It’s Friday.
On Thursday we celebrated our Independence.
In 13 days, on July 17th, Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to testify before two House Committees regarding the Russian Election Interference Report.
On the evening after Mueller has testified, President Trump will hold a rally from North Carolina.
So far President Trump has tweeted 3 times, only to delete a tweet and re-issue that tweet.
JOBS, JOBS, JOBS! https://t.co/lWqvRNJDOW

Jobs Report.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor the economy added 224,000 non-farm payroll employment in June. The unemployment rate changed little at 3.7 percent.
Manufacturing employment edged up in June, “(+17,000), following 4 months of little change. So far this year, job growth in the industry has averaged 8,000 per month, compared with an average of 22,000 per month in 2018. In June, employment rose in computer and electronic products (+7,000) and in plastics and rubber products (+4,000).”

*End Flashback*
Authors note: I included the reports from 6 years of June’s, to give prospective on the words “record” and “historic.”
The deleted tweet.
I can only assume this tweet was deleted because the link to Breitbart did not work.
The President’s currently pinned tweet. (This tweet is no longer the President’s pinned tweet, but I’m going with it anyway).

The one minute and seven second clip features video footage from his “Salute to America” speech, plus a voice over of some text from that same speech.
Trump: Together we are part of one of the greatest stories ever told, the story of America. It is the epic tale of a great nation whose people have risked everything for what they know is right and what they know is true. On this day 243 years ago, our Founding Fathers, pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to declare Independence and to defend our God given rights. We will never forget that we are Americans and the future belongs to us. The sprite of American Independence will never fade, never fail, but will reign forever and ever and ever and ever. To every citizen throughout our land have a glorious Independence Day, have a great Fourth of July.
Trump mistakenly claims Revolutionary War soldiers 'took over airports' in 'Salute to America' speech https://t.co/Aj00KpdfAI pic.twitter.com/aZOkf9bkDY

The President told reporters on Friday morning that the teleprompter went out when he said “took over airports,” during his speech on Thursday.
Trump said his Teleprompter went out "right in the middle of that sentence" when he said that the Continental Army took over nonexistent airports. He added, "I guess the rain knocked out the Teleprompter…it was actually hard to look at anyway, 'cause it was rain all over."

My favorite #RevolutionaryWarAirportStories is the one about the scrappy crew who just wanted to carry on but had to gate check because their carry on could not be carried on! https://t.co/PrWkC3nO9F

My flight has been delayed. I swear when we take this country I will change it from British Airlines to American Airlines.
I’m waiting at the Cinnabon now.

For What it is Worth.
As the News Blender reported on Tuesday Vice President Pence was recalled to the White House and a planned event he was scheduled to attended in New Hampshire was cancelled.
On Friday morning while speaking with reporters, the President was asked why and according to pool reporter Mark Knoller he said, “you’ll know in about two weeks,” adding there was “a problem up there,” but offered no further details.
Asked about the sudden cancellation of @VP's New Hampshire trip on Tuesday. "You'll know in about two weeks," @POTUS told reporters. Says there was "a problem up there," but stopped short of saying what it was, other than it had nothing to do with the WH. pic.twitter.com/KaSlbcKt1d
