Claimant: Donald Trump (R)
Claim: “Since I took office, we have created more than 1 million new private sector jobs.”
Rating: MOSTLY TRUE
Explanation: Employment had increased substantially since Trump began his second term, but the available federal data showed about 807,000 additional jobs, short of the more than 1 million he claimed. The figure was relatively close, but still overstated. (apnews.com)
