ADVISERS: Sir, after that tweet to the Merck guy, you HAVE to say something more about Charlottesville.
TRUMP: No. I don't wanna.
ADVISERS: You're getting slammed left and right! The criticism is getting louder! This isn't going away!
TRUMP: Fine! But first I'm gonna talk about how great a f*cking job I'm doing with the economy.
ADVISERS: NO!
TRUMP:
YES!
I’m in Washington today to meet with my economic team about trade policy and major tax cuts and reform. We are renegotiating trade deals and making them good for the American worker. And it’s about time. Our economy is now strong. The stock market continues to hit record highs, unemployment is at a 16-year-low and businesses are more optimistic than ever before. Companies are moving back to the United States and bringing many thousands of jobs with them. We have already created over 1 million jobs since I took office.
