President Donald Trump hosted an event with business leaders to discuss financial relief to small businesses on Tuesday. During the event, Trump also made a surprising claim that his daughter Ivanka Trump created 15 million jobs.
“My daughter Ivanka Trump who just wants to have people working,” Donald Trump said, according to Mail Online. “I gave her lots of options. What do you like? She created over 15 million jobs working with some of you, but working with the biggest companies in the world.”
Donald Trump added that Ivanka’s initial goal was only half a million jobs. “They were training and training like nobody's ever seen,” the POTUS said. “She started off with a goal of 500,000 jobs, and now she's up to over 15 million.”
“The foundation of our economy was so incredibly strong until this virus hit,” Ivanka Trump said. But since the coronavirus outbreak started, unemployment claims have surpassed 10 million.
Many were wondering how Donald Trump might have gotten his figures. According to Vox, Donald Trump’s claim of 15 million jobs is about 10 percent of all the jobs in the United States based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The publication also noted that back in November, Donald Trump also claimed that Ivanka has “gotten jobs for 14 million people.” This meant that Ivanka was pretty busy since then to come up with a million new employment opportunities in such a short span of time.
There are speculations that the POTUS might be referring to “Ivanka’s work on an advisory board that she co-chairs, but there’s no evidence that this board has created anywhere close to 15 million jobs.” Due to the board’s efforts, companies offered more than 6.5 million training opportunities to workers.
As astounding as that might sound, the 6.5 million figures still fall short to the 15 million jobs claimed by the President. It must also be noted that “a training opportunity is not the same thing as an actual job.”
It is yet unclear how Donald Trump came up with the number. There are those who believe that it is untrue.
“Trump just told the completely egregious lie that Ivanka Trump ‘created over 15 million jobs,’” Aaron Rupar posted on Twitter. “That would be more than twice the total number of jobs created in the country before coronavirus wrecked the economy.”
