Trump touts $9 trillion in new U.S. investment. The numbers don't add up.​

After President Trump was pressed on rising consumer prices and slowing economic growth, he defended his tariff policies by claiming they had spurred record investment in the United States.

"I think we probably have close to $9 trillion of investments coming into this country," Mr. Trump said in an interview on NBC's Meet the Press that aired Sunday. "If you look at other presidents, there's never been anything like that."

He has also repeatedly claimed that he secured more investment in his first two months than President Biden did in four years.

Neither claim is supported by evidence, CBS News Confirmed found. While companies have announced hundreds of billions of dollars in planned investments since Mr. Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration, the White House has not provided data showing the total approaches $9 trillion.

Additionally, a CBS News review found that some investments highlighted by the White House were announced before Mr. Trump's reelection. The comparison to the Biden administration is also misleading: the president is citing future investments pledges, while contrasting them with a narrower list of projects that were in the works or completed by the end of his predecessor's term.

TRUMP EFFECT: A Running List of New U.S. Investment in President Trump’s Second Term

Since President Donald J. Trump took office, his unwavering commitment to revitalizing American industry has spurred trillions of dollars of investments in U.S. manufacturing, production, and innovation — and the list only continues to grow.

Here is a non-comprehensive running list of new U.S.-based investments in President Trump’s second term:

• Project Stargate, led by Japan-based Softbank and U.S.-based OpenAI and Oracle, announced a $500 billion private investment in U.S.-based artificial intelligence infrastructure.
• Apple announced a $500 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing and training.
• NVIDIA, a global chipmaking giant, announcedit will invest $500 billion in U.S.-based AI infrastructure over the next four years amid its pledge to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time.
• IBM announced a $150 billion investment over the next five years in its U.S.-based growth and manufacturing operations.

He is referring to pledges made by companies around the world. These pledges typically involve investments over a number of years, totaling said pledge. Is a pledge a guarantee? No, they could technically back out at any moment, but its a very good sign to be optimistic about.

If they’re receiving disability or unemployment they sure as hell wont

If they’re receiving disability or unemployment they sure as hell wont

1. First of all, the lack of people applying, is a possibility. But, that would mean that the jobs got to the point of being there, even if the result is a massive labor crunch.

2. IMO, plenty of people on disability or unemployment, if given the chance of a real job, would jump at it.

Yea, right. Nobody cares. It was a farce from the beginning and everyone knows. When Harvard law professors who hate Trump say the entire premise was bullshit, it was bullshit. To try to twist long-expired misdemenors into felonies was absolutely absurd. I've seen videos on the absurdity of that trial. Literally, the jury was told they could PICK one of three different things they thought Trump did, DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO BE A MAJORITY ON ONE. Just if Trump did any one of the three things listed, find him guilty. How the fuck do you defend that shit when you don't even know what you're being accused of? That is literally the definition of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

Yea, a farce. It will easily be overturned on appeal.
