Trump lie claims Ivanka created 14m jobs. The entire economy only added 6m

Speaking in front of the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday, Donald Trump made a claim that stood out as extreme even among his nearly infinite catalogue of bizarre lies. His daughter Ivanka Trump, an unelected government official, was directly responsible for the creation of 14 million jobs, he said.
“When she started this two and half years ago, her goal was 500,000 jobs,” the US president said.
Trump’s daughter is the co-chair of the White House workforce policy advisory board.
“She’s now created 14m jobs. And they’re being trained by these great companies – the greatest companies in the world – because the government can’t train them,” he said to applause from the crowd.
Lest one be left with the impression that this lie was sufficiently ridiculous, the president appended it immediately with an even more exaggerated prognostication. “Fourteen million … and going up,” he said.
Since Trump took office, the entire economy has added only about 6m jobs as of October

Maybe they are talking about adding jobs in China, not the United States...

That was my first thought as well...
Although the Chinese probably wouldn't laugh

Wow! If the economy added 6 million jobs, and Ivanka added 14 million, that's a total of 20 million jobs! Holy cow! We'll have to start importing millions of Mexicans to fill all those jobs if this keeps up.

God help me! I'm agreeing with Kev! Ivanka should NOT be in the White House except to visit
her father on occasion. She should stick to making purses and shoes.
