President-elect Donald Trump hasn't even taken office yet, but he's already taking credit for things — including the gifts you bought for family and friends. His claim about increased Christmas spending comes from a September survey from the consulting firm Deloitte. Data on holiday spending, published by the Economist, actually found retail spending during the holiday season is down, partly because people are buying seasonal gifts online throughout the year. Twitter users criticized Trump for taking credit for Christmas, saying it was typical of the president-elect's inflated ego.
