4) forget to mention that your definition of 'create job' is 'take it from some other business which must fire a person and move this position to (amazon)'

  "Amazon to get rid of 100,000 warehouse workers due to automation by 2020" just doesn't have the same ring to it!

Yep. Once I read the first sentence I knew I was reading bs: "Amazon.com Inc. revealed plans to hire more than 100,000 people in the U.S. in the next 18 months, grabbing the spotlight as President-elect Donald Trump pushes companies to employ more Americans." What the heck does this have to do with Donald Trump?

  They are just trying to get ahead of Trump taking credit for the new jobs, like he has done repeatedly since he was elected. Edit: Haha, never mind, looks like the Trump Administration is already taking credit: "The announcement was made after the president-elect met with heads of several other tech companies and urge them to keep their jobs and production inside the United States," Sean Spicer, the incoming press secretary, said on a call with media outlets Thursday. "The president-elect was pleased to have played a role in that decision by Amazon." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-12/amazon-to-create-more-than-100-000-new-jobs-in-u-s-in-18-months https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-12/amazon-to...

Trump has historically bad approval ratings for a new president. Expect to see stories like this for the next 4 years.
