President Trump on Wednesday said "nobody is going to come close" to defeating him in the 2020 presidential election after criticizing The New York Times for publishing a deeply critical op-ed written by an anonymous author who the Times said was a senior official in his administration.
"We’ve done more than anybody ever thought possible in, it’s not even two years," Trump said while addressing reporters at the White House during an event at which he spoke to sheriffs from across the country.
"We’re doing a great job," Trump also said. "The poll numbers are through the roof.â€
Trump spent several several minutes Wednesday listing his administration's accomplishments. He pointed to economic growth, the creation of manufacturing jobs and the unemployment rate, saying the "unemployment picture in the country is the best its been in 49 years."
“Then you go into all the benefits we got from the tax cuts,†he added, prompting an applause from the sheriffs.
