Donald J. ✔ @realDonaldTrump Just arrived in Italy for the G7. Trip has been very successful. We made and saved the USA many billions of dollars and millions of jobs. 3:13 AM – 26 May 2017 12,355 12,355 Retweets 60,113 60,113 likes Twitter Ads info &  Donald J. Trump 

Any casual inspection of President Trump’s trip itinerary or the news coverage over the past few days reveals that, as noted by Fortune magazine, “there weren’t any large financial agreements announced at the NATO summit or other public deals on Trump’s trip that dealt with ‘billions of dollars.’”

Nor were there any agreements, discussions, or deals that would have saved “millions” of American jobs, which is obviously a ridiculously hyperbolic figure with absolutely no relation to reality.

The one thing that Trump did that was remotely related to the economy was sign a $110 billion arms deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, authorizing the sale of advanced precision weapons systems that the Obama administration had refused to sell to the world’s biggest sponsor of terrorism and with one of the world’s worst human rights records.

While that is wonderful news for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the rest of the military-industrial complex, it’s not such good news for the American people.
