President Trump told reporters that he’s looking forward to a “fantastic evening” tonight ahead of a speech at Mount Rushmore.

“We’re going to Mount Rushmore,” he told reporters on a tarmac before boarding a flight to the South Dakota landmark.

“Mount Rushmore is in great shape and it’s going to be in great shape for centuries to come.”

Despite the ongoing march of the coronavirus and continued domestic unrest, Trump said he was encouraged by signs of economic life.

“The economy’s doing very well. Our jobs number was the biggest number in history, in the history of our country, bigger even than last month by almost double,” he said.

“So a lot of good things are happening, a lot of very powerful things are happening, and our country’s doing very well.”

Trump’s appearance will feature fireworks and a military plane flyover.
