Trump Plagiarizes From Exxon Press Release To Claim Credit For 2013 Jobs Investment

Donald Trump killed two birds with one stone on Monday, simultaneously taking credit for jobs he had no role in creating and plagiarizing from an Exxon Mobil press release.

It also shouldn’t go unnoticed that the president is lying when he takes credit for jobs that he is supposedly helping Exxon create. The investment plan outlined by the oil company on Monday was announced four years ago when Barack Obama was president.


“There is nothing new or newsworthy here,” said energy analyst Pavel Molchanov, according to the Chicago Tribune. “At the risk of stating the obvious, plenty of companies, across various industries, have been touting their U.S. job creation efforts in order to get on the Trump administration’s good side – even when the underlying job creation has little or nothing to do with Washington policy. This is simply the latest example of that.”

However, there was one new jobs announcement issued on Monday that the president was predictably silent about it. General Motors said it plans to lay off up to 1,100 of its workers from a plant in Lansing, Michigan.

Trump, who won the rust-belt state last fall by convincing enough voters that he would bring jobs back, has yet to comment on that development .
