Trump's great American comeback is underway

Quote:The incredible July jobs report makes one thing abundantly clear — the great American comeback is well underway.
President Trump is renewing, rebuilding, and restoring the economy, which added 1.8 million jobs in July. That represents the third-largest one-month jobs gain in U.S. history, behind only this past June and May.
This brings the total number of jobs added in the last three months to an extraordinary 9.3 million. Expert economists and partisan critics continue to bet against Trump, and they have been proven wrong every time.
The key word here is action — Trump took targeted actions to help our country recover when the worst pandemic in more than 100 years hit our shores from China. The president’s bold leadership, combined with the public's unbreakable resolve, led us to this critical turning point.
From day one, Trump took a data-based approach to protect public health and safety while laying the groundwork for economic growth.
Thanks to the Trump administration, our country has made incredible progress with therapeutics and early detection, saving thousands of lives.
As of today, the United States has conducted more than 66 million coronavirus tests. Our country is now averaging more than 800,000 tests per day and nearly 5 million per week. Trump was absolutely correct when he said that more coronavirus testing leads to more cases — it’s common sense that the liberal media and Joe Biden fail to comprehend. This level of testing capability is enabling our country to manage detected cases and reopen our economy safely at the same time.
The Trump administration announced it secured a half-million doses of remdesivir, a game-changing drug that can reduce the time a patient spends in the hospital by up to a third, to be allocated to hospitals and states that need it. “President Trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure Americans have access to the first authorized therapeutic for COVID-19,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said. “To the extent possible, we want to ensure that any American patient who needs remdesivir can get it.”
And on the economic front, the Small Business Administration has approved Paycheck Protection Program loans to more than 5 million businesses worth more than a half-trillion dollars. In total, the Paycheck Protection Program is protecting more than 51 million jobs during the coronavirus pandemic. Trump championing the Paycheck Protection Program ensured workers could retain their jobs, receive their paychecks, and help our economy reopen more smoothly.
The blockbuster July jobs report is direct evidence of our progress.
While Trump was busy taking those bold actions, Biden was consumed with lobbing partisan hand grenades from his basement safe space. Sadly, Biden has made it clear that he’s rooting against the great American comeback.
Back in May, top Democrats admitted they were fearful of predictions of a historic economic recovery. Good news for the nation is bad for Biden. When asked by CNBC whether he agrees with experts predicting an explosive economic recovery, Biden laughed and said, “No, I don’t.”
It’s no surprise that Biden is panicking about the recent amazing economic news. He has already failed at overseeing an economic recovery once before. Remember: Biden and Barack Obama presided over the slowest economic recovery since the Great Depression for eight years in the White House. To put that into perspective, in the last three months alone, the economy has added back 42% of the jobs lost due to the coronavirus outbreak. During the anemic Biden-led economic recovery, it took two years to gain back the same percentage of lost jobs.
Couple Biden's failed record with his newly proposed $4 trillion dollar tax hikes, which will raise taxes on 82% of taxpayers, and the choice for voters is clear: Trump is the only one who can fire up the economy again.
