Democrat Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign posted a tweet Tuesday evening meant to attack GOP presidential rival Donald Trump but which actually praises Trump as a job creating businessman with international experience.
The Briefing @TheBriefing2016, which describes itself as, “Setting the facts straight. A @HillaryClinton campaign account”, posted at 8:12 p.m. EDT a statement that read, “Hillary visited 112 countries as secretary of state. Trump had products made in at least 10 as a businessman.”
Below the statement is a graphic with tabs that state “Made in Mexico”, “Made in China”, etc. Overlaid is a bold-lettered statement that reads:
“DONALD TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO CREATE MANUFACTURING JOBS”

Copy of Clinton campaign graphic praising Trump as job creator.
The pro-Trump message is so strong that one wants to double check the source and it is indeed the Hillary Clinton campaign that is saying in bold letters: DONALD TRUMP KNOWS HOW TO CREATE MANUFACTURING JOBS.
At the same time, the campaign is implying Hillary Clinton is a well-traveled government official while telling voters Donald Trump is a job creating businessman with international experience.
