Fox-Conned: After Trump’s healthcare debacle, next up is fake jobs and fiscal malpractice

Fox-Conned: After Trump’s healthcare debacle, next up is fake jobs and fiscal malpractice:

"Since being elected, Trump has brazenly taken credit for jobs and investments announced months or years earlier, as with Ford, Fiat-Chrysler, Exxon-Mobil, Softbank, and Lockheed-Martin. Or Trump falsifies the number of jobs created, as he did with Carrier when he inflated the jobs saved by 300. Or he ignores job cuts. He gushed over 900 jobs created in Michigan while ignoring 1,100 jobs GM eliminated at the same time in the state, for an actual loss of 200 jobs. Sometimes companies match bullsh*t for bullsh*t with Trump to curry favor. Intel’s CEO appeared by Trump’s side in January 2017 to tout a computer chip factory in Arizona. It’s the same exact factory the previous CEO announced by then-President Obama’s side in 2011 and which then had construction delays as demand waned."
