Why should we be surprised?

“Totally biased @NBCNews went out of its way to say that the big announcement from Ford, G.M., Lockheed & others that jobs are coming back to the U.S., but had nothing to do with TRUMP, is more FAKE NEWS,” Trump tweeted. “Ask top CEO’s of those companies for real facts. Came back because of me!”

The tweets followed an article published Tuesday from Ben Popken of NBC News that analyzed the announcements by numerous companies since Trump’s election of plans to create jobs in the US.

With Trump having often used his Twitter account to attack companies like General Motors for planning to move jobs outside the US, Popken cited analysts who said some firms seemed to be jumping out ahead of the president-elect’s criticism by making early announcements.

As noted by Popken, not all of the recent announcements have involved actual new jobs attributable to Trump. Some also appear to involve job creation that had long been planned and only announced after the election, while have others involved jobs that were never moving in the first place.
