President-elect Donald Trump took credit for creating 8,000 jobs on Wednesday, although 3,000 of those were announced 10 days ago.
Speaking at his Mar-a-Largo estate in Palm Beach, Florida, during his working holiday, Trump said: “I was just called by the head people at Sprint and they are going to be bringing 5,000 jobs back to the United States."
Ten days ago the company announced an investment from Japanese investor SoftBank that will lead to the creation of 3,000 new jobs.

“Because of what’s happening and the spirit and the hope I was just called by the head people at Sprint and they’re going to be bringing 5,000 jobs back to the United States,” Trump told reporters Wednesday outside his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago.
Trump had vowed during his campaign that he would force the company to abandon plans to move the jobs to Mexico.
This month, IBM Chief Executive Officer Ginni Rometty - a Trump economic adviser - announced just before a meeting with Trump that she planned to hire 25,000 people in the U.S. and invest $1 billion over the next four years.
