"Our economy is roaring back," Trump declared Thursday, saying the response to the coronavirus pandemic, coordinated with governors, is "working out very well.""The United States economy added almost 5 million jobs in the month of June, shattering all expectations," Trump said. "The stock market is doing extremely well ... this is the largest monthly jobs gain in the history of our country.
The president announced the event while hailing Thursday's jobs numbers, which showed the economy added 4.8 million jobs in June, reducing the unemployment rate to 11.1 percent. Economists expected the rate would be 12.3 percent with an increase of just 3 million jobs. Trump added that the increases in cases -- "hotspots" -- in some cities, would be "temporary." Trump claimed that without the measures taken by governors and his administration, "millions" of lives would have been lost to the virus.
The unemployment rate, which is still astronomically high at 11.1 percent, is significantly lower than what some economists were predicting it could be just months ago -- some projections said it could approach 20 percent due to persistent state shutdowns.

MAGA 2020!!! That's what the people vote for. Strong economy, jobs, and a great stock market.
Joe Biden and the socialist Democrats THINK they won the election already. Joe Biden will not hold rallies, so he won't stumble and bumble his words. Joe Biden knows he CAN'T draw as many voters to his rallies as President Trump. Back to the basement for Joe.
You know the Democrats hate good news for the country!
