From a CNN article, dated this morning.

“I mean the truth of the matter is over the last eight years despite what we heard from President Obama on Friday, I mean this country was struggling … it was the weakest economy since the Great Depression,” Pence said.
[BSW: Shaking my head. Yes, the Great Recession started toward the end of President George W. Bush’s presidency in the summer/fall of 2008, and yes, it took ~three years to recover from it, but the economy was FULLY recovered more than a few yrs before your man was elected/inaugurated in late 2016/early 2017. OMG!]
In the CBS interview, the Vice President stopped short of disputing claims that the President has publicly mocked members of his Cabinet. According to Bob Woodward’s new book, “Fear,” Trump openly mocked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and told Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross he was “past his prime.”
“Well, I would tell you I know this President has great respect for the men and women who serve in this Cabinet,” Pence said when directly asked if he denounced the specific claims in Woodward’s book about insults against Cabinet members. “These accounts are very foreign to me. And I’m just not aware of instances where they’ve occurred and or where they would occur. But look, I want to stipulate that working in the White House is not for everybody.
“I mean this President is tough. He’s demanding. He wants things yesterday. [>>>>> BSW, shaking his head, while reading the next few sentences, with disbelief. >>>>>] And I think it’s one of the reasons why we’ve accomplished so much in such a short period of time,” Pence added. “I mean, the truth is I think President Donald Trump is the most accomplished President of my lifetime, and I think already one of the most successful presidents in American history.”
