JOBS/OIL: “Before the invisible enemy struck our shores, we created 800,000 new energy jobs — a third of them in Texas. That was just the new jobs; add on to that millions of other jobs. After the China virus struck, we implemented historic economic relief. When oil crashed, I got Saudi Arabia, Russia, and others to cut nearly 10 million barrels a day, and got OPEC Plus and Mexico to agree to the deal. And hence, we’re okay now. We’re back. We’re back.”
