Of the many promises made by Donald Trump during his campaign, none of which have been kept, two have been touted by your illegitimate president as successes. Trump promised to bring back manufacturing jobs, and restore employment in the coal mining industry. Although Trump recently bragged about accomplishing his promises, the facts are that he is simply lying to the American people.

Trump based his braggadocio on a favorable jobs report. The truth is that there was little change in manufacturing, coal mining employment, or construction. But that didn’t stop deputy White House Spokesman Sanders from lying to the media and the public.

“We especially saw expansion in the sectors of the economy the president has had a particular focus on: construction, manufacturing and mining.” Later in the briefing: “Primarily the places where we saw the most growth in this jobs report were in manufacturing, coal miners, other places.”

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the daughter of religious fanatic, Mike Huckabee. Maybe the minister should inform his daughter that lying is a sin.

Facts: Construction is recovering slowly, thanks to programs put in place by President Obama. Manufacturing jobs are not returning to America. Trump’s executive order benefited the owners of coal mines, but had little or no effect on the miners themselves; automation has removed many of their jobs.

Donnie boy; you can continue to lie; and you will; but the truth always surfaces, and you are now underwater. It would be nice to hear the truth just once from the White House. The only jobs Trump has created are the hiring of additional fact checkers by the news agencies.
