Trump: ‘Today We Stand on the Verge of a New Economic Miracle’
EXCERPT:
TRUMP: "Today we stand on the verge of a new economic miracle. Our economy has already surged to 3 percent growth, far ahead of schedule by the way, far, far ahead, in each of the last two quarters. And if we didn’t have the hurricanes, we could have hit 4 last quarter. 4! A number that was unthinkable two years ago when I started the campaign and even my first month in office. That was an unthinkable number. And I’ll tell you what, it’s going to go higher than that. We’ve created 2.2 million jobs since the election. Unemployment is at a 17-year low. The unemployment rate in the manufacturing business is the lowest in recorded history. Consumer confidence is a 17-point high. Pensions and retirement accounts are soaring as the stock market hits 85 new record highs since the election. How are we doing? Are we doing okay? Not bad, right?”
