It's good to see networks standing up for each other when Trump attacks.
http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/18/media/nbc-today-show-donald-trump-tweets/index.html
It is actually America's highest-rated morning show among 25- to 54-year-olds, the key demographic for advertisers, and it is just 100,000 viewers behind ABC's "Good Morning America" among all viewers.
The high-rated morning show attracted Trump's ire on Wednesday by broadcasting a report that cast doubt on his job-creating record.
The report -- part of a new franchise called "Today's Fact Check" -- called Trump's impact "very small or non-existent."
Trump called that assertion "fake news."
"Ask top CEO's of those companies for real facts," he wrote, insisting that packages of jobs "came back because of me!"
The facts are much more complicated. As NBC, CNN and other news outlets have reported, a number of big companies have announced previously-planned investments in the United States in ways that allow Trump to take credit.

He's getting played by corporate PR spin, and then spinning us!
While it's true Republican control of Congress and the presidency can be considered as a more favorable tax and profit environment for corporate interests, it would have been so if any one of the Republican primary candidates had won.
Corrupt Trump is insane.

(7,403 posts)Is a tiny fraction of the new jobs created on a monthly basis. Not only that but this is the period when companies make their annual reports. My guess is that if you went back exactly one year you would find similar messages coming for corporate America.
