Sprint, OneWeb say 8,000 jobs announced by Trump are part of SoftBank pledge

Sprint in January said it had cut 2,500 jobs as part of its plan to cut $2.5 billion in costs. On Wednesday it said it would create 5,000 jobs in areas including sales and customer care by the end of its fiscal year ending in March 2018.

Sprint spokesman Dave Tovar said the jobs were part of the pledge made by Son but would be funded by Sprint.

Trumpenomics?

That's when you make a deal to take credit for something that had nothing to do with you. Just like how he has nothing to do with building most Trump buildings and hotels, it's just a branding deal to take advantage of his celebrity. I wonder what goodies Trump offered these companies so they would let him take credit for their pre-existing plans?

Doesn't cost them anything, maybe get a consideration down the road.
