Donald Trump Ridiculously Takes Credit for Red Sox Winning Streak on Twitter
By Michael Luciano
After a pathetic start to the season, the Boston Red Sox have righted the ship and have finally gotten above the .500 mark. What's the reason for this turnaround? Chris Sale and the rotation finally getting back on track? The lineup starting to round into form?
Well, if you listen to Donald Trump, it's his good mojo that has Boston, who recently visited him at the White House, that has spurned the White Sox into action.
Has anyone noticed that all the Boston @RedSox have done is WIN since coming to the White House! Others also have done very well. The White House visit is becoming the opposite of being on the cover of Sports Illustrated! By the way, the Boston players were GREAT guys!

Is there anything this guy won't take credit for? Keep in mind, he couldn't spell the team name correctly a couple days ago. Suddenly, he's the team's good luck charm?
Maybe playing a pretty poor Seattle Mariner rotation that was walloped over the course of a three-game sweep at home is a more logical reason for the Red Sox finding their groove.
Hi. We scored 34 runs this weekend.

Boston has won 16 of their last 22 games, including three in a row since visiting the White House, but don't worry, Trump will claim the other 13 victories and people will believe him. What's next? Him asking Alex Cora to send him a thank you card if the Red Sox wiggle into the postseason?
