President Trump is making much of supportive quotes from Mack McLarty, President Bill Clinton’s former White House chief of staff, who appeared on Fox News Saturday to discuss Trump’s talk of reopening the economy — even as the coronavirus death toll continues to grow.

“I think the president’s timing is about right,” McLarty said of the administration’s plan to launch an “opening our country” council to organize an economic restart.

“It is time to look forward to how we can get this economy reopened, because that’s about renewing and rebuilding lives as well,” McLarty added.

Trump seized on McLarty’s backing with a pair of optimistic tweets.

“Thank you Mack,” he posted. “We will be bigger, better and stronger than ever before!”
