8,000 New US Jobs? Trump Takes Credit For Sprint, Startup Decisions (usatoday.com)
President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Sprint is moving 5,000 offshore jobs back to the United States and OneWeb, a satellite Internet startup, is adding 3,000 more jobs in the U.S. From a report on USA Today: The jobs were made possible, Trump said, through Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, a Japanese billionaire and technology investor, who met with Trump in New York earlier this month. After that meeting, the two businessmen announced Softbank would invest $50 billion in the U.S. and create 50,000 jobs. Softbank owns 80% of Sprint and this month it invested $1 billion in OneWeb, a venture that intends to offer affordable Internet access. Son called the investment a "first step" in his commitment to Trump.
Those 5K jobs were part of a previous announcement from before Trump was elected.

Just imagine for when Trump gets his twitter bot code back from the Indian shop! Maybe they will even make it go directly to the presidential alert feed that can't be turned off!
