(AP) — After weeks of giving only brief comments to the media, Donald Trump made a series of public statements Wednesday, applaud- ing the return of 8,000 jobs to the U.S. and hailing his discus- sions with President Barack Obama. In one of his cameos on the front steps of his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump touted plans by a Japanese mogul to bring those jobs to the United States.
