Trump: Ivanka Has Created 14 Million Jobs
President Donald Trump made a rather stunning claim during a speech at the Economic Club of New York crediting his daughter Ivanka Trump for creating 14 million jobs.
President Trump is known for his hyperbolic rhetorical flourish, but even then 14 million jobs is a REALLY HUGE number, and it is unclear what research he is sourcing here.
“And when she started this, two and half years ago, her goal was 500,000 Jobs,” Trump said — White House’s “Pledge to America’s Workers.” He added, “She has now created 14 million Jobs and they are being trained by these great companies, the greatest companies in the world because the government cannot train them. It’s a great thing.”
Blue-checked Twitter had a predictable response to this seemingly remarkable claim, a couple of which are surfaced here for your reading pleasure:
Every now and then one of these lunatic claims jumps out:
-Trump just claimed that Ivanka T has “created 14 million jobs.”
-TOTAL US employment rise in past 3 years, including normal population growth, is around 6 million. Share of that via Ivanka????
If reality mattered.

Trump falsely/nonsensically claims Ivanka Trump has “created 14 million jobs” through the Pledge to America’s Workers. These are education and training opportunities, many of them for existing employees and many planned before/entirely independent of the Pledge.

Trump on what kind of world leaders can visit his White House: "Dictators, it's okay come on in." He is currently facing bipartisan criticism for inviting Turkey's Erdogan to the White House. pic.twitter.com/eL2kBHMX6a
