Why should we be surprised?

“Totally biased @NBCNews went out of its way to say that the big announcement from Ford, G.M., Lockheed & others that jobs are coming back to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS,” Trump tweeted. “Ask top CEO’s of those companies for real facts. Came back because of me!”

The tweets followed an article published Tuesday from Ben Popken of NBC News that analyzed the announcements by numerous companies since Trump’s election of plans to create jobs in the US.

With Trump having often used his Twitter account to attack companies like General Motors for planning to move jobs outside the US, Popken cited analysts who said some firms seemed to be jumping out ahead of the president-elect’s criticism by making early announcements.

As noted by Popken, not all of the recent announcements have involved actual new jobs attributable to Trump. Some also appear to involve job creation that had long been planned and only announced after the election, while have others involved jobs that were never moving in the first place.

    This so called deal maker can’t even lock down a Springsteen cover band for his inauguration. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9f3592b6f5497ff588680eddefaac7de9dd8e3b048e0d7c284cf08d8df7cc634.jpg .

    If I put Donald Trump gives the best BJ’s, do you think he will follow me? I think he will so I won’t even try it. If anyone in the world compliments this moron, he ties his dingy on to their ship. He must have the lowest self-esteem of any 70 year old EVER. Most older people I know have the “I don’t give a flying eff what you think” attitude. Why does rump care so much about what others think about him?

      That’s one good thing about aging…not caring what people think about you so much.

      Unless you’re a perpetual adolescent like Rump.

        I guess that is why he continues to give a flip. I am in my 40’s and I don’t give a flip what most think about me. I care if you sign my paycheck but that is about it lol.

          You’re in your forties. AWE ,You’re such a Sweet Young Thing. :+)

    • fahvel January 19th, 2017 at 09:26

      because Suz he has absolutely no sense of self and no self respect -damn, he’s had to buy all his wives!

    • oldfart January 19th, 2017 at 10:25

      There’s an odd chance that he may actually wish to be remembered
      for something or someone he never was…for something he never did.
      Instead of a permanent stain on our country’s history…
      That no amount of bleach will ever remove.

    If Trump gets credit for new hirings since he was elected then he gets the blame for these too:

    Since Trump was elected:
    American Apparel is laying off 2,400
    PG&E laid off 1300
    Boeing laid off 600
    The Limited filed bankruptcy laying off 4,000
    ZTE laid of 3,000
    Macy’s announced another 6300 layoffs coming
    Ericsson announced 1,000 layoffs
    Sitel cut 800 jobs
    Kroger issued mandatory buyouts to 2,000 workers (The expensive experienced ones)
    Toyota N Kentucky 650 layoffs
    Volvo Dublin plant laid off 500
    UniCredit 14,000 layoffs
    SunPower 2,500 layoffs
    Mylan cut 3,500 jobs
    Transamerica cut 800
    General Mills cut 600
    Rolls-Royce Marine cut 400
    Volkswagon announced plans to layoff 30,000 Americans by 2020
    And these are just layoffs of 400 or more

    but he did hire 2 new dishwashers at the trump tower hamburger stand

    • The Original Just Me January 19th, 2017 at 02:52

      He put them to work BUT did they get PAID ????

    • basedonfact January 20th, 2017 at 09:31

      He IMPORTED 2 FOREIGN workers because his ad in the back page of the local newspaper in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas failed to produce any applicants for a DC job

    To pumpkin head, everything is a real estate deal.

    He treats f these global manufacturer’s like they are painting contractors for one of his gaudy $hit hotels .

    The fact of the matter is that companies like Ford deal with a hundred different countries, and all of these countries want more jobs.

    If Ford decides to screw pumpkin head and pull jobs it is going to look a lot worse for pumpkin head than it will for Ford

    ‘Taking personal credit for the accomplishments of others’ — as well as his daily bouts of petulance via Twitter — continue to be fundamental components of Donnie’s damaged psyche.

    Of coarse they come back because of Trump. Somebody has to do something ” FOR ” The United States and That Sure The Hell ISN’T TRUMP.

    There is a reason the term is president elect.
    Your frothing RWNJ’s will always be happy to give you credit for everything BEFORE you take office…that’s what republicans do…
    They will also take it out on you, when you’re in office and you don’t make America great again. And so will I…That’s what Americans do.
    Here’s a snap shot of what you have to make GREATER again…
    Knock yourself out.
