'JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!' Trump Is Responsible for Small Fraction of What He Claims

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump loves to talk about jobs.

“JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!” he tweeted in February.

“JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!” he added in April.

He emphasized the point earlier this month, tweeting, “JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!”

Donald Trump was back at it again on Wednesday, touting news that GM is selling its Lordstown, Ohio, plant to a company that will make “Electric Trucks,” as well as GM’s new plans to invest in the state and the 450 new jobs it will create. GM confirmed the plant’s sale to the New York Times. It also confirmed the investment plan, although it did not offer specifics about how much it intends to spend or how many jobs would be created as a result.

In November, the automotive giant announced plans to halt production a five North American factories and lay off nearly 15,000 employees. One of the plants tapped to close was its facility in Lordstown, which manufactured the Chevy Cruze. Trump responded by demanding GM “get a car that is selling well and put it back in.”

Though Trump has leaned heavily on claims that he is infusing company after company with new jobs, there’s reason to be skeptical. According to a report from ProPublica, the president is only responsible for 0.008 percent of the jobs he claims to have created, or 797 out of the 8.9 million jobs he’s said are on the way.

I highly recommend you read the ProPublica report, a lot of good data.
