Deplorable on C-Span verbatim. "It's amazing all the jobs Donald brought in."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Sears closing
Limited closing
American Apparel closing
Loews reduction in work force

Add em up, you fricking moron. There are more jobs lost than the jobs Donald brought in.


Here is the point, you fricking moron. In an economy as large and complex as ours ten of thousands of jobs are being gained and lost every month.

2. Perception is reality.

That's something our party always seems to have a shit time trying to understand.

6. No, reality is reality.

Propaganda is propaganda.

9. And yet ...

we continue to lose elections to people who promote policies that are detrimental to the very people who vote for them.

To millions of voters, Hillary Clinton was a tool of powerful corporate interests. In reality, that is a laughable idea. But "reality" doesn't vote.

3. Unemployment ticked up .1 since he claimed job creation.

But "wishful thinking" trumps fact when one lives in a bubble.

4. We can use any metric you want-Labor Participation Rate, Unemployment Rate, U-6

Let's see where they are on 1/20/18.

5. I watched the entire 3 hours plus.

Some of the callers want a Theocracy.

Some of the callers want to abolish ALL protest.

They said protest have never changed anything in history.

One male caller wanted to know why he had to pay for women's rubbers.

One caller wanted to know why the state of California didn't share it's wealth with poor states.

She basically blamed all the problems of the country on California.

Apparently she doesn't know how state governments work.

One caller referenced abortion as the murder of babies.

The majority of callers were misinformed or totally uninformed.

It is truly frightening and sickening.

7. Feelz over Realz. No wonder Trump wants to destroy education

8. What Jobs?

We do not even have to talk about the stores that are closing. We can just talk about the lack of jobs brought in by Donald Trump. In reality there are only 300 jobs that can truly be connected to Donald Trump. However, we can be generous with him and give him credit for jobs he had no hand in creating. We can give him credit for the full 1,000-1,100 jobs being saved at Carrier. Soft Bank will bring in 50,000 jobs over around four years. I believe the 5,000 Sprint jobs are included in the Soft Bank jobs, but we will count them separately. Then there are the 700 jobs from Ford. I may have missed a few jobs somewhere, but lets add together the jobs I can remember. Donald Trump can be credited with the creation of 56,600 jobs since he has been elected. At face value that may seem like a large amount of jobs for a guy who has not even been sworn in yet, but when compared to what was going on at the same time it is a very small number. At the same time that Trump is credited with creating 56,600 jobs the Obama Administration created about 362,000. Trump's inflated number is still about one-sixth the amount created by the Obama Administration at the same time.

We could also make the argument that President Obama should get credit for all of those jobs, except the Carrier deal, since he was still President when all the announcements were made. The Carrier deal was made in Indiana where Mike Pence was Governor. Since when does someone get credit for job creation before they have been sworn in as President. If jobs are being created while a President is in office the policies of that President are the reasons those jobs are being created. If that President's policies were bad for business businesses would not be creating jobs while that person is still in office.
