Donald Trump's fake news about the number of jobs created by his daughter Ivanka
The US president does not hesitate to say that his daughter and advisor Ivanka has created 14 million jobs in two and a half years. "The Obs" takes stock.
So quick to denounce fake news, Donald Trump embarked on a boundless apology for his daughter and advisor Ivanka:
“When she started two and a half years ago, her goal was 500,000 jobs. It has now created 14 million. "
And the American president to thank Ivanka, the one who "did an extraordinary job", as shown in the video below.
14 million in two and a half years? The enormity of the figure does not embarrass Donald Trump. No embarrassment, even if, since his election in 2016, nearly three times less have been created in the United States, or 5 million in early 2019.
And, according to Oxford Economics, nearly 2 million are expected to be added for the year 2019. At best, that will be 7 million jobs.
Donald Trump is exaggerating. He even exaggerates a lot. The fact remains that the US economy has something to be envious of. In September, the private sector created 135,000 jobs, less than the 150,000 forecast, but job creations in the United States are strong enough to keep the unemployment rate stable at 3.7%, close to its peak. low level in fifty years.
