President Trump spoke from the White House briefing room this morning to tout a better-than-expected jobs report.

The appearance came a day after the US set a record number of new coronavirus cases in a single day, with more than 50,000 cases reported. It took a little more than two months for the US to record its first 50,000 coronavirus cases.

The President said June’s job numbers, with almost 5 million jobs added, shattered all expectations.

“This is the largest monthly job gain in the history of our country,” he said.

Remember: The numbers today won’t necessarily show any cracks in the recovery that may have emerged in recent days as the Covid-19 outlook deteriorates.

President Trump did not take questions after his comments.
