It's safe to assume because it's SOP for politicians. You aren't saying anything that hasn't been true of any incoming president in my lifetime. Hell, it's often true in the private sector during a management change.

10 million net jobs were created during the Obama administration. How many of those did he tweet about?

  More than 80% of those were low skills service jobs. The jobs Trump is creating and the factories he saved are high skilled high paying jobs.

    Are you referring to Carrier, where some of the 1,100 jobs supposedly saved were never moving to Mexico? They're going to invest some of the money they're getting from the government into automation to further replace human workers. Or Ford, which was never moving the jobs in question out of the country. Or something else?

    Presidents don't create jobs or lose them. The demands of the economy do that. Presidents can influence the economy, but they also have Congress and the Fed to deal with.

  His administration has certainly issued press releases about them. This is getting silly. It is 100% in line for all politicians to claim credit for everything they can, and many things they can't.

  We are really going to pretend that he and his supporters didn't credit for it?

  Tweet? No. Press Releases? Plenty of them. You could have just done a Google search.[1] And when Obama started tweeting before the 2008 election, everyone thought he was so "with it" in terms of technology. Trump does it and it's a problem.
