President Donald Trump did not have an answer when asked about how much further the economy will plunge during a Tuesday interview with ABC News anchor David Muir.
There are 30 million Americans who are unemployed, you dont need me to tell you that, Muir said.
Were expecting the new unemployment rate this week, there have been forecasts, 15, 16, 17%, he noted. One of your advisors projected an unemployment rate of 19% thats nearly one in five Americans without a job.
How bad is this going to get? Muir asked.
Well, that is what it is, Trump replied.
