Donald Trump is busy telling tall tales on Twitter this morning, claiming now that though he hasn’t yet taken office, he’s created many jobs and people are seeing “big stuff” from him.
With all of the jobs I am bringing back into the U.S. (even before taking office), with all of the new auto plants coming back into our…..

This is a remarkable claim coming on the heels of President Obama’s historic record of job creation. Trump “saved” 730 jobs at Carrier by bribing them, and he said he saved jobs at Chrysler despite Fiat Chrysler saying Trump had nothing to do with it.
President Obama, who has the longest job creation streak since 1939, has created 15 million jobs.
He really can’t get over the fact that he’s taking over from one of the most successful presidents in American history and that the country doesn’t really need him.
If Donald Trump’s 730 jobs at Carrier and a lie about saving jobs at Chrysler are “big stuff,” there is word grand enough to describe Barack Obama’s creation of 15 million jobs in the wake of the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression.
Trump says we’re seeing big stuff but all we’re seeing is big lies. Trump lied about the Carrier deal and he lied about the Chrysler “deal.” One thing you can say about Trump, when he lies, he lies “bigly” and without shame and it’s safe to say for the next four years we’ll be seeing more lies than the creation of jobs.
