I mean, excuse me, the December report is updated.

Add that all up, it means we’ve created 12 million, 12 million jobs since I took office. That means we have created more jobs in two years than any presidential term at any time in two years. That’s the strongest two years of jobs growth in history by a long shot.

America’s future is once again bright.
