President Trump said the military will soon see a “big spike” in recruitment numbers coming off of the steam from his “Salute to America” Fourth of July celebration Thursday.

“We had a phenomenal crowd last night, and it was a fantastic evening for our country,” Trump said while speaking to reporters on the South Lawn at the White House on Friday. “You’re going to have a lot of people being recruited, I think, based on that. We're going to have a lot of -- a lot of people joining our military. And we really needed that."


“Our job numbers are so good that the military has a hard time getting people,” Trump also said. “And I think, really, that you’re going to  see a big spike.  I've already heard it -- a lot of people calling in. No place like our military.  I think we showed that last night.”
