Does "Job Creation" count if it was only for your own profit? [View all]

Trump's push back on many issues is his role as a "job creator". While his companies clearly did hire people over the last several decades, those jobs were created for his own personal profit. Not sure you can claim job creation as a response to sacrifice or helping the country. Someone who creates jobs that do not directly put money in their own pocket is a jobs creator. Every time it is used by him or his surrogates, it is disingenuous and falsely attempts to portray him as giving something for nothing. He has never done that.
