Trump Says 20 Million Jobs Lost to COVID-19 'Will Be Back Very Soon

Donald Trump, during a call-in to Dumb Fux & Friends, said that despite unemployment figures showing more than 20 million American lost their jobs in April, Trump says that the economy will recover quickly.

"Next year, we're going to have one of the best years we've ever had," he told Fox. "We created the best economy in the history of the world. We were blowing away China, we were blowing away everyone. Those jobs will all be back and be back very soon. People are ready to go."

Nationwide the unemployment rate is 14.7 percent, compared with 3.6 percent in the same month last year.

"Even the Democrats aren't blaming me for that," Trump said, saying that there was no other option.

And accept that I won't find work until he is out of office and we have a less corrupt administration in charge?
