Snip

On Friday, President Donald Trump tweeted an address to the nation, in which he said COVID-19 deaths in America won’t be for nothing.

“As many of you know, our country is coming back very, very strong economically,” said Trump. “The jobs numbers from two weeks ago were record-setting, record-setting increase. We’ve never had anything like it. Record from day one, nobody’s ever beaten it. And now, retail sales numbers are incredible. We created a tremendous base, so that when we had to close it up and save millions of lives, we were able to open it and now we’re doing well.”
