Richochet jobs. You bounce them off the wall. If they don’t bounce back, you go unemployed. Bow bow bow… ---

Isn’t this a question better asked of Trump than of us? And if he doesn’t know the answer, then you also know just how true his claims of job-creation are. ---

Trump will be the greatest job creator in the history of America. Only losers won’t have jobs once Trump’s president. 100% employment every day, because losers don’t count. We like winners in America. Are you a winner? Vote Trump. ---

As the original poster of the question I greatly amused by these answers, but I thought some brainy person with a political science background would come up with a serious answer. I was thinking maybe he will drum up more war in the middle east and therefore all countries will buy more weapons and arms and boost the US GDP through weapons sells thus creating more jobs manufacturing military arms. Or maybe he will take out Russia who competes for weapons sells and steal their business. Or, maybe since he said he would like to lower minimum wage, increase tariffs, he will create more jobs by undercutting the Chinese minimum wage of $2. and all the manufacturing of cheap crap from China will move to the the US. ---

The only thing I’ve heard him say that might realistically affect domestic job growth was that he’d like to increase tariffs on imported goods. ---

> [@Sputnikkk](#): > > As the original poster of the question I greatly amused by these answers, but I thought some brainy person with a political science background would come up with a serious answer. There is no serious answer. Trump does not have a fucking clue about how to create more jobs. Scratch that. He does not have a fucking clue, period.
