Former-President Barack Obama spent at least some of his 56th birthday on Friday sorting through numerous tweets from well-wishers, including his wife and former VP.
Another year older, but the same phenomenal guy I married nearly 25 years ago. Happy birthday, @BarackObama — we love you so much! pic.twitter.com/3WrcGiKgz1

Your service has been a great gift to the country, and your friendship and brotherhood are a great gift to me. Happy birthday, @BarackObama. pic.twitter.com/1uSEkU01k9

But the Republican Party decided to mark the occasion a whole other way, by trolling the former president with a tweet about President Trump’s job numbers so far.
1 million new jobs in 6 months
209k new jobs in July
Unemployment rate at 16 yr low
Thanks, @POTUS! pic.twitter.com/5vQaEY9nQP— GOP (@GOP) August 4, 2017
The posted video intersperses the former president’s statements about certain jobs “never coming back” with footage of announcements about actual jobs, well, coming back.
Because of President Trump’s efforts and/or business friendly policies.
“1 million new jobs in 6 months. 209k new jobs in July. Unemployment rate at 16 yr low. Thanks, @POTUS!,” said the tweet.
The video includes Foxconn’s plans for a $10 billion Wisconsin plant and up to 3,000 new jobs, but it also could have featured news that came out on Obama’s birthday – a $1.6 billion plant jointly owned by Toyota and Mazda that could feature up to 4,000 jobs, according to Fox News.

Here’s a sampling of Twitter reaction to the GOP’s trolling attempt:
Sorry winning #Trump #MAGA and its only been 6 months. Leftist have nothing but job killing ideas rules & regs stifle economy.

The #TrumpTrain, which is as strong as ever, is fully aware of HIS accomplishments. We’re also fully aware of your failure to support him

@BarackObama how does it feel to already be remembered as the worst president only six months since leaving office? Must be a new record

Not only that, Jimmy Carter must be pretty relieved he lost the title. ??????
