Washington, June 25: United States President Donald Trump, known for impulsive use of Twitter, drew ridicule on Tuesday after he thanked himself the surge in US Stock Market. Social media users were quick to roast "Mr President", asking him whether he was acknowledging the efforts taken by his predecessor Barack Obama.

"Stock Market is heading for one of the best months (June) in the history of our Country. Thank you Mr. President! (sic)," Trump tweeted, crediting himself for the series of uptick in the securities and commodities market. Trump Imposes 'Hard-Hitting' Sanctions Against Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei

Trump's third-person address to himself did not go down well with a section of social media users, who called his tweet not only hilarious, but also "pathetic" and one bringing disrepute to the chair of President.

"Don’t you see how pathetic and needy that sounds? People all over the world are laughing at you, Donald. Laughing at your sad, desperate need for attention and praise," commented noted author Matthew Dicks.
