So Agent Orange is bringing back jobs? What will he do about these jobs?

Thousands of people are impacted. Mining jobs and manufacturing jobs are not the only jobs this country has lost. The reasons are deeper the than jobs being stolen by other countries. Robotics and mechanical technology is more responsible for manufacturing and mining jobs to be lost than many other factors. The internet is devastating face to face retail sales.

Make sure they pay peanuts and whine that poor people are lazy when they won't take jobs that don't feed them.

we're building stage coaches again. He has no concept of what he's saying other than having used these people to have gotten elected. I think he's going to find himself in a very bad political position when these people finally wake the fuck up and comprehend they've been had.

major failure. We will be creating Jobs alright. They will be Ground Personnel for the Army and Marines. Understand,can not get the real hard numbers,that the Recruiting Stations are not making their goal numbers bigly.

Cutting Federal jobs has always cost massive job losses in segments of the economy that support and serve Federal workers who are among the best paid employees in our economy.

The question is how long will the "misunderstood and forgotten" white working class racists in middle America tolerate his lies.

like the people who order MAGA shirts and crap made in China, and try to sell that garbage online.
Just a handful of foolish chumps who think that counts, I guess?
"lookit me trump created a job for me"
fast forward to a few months later, closed website because they can't pay the fees, and boxes of trump merchandise in their garage.
LOL

He said Trump HAS created thousands of jobs. What jobs? The ones he really did not create because the companies had already been planning that before he was dictator? The miners are not back to work yet so who got permanent jobs because of Trump ( not counting his cabinet? ) Hundreds of people who work federal and state jobs are about to lose theirs when all of the government programs are closed. So, I ask again, where are the jobs he has already created?

. . . is almost as patently hilarious in the face of near-pure Capitalism's brilliant long-term "plan" of underpaying/not employing an entire generation that it just indebted beyond it's ability to purchase; this while simultaneously mass-firing workers from the two preceding generations, whose spending is one of the few things propping up the consumer-based economy.

Oh, and I'd sure like to hear their solution to automation. Costly college? Lower-wage retail jobs? A Guaranteed Minimum Income that's never going to come to pass in Protestant Work Ethic-addled, "earn yer keep" America?
