Trump calls today's jobs news— Eli Stokols (@EliStokols) June 5, 2020
"a tremendous tribute to equality."
Except black unemployment did not decline. It ticked up from 16.7% to 16.8%
And in answer to this question:Hyping a 13.3 percent unemployment rate as a major accomplishment when you inherited a 4.7 percent rate explains how Trump bankrupted casinos https://t.co/g9yJ99DrSJ— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 5, 2020
Will the president just issue a statement on the jobs report, one of five before the election, at his press event at 10 a.m.? Or will he take questions and risk what happened with the coronavirus briefings, when he started yelling at reporters?— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2020
He knows the Governors control the National Guard in their states, right? And that Kent State was 50 years ago. We due for a do-over, or something?Trump to governors of states where protests are still happening: "I hope that you also use our National Guard. Call me, we will be ready with them so fast their heads will spin." pic.twitter.com/J5JUw7enJl— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 5, 2020
Is anyone really surprised?"We went into a ventilator period the likes of which nobody has seen since the second World War" -- Trump is out here just incoherently rambling on about any and all topics pic.twitter.com/1geZeTmgQ3— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 5, 2020
At this point, it doesn’t look like @POTUS came to the Rose Garden with prepared remarks. Or if he did, he’s scrapped them entirely. https://t.co/YZXyfBL6nz— Gabby Orr (@GabbyOrr_) June 5, 2020
Oh, it's that bad! And he's speaking from inside this:

On a day when the Mayor of D.C. asked for all federal troops to be removed from her city, and after a third night of protests in the city with no violence. So what's he afraid of? Or is he just getting more Nixonian by the day?

He has a secret plan to save the economy! And it involves Tweets and the National Guard!
"Well, you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore!" At the time, Nixon sounded nuts. Now Trump....?Most presidents would come out and say these numbers are a really positive development after a terrible spring, but that more work needs to be done. Trump is referring to himself in the third person and saying no one has done for the black community what he has.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2020
And back to the question of security:
After a stream of consciousness riff, the president is back on remarks briefly before coming off them to praise the Secret Service. "There was never any form of like oh gee this sounds dangerous," the president says of the protests. The White House has been fortified since then.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2020
As the nation has figured out, "equal justice under the law" means pretty much what Trump thinks it means; and they're not gonna take that anymore."It's called dominate the streets. You can't let that happen in New York," Trump says. Immediately after, "Equal justice under the law."— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2020
