Trump accuses tiny Singapore of stealing U.S. jobs, immediately gets trolled
During his rally speech in Florida on Sunday, republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pointed at the usual job-thieving suspects that are stealing work from America -- China, India and Singapore.
Wait, tiny Singapore? Manufacturing hotbeds like China and India are typical targets for Trump's anti-offshore rhetoric, but it's not every day that Singapore's small and fairly expensive workforce gets pulled into the fray.
SEE ALSO:Trump held up a mask of his face at Florida rally and said it had nice hairIt seems U.S. firm Baxter Healthcare is to blame. Trump said the firm laid off 199 workers and moved those jobs to Singapore. "It's getting worse and worse and worse," he said.
To put that number into perspective, Baxter has some 61,500 employees across over 100 countries, according to its jobs website. That's kind of what happens when you're a huge, publicly listed multinational firm.
The island of Singapore is 0.004 times the size of Florida state. Here's a little visualisation to help illustrate that.

When a tiny nation literally a fraction the size of any US state can be threatening, you know you have problems. #areyoukiddingme #icanteven #insecuremuch?
