“Liberals are tripping over themselves to explain why the economy has performed so much better under Donald Trump than it did under Barack Obama,” Stephen Moore writes in The Wall Street Journal. “The economy has grown by nearly 4% over the past six months, and the final number for 2018 is expected to come in at between 3% and 3.5%.

“President Trump attended the annual Army-Navy football game Saturday and officiated the pre-match coin toss on the field flanked by top military officials,” John Bowden writes in The Hill. The President was joined on-field "by top members of the military including Defense Secretary James Mattis, who watched as a smiling Trump tossed the coin following a moment of silence for former President George H.W. Bush. The annual football game between the Naval Academy in Annapolis and the Military Academy at West Point is a major tradition dating back to 1890 that has been attended by multiple former presidents.”
