President Trump on Friday celebrated new unemployment numbers — the lowest in the US since 1969 — and called the American economy since he took office “a miracle.”

“Just came out and they’re the best numbers we have had in over 50 years. The unemployment number is down to 3.5 percent. We haven’t had numbers like this in a long time [and] wages are up by almost 3 percent. That’s a fantastic increase for everybody out there working. We’re very happy about those numbers,” Trump said outside the White House.

“The stock market is substantially up as it was yesterday, and our country does well. Europe is not doing well. Asia is doing poorly, to put it mildly, and we continue to do very well. We’re the miracle,” he continued.

“When I was running, wages were nowhere. They were going down and people were having two and three jobs and making less money than they made 20 years before. Now wages are up. So we’re happy about that.”
