Six months after Donald Trump last held a formal press conference, during which he called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton, the president-elect finally spoke with reporters Wednesday during two impromptu, largely fact-free press conferences outside his gilded Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. In his signature stream-of-consciousness style, the president-elect—at one point flanked by boxing promoter Don King—offered up a series of misleading, disjointed responses, during which he falsely claimed to have created thousands of new jobs, dismissed alleged Russian interference in the presidential election, whitewashed his sprawling financial conflicts of interest, and offered up word salad in a rambling defense of Israel.

Trump claims to have saved another 8,000 jobs

Trump emerged from his Florida resort—which has been nicknamed the “Winter White House”—on Wednesday to take credit for the creation of 8,000 private-sector jobs in the United States. The billionaire New Yorker attributed the new jobs—which include 5,000 at telecommunications giant Sprint and 3,000 at satellite manufacturer OneWeb—to the “spirit and hope” engendered by his election. “So we have a combination of Sprint with 5,000 jobs, and that’s coming from all over the world, they are coming back from the United States, which is a nice change, and also OneWeb,” he told reporters.

What Trump failed to mention during his brief appearance was that the Sprint and OneWeb jobs are included in the tens of thousands of jobs already expected to return to the U.S. as part of a previously announced investment. In October, prior to Trump’s unexpected victory over Clinton, SoftBank—the parent company of Sprint and a major investor in OneWeb—revealed its plans to increase its investment in the U.S. through a major new investment fund. During a meeting earlier this month with the president-elect at Trump Tower, SoftBank C.E.O. Masayoshi Son detailed his plan, pledging to create 50,000 American jobs and invest $50 billion in the American economy. In a statement to Politico, a spokesperson for Sprint confirmed that the 5,000 positions at the company “are part of the 50,000 jobs that [SoftBank C.E.O. Masayoshi Son] previously announced,” and that “It will be a combination of newly created jobs and bringing back some existing jobs back to the U.S.” Similarly, the 3,000 OneWeb jobs were revealed earlier this month in a press release, announced in conjunction with SoftBank’s $1.2 billion investment in the satellite start-up.

Trump urges Americans to blame “computers,” not Russia, for hacking

In the six weeks since his victory, Trump has dismissed reports that the Russian government interfered in the presidential election to tip the scales in his favor, deriding the conclusions of multiple U.S. intelligence agencies as “ridiculous” and “just another excuse” for Clinton. When the topic was broached again during his second appearance with reporters on Wednesday, the president-elect stressed, “I think we ought to get on with our lives.” When asked to on comment Senator Lindsey Graham’s assertion that he will support sanctions against Russia in response to its alleged meddling in the election, Trump said that he had not yet spoken with his former rival or other senators but “certainly will be over a period time.” He also appeared to blame technology, rather than the Kremlin, for sowing disinformation. “I think that computers have complicated lives very greatly. The whole age of the computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what’s going on,” argued Trump, who reportedly has little experience with computers. “We have speed, we have a lot of other things, but I'm not sure we have the kind of security we need.”
