The tweet isn't conflating those things though. "Created" means to make something new that didn't exist before. This "fact-check" is rhetorical nonsense.
There are questions to have, such as who "we" is, how they were created, and where those jobs actually are located.
But the tweet is not trying to trick you into thinking the lost jobs magically appeared back - it clearly says new jobs were created. If this is the new Twitter, this is honestly embarrassing.
Biden is counting jobs lost that then came back in the "700,000 new jobs created." That is important context.
If I steal your TV, then give it back to you a few months later, I'm not donating a TV to you. If I did this and tweeted "I donated a TV to a person without one," the additional context of "he first stole this TV from this person" would be completely warranted.
This analogy makes no sense. You're saying Biden stole the jobs lost under Trump? What, he, a private citizen holding no office, put them in a big sack with a dollar sign on them, next to all his color televisions?
What the tweet is saying is that a man stole your TV, and then a different man claims to have made a new TV and given it to you. The fact-check is saying that the second man is just returning the TV stolen from you by the first-man, while also making and distributing over twice as many TVs as were stolen.
I don't think you actually think Trump stole tvs or jobs from you, so your analogy just kind of sucks
The democrat party stole the jobs lost under Trump. They were always going to naturally come back.
If you claim "well, that's not Biden personally" then, sure, but then neither were the regaining of the jobs, even if it occurred while he was in office. He can't have his cake and eat it, too.
What are you talking about?? Yes, someone can take credit for things that happened while they were leader, while dodging the blame for things that happened while they had no leadership roles. Your classic cake analogy is grievously misapplied.
I guess you can argue it doesn't matter who is President, but if that's the case, it doesn't really matter if Trump gets elected again, does it?
