“Look, the economy is incredibly strong right now. The president’s focus right now continues to be on the long term economic fundamentals which, like I just said, are very strong in this country. We’re infinitely better off today than we were before the president took office, particularly on the economy. We have historically low unemployment and we actually have increasing wages for American workers.

There’s nothing that’s taken place over the last couple of days in our economy that’s fundamentally different than it was two weeks ago and we’re very comfortable with where we are right now.”
