

However, the flyers seem to tell a different story. Accessed through the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, one from February 2003 contains the offending cartoon along with the text, “You can help us push back U.S. terror in Iraq and the Middle East.” The flyer was from Local to Global Justice, an anti-war group co-founded by Sinema.

The cartoon shows “a group of protestors striving to halt the progress of three skeletons, one dressed as a soldier, another dressed in a top hat holding a dollar bill and another dressed in a suit.” Sinema is listed as an event contact and the contact information for a local anarchist group that participated is also included.

A second flyer included exhortations to fight “against Bush and his fascist, imperialist war” and mentioned that “Government is slavery” and that “Its laws are cobwebs for the rich and chains of steel for the poor.”

A third flyer featured the Michael Moore-worthy slogan, “Stop the OILigarchy.” The candidate was also listed as a contact for a sign-making event before the rally. According to CNN, the flyer highlighted previous signs with slogans like “Born to Kill, Born to Drill,” “My President Is A Psychopath,” “No Oilgarchy,” “We Burn Stuff (Written on an American Flag)” and “Who Elected this F—–?” as examples of their placard-making prowess.

Sinema spoke at the rally, telling the audience to “let peace rule.” She continued her anti-war activism, telling a local radio station that “this is not about the United States doing the right and moral thing by a toppling an evil dictator.”

“This is more about the United States having access to the oil and the power and control and world stature that it’s seeking. It’s not about the individuals in Iraq,” she said.

The news of the flyers caused a stir on social media.

If Sinema were putting herself forward as a radical Bernie-ista type, this wouldn’t be such a big deal. The thing is that in Congress, she’s tried to put herself forward as a moderate. She’s one of 18 Democrats that are part of the purportedly moderate Blue Dog Coalition (stop trying to make “Blue Dog Democrat” happen. It’s not going to happen) and would stand little chance of winning a statewide race if she were really an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clone.

Sinema’s people tried to dismiss the flyers as irrelevant and the issue settled, which is probably the least effective way to go about making this go away.

“Kyrsten comes from a military family and is very proud of her record supporting Arizona’s servicemembers, veterans, and their families,” an email from Sinema campaign spokeswoman Helen Hare to CNN read.

“Attacks on Kyrsten’s respect for those who serve have already been called out as false, and Kyrsten is going to stay focused on the issues that matter most to Arizonans — like making sure Congresswoman McSally and her allies can’t roll back protections for patients with pre-existing conditions.”

Yes, her disrespect for the troops has “already been called out as false.” In other words, every new piece of evidence that her anti-war activism wasn’t of the “respect the troops, but respectfully disagree” variety has been pre-emptively been addressed.

The fact that her name and imprimatur were on a flyer depicting an American soldier as a skeleton is totally impertinent to the debate because she’s “from a military family and is very proud of her record supporting Arizona’s servicemembers.”

This is about as obvious of a deflection as you can get in a political race, and I’ve seen plenty. It doesn’t even address the specific flyers. Her spokeswoman just recites campaign bromides that have been in use since Calvin Coolidge’s time and expects everything to go away. Oh, and stuff about pre-existing conditions, which isn’t so much a red herring so much as a fish market devoted entirely to the sale of red herring.

Krysten Sinema has a lot of explaining to do. Her spokeswoman didn’t do her any favors.

Now, it’s time to hear some actual explanation about how she squares this with her purported “respect for those who serve.”

After eight years of watching and reading liberal media spin that fawned over everything that came out of the Obama administration, it’s nice to hear some reality checks coming from people in the Republican Party.

Donald Trump Jr. has certainly been lighting up social media with support of his father’s policies and setting the record straight on fake news aimed at the Trump administration.

With a booming economy being one of President Donald Trump’s glowing accomplishments since he took office, the left is still trying to diminish his success. Well, Donald Jr. has something explosive to say about that.

In an interview with Breitbart News on Saturday, Trump Jr. took on former President Barack Obama’s recent claims that the Trump economy is just riding the momentum Obama’s Democrat policies started.

“No one with a brain actually believes (Obama) did anything good for our economy or for our foreign policy,” Trump Jr. told Breitbart. “Everyone saw that anything he did basically put America at risk and made us weaker. Every time he drew a red line, other countries walked all over it. He did it again, and they walked all over it.

TRENDING: James Woods Pulls Out Dictionary To Bury Leftists Attacking Kavanaugh

“Guess what? Countries, whether it’s foreign policy-wise or whether it’s business-wise, they realize you have someone now that actually cares about America in there, that’s actually doing it – not someone who’s going to make us look weak where you can walk all over us because that’s the precedent that he set. There’s a new sheriff in town. We’ve changed all that,” he added.

Trump Jr. also told Breitbart that he’s thrilled that former Obama has resurfaced on the midterm campaign trail because he considers him: “Without question, he’s our best salesman.”

But he saved special fire for Obama’s claims about the economy.

“The biggest joke I’ve seen in the last two years is Obama claiming credit – trying to claim this economy because his policies of over-taxation, oppressive regulation, guess what? That didn’t do anything. That drove this country into the ground. That led to the worst recovery in the history of probably economics but certainly our country’s history,” Trump Jr. said.

“For him to run around doing this now – there’s a reason why on November 9, 2016, all of those matrices shot up like a rocket. It’s because businesses, employers, people realized you got someone who’s actually going to fight for you, not fight just for special interests, not fight for people in countries that hate our guts, but actually fight for real Americans. Real Americans, their jobs, their companies, their businesses.

“That’s what happened, and when consumer confidence started going up the day my father won because they knew he wasn’t going to oppress them, everything started following. I want to keep that going. That’s how we get rid of some of the other problems we’re having. That’s how we get rid of unfunded pension liability. That’s how we get rid of some of our deficits, is by producing, having GDP numbers above 4 percent.

“Okay, remember when Obama said you need a magic wand to make that happen? Well, abracadabra, Obama. We’re doing it.”

Never let it be said that the liberal media passes on a chance to spin for their side.

The Hill published an articled titled “Trump, Obama Spar Over The Economy: Who’s Right?” The piece credited Trump with a soaring stock market and lowest unemployment in decades, but threw cold water on his success because he’s ruffling foreign feathers.

RELATED: Breakdown: Obama Stutters, Mentions Self 79 Times at Rally

“But Trump’s economic policies have their critics, especially when it comes to trade relations, an area where Trump has entered a high-stakes game of tit-for-tat tariffs with major trading partners like China and the European Union.”

And CBS News reported Tuesday: “President Donald Trump pitched a wildly off-base claim about economic growth Monday as the White House used selective statistics to build a case that the economy is doing much better than when Barack Obama was in office.”

I believe most people with a stock portfolio would tell you that they never saw such rapid growth under an Obama administration. And maybe the trade war issue is an issue, maybe it’s not. I also believe the president is implementing a philosophy that some short-term pain will lead to long-term gain.

Regardless, Donald Jr. is right about one thing regarding the economy: “Well, abracadabra, Obama. We’re doing it.”
