White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took a swipe at liberals and the mainstream media Wednesday night, posting numerous economic success stories on social media while left-leaning users couldn’t help but hide their hatred for President Trump and his policies.
Sanders posted a series of patriotic tweets touting the President’s strong economic record and the blossoming American economy; highlighting recent polls that show two-thirds of Americans think the economy is “good or excellent,” recent economic gains for “working-class families,” and the success generated by recent GOP tax cuts.
66% of voters say the economy is "good" or "excellent" – the highest since 2001 – according to new Quinnipiac poll. America has turned a corner under the President’s strong leadership.

Low-income and working-class families are enjoying significant economic gains not experienced in nearly 20 years under policies implemented by the Trump administration

Huge news! Truly amazing and inspiring to witness the tax cuts lifting millions of hardworking Americans up.

Liberal users were quick to dismiss Sanders’ comments, either deflecting the good news or outright claiming that President Obama –not Trump- deserves credit for the gigantic economic recovery.
“This is just another lie, I know here in Florida that prices has gone up alone with electric, water, food, car insurance, House insurance, medical, Medicare, and Medicaid. So that 18.00 a pay check does not go very far! Just more BS lies from @PressSec,” wrote one user.
“America has not turned a corner. They have continued up the path set by Obama under whom the S&P500 tripled and Uunemployment halved, while inflation, interest rate and gas prices bottomed out, and car sales set record levels,” said another.
