Donald Trump referred to President Obama as “your president” during the first presidential debate on Monday, much to many people’s chagrin on social media.

Trump, made the reference after saying that the greatest threat facing the world is nuclear weapons. He then turned to Hillary Clinton and said, “Not global warming like you think and your President thinks,” referring to Obama.

The comment followed Trump doubling down on his false claims about the so-called birther conspiracy theory about Obama. People following the debate were immediately angered that Trump implied Obama is not his president.

He's OUR president, you pathetic little man.

Note that he just referred to Barack Obama as "your president." Not his, apparently.

Fed's Powell: PPI 'mixed,' next move unlikely to be a rate hike
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday said the latest report on U.S. producer prices was more "mixed" than "hot" given that prior data was revised lower even as the figures for April came in higher than expected. "I wouldn't call it hot, I'd call it mixed," Powell said at an event in Amsterdam after the Labor Department released the Producer Price Index for April. Asked if the recent run of higher-than-expected inflation might mean that the Fed's policy rate is not sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to the Fed's 2% target, Powell said "time will tell."
