Trump, 79, Brags His Government ‘Created No New Jobs’ During Shutdown

During a speech in South Korea on Wednesday, President Donald Trump took the time to brag about job creation during his presidency, focusing entirely on the private sector, as the government shutdown that has seen federal employees work without pay drags on.

Trump delivered the keynote speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEOs luncheon in Gyeongju, South Korea, on Wednesday, and bragged about job creation in the private sector, adding that “the government created no new jobs.”

“100 percent of all new jobs created in America under my administration have been created by the private sector. Think of that. The government created no new jobs. The private sector created the record number of jobs that we’re talking about. That’s a country, that’s really a success,” he said.
