re: Obama: When you hear economy is improving, 'remember who started it’...

"Six months ago, we unleashed an economic miracle by signing the biggest tax cuts and reforms ... the biggest tax cuts in American history," Trump said at an event in July.

The Associated Press fact-checker called this statement an "exaggeration," pointing out the economy has been expanding for the past ten years.

The tax cuts are also not the largest in U.S. history.

Obama during the Monday rally said economic growth during his presidency could partially be attributed to his administration "making sure the wealthiest Americans, folks like me, paid their fair share of taxes."

Obama has been stumping for Democrats across the country ahead of the November midterms, emerging from his year of relative silence on the Trump administration.

He has been vocal in his criticisms of the president since stepping back into the spotlight.

"Unlike some, I actually try to state facts," Obama said. "I believe in facts. I believe in a fact-based reality, fact-based politics. I don't believe in just making stuff up. I think you should actually say to people what's true."
