Obama Wishes This Video of Him Mocking Trump’s Promise on Jobs Never Existed

During a town hall event hosted by PBS in the middle of the presidential election last year, then-President Barack Obama mocked then-GOP presidential nominee Donald

Trump’s vision of bringing jobs back to America.

“(W)hen somebody says … that he’s going to bring all these jobs back, well how exactly are you going to do that?” Obama said, according to RealClearPolitics. “What are you going to do?”

“There’s — there’s no answer to it,” he further claimed. “He just says, ‘Well, I’m going to negotiate a better deal.’ Well, how — what — how exactly are you going to negotiate that? What magic wand do you have? And usually, the answer is he doesn’t have an answer.”

You sure about that?
Trump’s magic wand was deregulation, and according to sources on both the left and the right, it’s worked like a charm.

“The American job market is the strongest it’s been in a decade, and arguably the strongest since 2000,” The New York Times noted in a tweet Friday.

The tweet linked to a more comprehensive piece that included indisputable evidence of the job market’s rebound.

“The latest evidence of the revival came Friday, when the Labor Department reported that American employers added 228,000 jobs in November,” the Times reported.

“The unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent, the lowest since 2000. Job growth has slowed since its peak in 2014 but remains remarkably steady: For the first time on record, employers have added jobs every month for more than seven years — 86 months, to be precise.”

Responding to this news, the editorial board of Investor’s Business Daily rightly noted that “it can no longer really be doubted: Donald Trump’s relentless focus on tax cuts, deregulation and draining the swamp is great for job growth.”

Even The Economist, a fairly leftist outlet not prone to praising the president, has praised Trump’s policies, noting last month that “the new approach in Washington does seem to have boosted business confidence.”

And consumer confidence as well, I might add.

The tragic part of all this is that Obama could have notched the same economic victories had he simply discarded his mistaken beliefs about the benefits of “wealth redistribution” and embraced the business community.

Instead he pursued his socialist ideology over commonsense policies, and the result was not great for America. To be fair, the economy did improve under Obama, but only marginally — and that’s the point.

All it would have taken is for Mr. Arrogant to stop being such a know-it-all, but apparently that was simply too much to ask from Obama.
