"The 5,000 jobs in Sprint’s plans are part of Son’s overall 50,000-job commitment, though they’ll be funded by Sprint and not SoftBank, the U.S. carrier said."

make sure you check the "fine print". There's always something dirty hidden inside. Just like when he said he was going to invest millions in rebuilding our infrastructure. That sounds GREAT until you find out that he's going to get the $$ from the big Cos. that donate all that $$ to either the Con or the Pub Party. When they have all that $$ invested, they can make roads toll roads for their own profit, or maybe buy thousands of federal land to mine or drill oil on. His deals are NEVER what they seem to be!

He'd take credit for creating the planet if the Bible didn't exist.
