In the clip, shared by the White House to Twitter on Saturday morning, Trump stood on the South Lawn and honored the “special day.” He then expressed his belief that the country is “really making a comeback.”

The president also touted the rising employment rate and stock market. America has been “hit with this plague from China” and we’re close to “fighting our way out of it,” he said, adding that we’re “on our way to a tremendous victory.”

Trump concluded that the victory is “going to happen big. Our country will be better than ever before.”

Clinton released a statement to Twitter an hour before the White House, where she called the current state of America “dark times.”

“It’s important to remember that America can be what we make of it,” Clinton said. “We have more power than we can imagine when we wield it together. Let’s keep raising our voices, marching, and registering to vote.”

“We’ll celebrate all we accomplished next Independence Day,” she added.

Clinton’s messages come one day after she criticized Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak. Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” Podcast, Clinton indicated her belief that she would have done “a better job” handling the pandemic crisis if she had won the presidential election in 2016.

“We wouldn’t have been able to stop the pandemic at our borders the way that Trump claimed in the beginning, but we sure could have done a better job saving lives, modeling better, more responsible behavior,” she said. “I don’t think we necessarily should have had as deep an economic assault on livelihoods and jobs as we have. So I know I would have done a better job.”

During the same interview, Clinton indicated her belief that Trump would have tried to “lock her up” if she had legitimately broken any laws.

“Look, if I had ever done anything wrong, he would have gone after me,” she said. “You know, I’ve never done anything wrong. I’m, you know, as some people like to say, the most investigated, exonerated person in recent history.”

Newsweek reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
