Number 4:

“We have created 5.3 million new jobs and importantly added 600,000 new manufacturing jobs — something which almost everyone said was impossible to do, but the fact is, we are just getting started.”

This is false.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that since January 2017, when Mr. Trump took office, the economy has added 4.9 million jobs, including 454,000 jobs manufacturing jobs. Far from being “impossible,” that is closely comparable to the pace of job creation during some two-year periods during the Obama administration, and significantly slower than the pace of job creation in manufacturing in the 1990s.

LOL, Slimes!

Some two-year periods of Obama?! Funny. Some.

Here's Obama's OWN words on job creation in the USA:

“What we have to do is to make sure that folks are trained for the jobs that are coming in now because some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back,” Obama said bluntly during the event broadcast on PBS.

But Obama was skeptical that Trump could fulfill his promise.

“There’s no answer to it. He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have?” Obama asked. “And usually, the answer is he doesn’t have an answer.” Obama insisted that the “good old days” of manufacturing were over, thanks to technology.

Proof. Trump ten times the job maker than the "Err...those jobs, err.. are just not comin' back" Obamanation!

Five:

Wages were “growing for blue-collar workers, who I promised to fight for. They are growing faster than anyone thought possible.”

This is true.

Wages are rising faster for construction and manufacturing workers than workers in service occupations, according to the Labor Department.

And true BECAUSE of Donald J. Trump, you 19 slimes!

Referring to Obama's quote I put in number 4, I guess Donald Trump DID have a magic wand!
