With the election fast-approaching, President Donald Trump asks Black voters to support a second term based on results. In less than four years, the Trump Administration’s America First policies have delivered color-blind benefits to all citizens. African-Americans have benefited in ways Democrat policies failed.
“For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken Black voters for granted. They made you big promises before every election — and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,” Trump said. “The Democrats will always take Black voters for granted until large numbers of Black Americans vote Republican. I did more for the Black community in 47 months than Joe Biden did in 47 years.”
The president did not necessarily set a high bar with those remarks. Biden’s racist legislative record in the U.S. Senate included voting in favor of segregation and crafting criminal sentencing laws that handed Black Americans unfairly extended, and sometimes life sentences. President Trump’s signing of the First Step Act erased Biden’s racist laws. The president went one step further by pardoning and commuting sentences that abandoned Black Americans to the prison system. But it’s the mounting data that has Democrats afraid of voters they took for granted supporting President Trump.
For example, African-American unemployment reached an all-time low before the pandemic disrupted the economy. The national average hovered at more than a 50-year low of 3.5 percent. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, Black unemployment reached its lowest recorded number of 5.4 percent in August 2019 and did not rise above 6 percent until the pandemic.
The president accomplished this historic success by not handing out free money and government-funded jobs that later disappear. He did it by ramping up the economy and preventing illegal immigrants from stealing American jobs. Before the pandemic, employers competed to fill jobs because there were more vacant positions than Americans out of work.
A second prong of the Trump Administration’s improved employment opportunities involves “Opportunity Zones.” This America First policy created incentives for people to open businesses and employ locals in underserved and low-income communities. The impact of Opportunity Zones lifted millions of working families out of poverty. According to the U.S. Census, the country posted the lowest poverty rate in recorded history in 2019.
“Blacks and Hispanics reached historic lows in their poverty rates in 2019. The poverty rate for Blacks was 18.8 percent; for Hispanics, it was 15.7 percent,” according to the Census.
What makes this particularly compelling is the fact that African-American poverty rates improved twice as quickly as other groups. If social justice warriors genuinely want to bring about equal opportunity, there is no denying the hard data. President Trump’s policies have brought an unprecedented positive change.
It’s no secret that the fake news and establishment media sidestep reporting on African-American prosperity driven by the America First agenda. Instead of reporting on positives, the focus remains almost exclusively on data that shows an existing disparity. The Trump Administration is closing the economic gap, and the president is rolling out an aggressive second-term agenda focused on equal opportunity for African-Americans.
The White House plans to increase $500 billion in capital to help create 500,000 new Black-owned businesses and an additional 3 million jobs. President Trump kept every campaign promise made before the 2016 election. That cannot be said of Democrats such as Joe Biden.
To Every trump Supporter. VOTE IN PERSON!!!! That way your vote cannot end up in a ditch,trash can,car trunk or dump.
Wish Trump would have brought all of that out in the debate last night, instead of yelling at Joe. He had the opportunity to say all of that. He needs an ad that has blacks, Hispanics that benefited from these programs to tell their story. And then tell us he will expand these programs in the next four years.
Last nights debate was a disgrace
I watch the debate. My view was two aganist one! We all know that Wallace would try to cut Trump OFF from time to time. BUT. Didn’t try to get shutdown Biden or get him to answer the question! Yes it was a poor debated. But CHRIS WALLACE DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE A MODERATE!
The debate could have been better. I think Biden being evasive about some questions may have gotten the best of Trump but there is another 2 debates. Hope he sees we support him and just stands firm, strong and controlled and remembers he has accomplished much in less than 4 years than other administrations put together for years. Covid 19 pandemic was handled well, implemented immediate action barring Chinese coming in from china, funding for PPE, research, production, ventilators etc. He’s got a win.
Democrat party is too self absorbed, not focused or concerned with what US citizens need or want or our country’s national security. They’re too busy trying to hide all the criminal activity of the Obama administration due to Trump derangement syndrome. We need to go back to work.
The way the Democrat party supports China makes me wonder if they knew about the virus but didn’t realize the severity of damage that could occur or else cause they have to keep up the pretenses cause it might be pay up for favors time. My opinion.
I agree wholeheartedly with the 2nd reply. Trump lost an opportunity to directly address all the good things his administration has done for the black and other minority communities.
He also failed to talk about his efforts on trade deals and dealing with China to bring more jobs back to America. I thought Chris Wallace purposely introduced questions that took Trump into the weeds of division and rhetoric that took away from the audience’s ability to learn what continuation of his programs would do to help inner cities as Nd rebuild our industrial base which provides good jobs.
As Nd should be and. I could not find a way to edit the post.
