While the left feuded, President Trump helped 12 million workers change their lives


While Congressional Democrats spent the past year determined to undo the 2016 election—topped off by yesterday’s “spectacle” with Special Counsel Robert Mueller—President Donald J. Trump has kept one of his most important promises to voters.

Alongside other crucial actions such as signing historic criminal justice reform and dealing a major blow to America’s opioid crisis, President Trump joined with leaders across the private and nonprofit sectors to accomplish something extraordinary. With Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump leading the charge, the Pledge to America’s Workers secured more than 12.7 million opportunities for our workforce in just one year.

The Pledge is President Trump’s commitment to making sure the booming Trump Economy benefits every American worker. As the number of job openings soars and the unemployment rate plummets to a near-50-year low, American wages are starting to rise. But that great news comes with a distinct challenge, as U.S. companies struggle to find enough workers with the right skill sets to fill all these open jobs.  

That’s where the Pledge to America’s Workers comes in.

Last summer, President Trump introduced a new approach to bring more Americans off the sidelines and back into the labor force. He issued a challenge for businesses to create more career training opportunities for students and workers of all ages. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of that effort, the President invited the leaders of some of those companies—and the workers who have seen their lives change—to the White House today.

“Over the last year, more than 300 businesses and organizations, large and small, have signed our Pledge to America’s Workers, and today we celebrate reaching over 12 million pledges,” Ivanka Trump said.

Gathered in the State Dining Room of the White House earlier, the National Association of Manufacturers announced they will become the latest organization to meet the President’s challenge. With members that include American manufacturing giants such as Caterpillar and Boeing, more than 1.1 million blue-collar workers will have a chance to enhance their skills under NAM’s new pledge.

“Every single pledge is a commitment to the promise of an individual and his or her potential. We are changing the conversation on workforce development, so we can prepare for the jobs of today and tomorrow,” Ms. Trump said.

Thanks to President Trump, 12+ million commitments and counting!

Video of the day: REAL results for the American people

House Democrats squandered more time that could have been spent helping the American people yesterday on what seems to be their only agenda item: never-ending obstruction and investigation. But like Charlie Brown missing the football, Democrat leaders keep doing the same thing over and over—with the same failed results.

But President Trump remains hard at work, delivering on the issues Americans actually care about: jobs, higher wages, border security, lower drug prices, a stronger military, and more. It’s been two and a half years of real results, and there’s much more to come.

  By the numbers: Zero collusion. Zero obstruction. $35 million taxpayer dollars.
