Lie February 7, 2020 · Speech · Jobs

“Through our Pledge to America's Workers -- spearheaded by a young woman that perhaps some of you may have heard of, Ivanka Trump -- over 415 companies have committed -- these are the big companies, for the most part -- have committed to providing new jobs and training opportunities to nearly 15 million Americans. You know, when she started, she said, 'Daddy, I want to help people get jobs.' This was at the beginning of the administration. She said, 'I'm working on 500,000 jobs.' So she'd call Walmart. She called all these great companies. So she had a goal of 500,000 -- half a million jobs. Sounds like a lot. I said, 'That's a lot.' She just broke 15 million jobs. Amazing. Fifteen million.”
