CNN Host To Trump: 'You Can't Claim Christmas'
Donald Trump loves to take credit for things he had nothing to do with as long as they are positive and that continued after Christmas had passed.
He tweeted this on Sunday.
The world was gloomy before I won - there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!

CNN's Kate Bolduan started off her panel segment with Republican strategist Alice Stewart and said, "Alice, you can't claim Christmas. Let's just start there."
Even the Republican couldn't bend over that far and said, "That's true. That was kind of a stretch."
As usual, Trump's surrogates always need to interpret for us what Donald actually means since he speaks in a new language called Trumpinese.
Stewart continued, "We have seen tremendous rebounding and growth in the markets, based on his being the president-elect, due in large part to his campaign promises and what we do expect him to follow through on, which is reducing government regulations which has been a big threat to businesses not just in the United States but across the world. So his business policies are certainly helping the economy grow, and that certainly is something that's factually true in that tweet."
