Trump Repairing Obama's Economic Damage for Blacks and Hispanics
By Clarence McKee
BLACK REPUBLICAN BLOG: Trump Repairing Obama's Economic Damage for Blacks and Hispanics

I am getting pretty fed up with the constant “fake news” barrage from Democrat presidential candidates and their fellow party and media sycophants arguing that Obama is responsible for the Trump booming economy.
What a lie.

BET founder and billionaire Robert Johnson said it well — President Trump deserves credit for a “great” economy and low black unemployment:

“I think the economy is doing absolutely great, and it’s particularly reaching into populations that heretofore had very bad problems in terms of jobs, unemployment and the opportunities that come with full employment, so African-American unemployment is at its lowest level.”

He went on to say that he gives "the president a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that’s benefiting a large amount of Americans" and "the tax cuts clearly helped."

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board went even further in its July 4 editorial, “A Tale of Two Economies.”

Among its excellent points:

• The jobless rate for blacks is 6.2%, which is only 2.9 percentage-points higher than for whites versus a 4.6 percentage-point difference before the start of the 2008 recession.
• Unemployment has fallen twice as much among blacks as whites since December 2016.
• Nearly one million more blacks and two million more Hispanics are employed than when Barack Obama left office.
• Minorities account for more than half of all new jobs created during the Trump Presidency.
• Unemployment among black women has hovered near 5% for the last six months, the lowest since 1972.
• A mere 3.5% of high school graduates are unemployed.

The editorial also disputes the allegation of presidential wannabee Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Ca, that people are “stringing jobs together to make ends meet.” It points out that there are now “1.3 million fewer Americans working part time” for economic reasons than at the end of the Obama presidency.

Even more evidence of how the Trump economy has benefitted black and Hispanic Americans was pointed out in a July 8 Communications/Research Memo by Steve Guest, Rapid Response Director for the Republican Nation Committee, outlining how the Trump economy and polices “are helping workers more than Obama’s did.”

Among the significant points:

• “Wages are rising at the fastest rate in a decade for lower-skilled workers.”
• “Unemployment among less-educated Americans and minorities is near a record low.”

• “Nearly one million more blacks and two million more Hispanics are employed than when Obama left office.”
• “Minorities account for more than half of all new jobs created during the Trump Presidency.”

Guest rightly states in his “Bottom Line” that, “It is clear that the Democrat talking points on the economy are as phony as a $3 bill. President Trump’s America First policies are delivering higher wages and lower unemployment for more Americans.”

Trump’s positive impact on the black economy is not the only issue on which Democrats are deceiving America. The citizenship question issue on the 2020 census is another.........(SNIP)

Let's see, when did the trend start for African-American unemployment since gwb.

So, no change from the thread that President Barack Hussein Obama created.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Its amazing that Trump has repaired in two years what took Obama 8 years to destroy

Are you fucking retarded?

Obama inherited a 10% unemployment rate from Bush, a Dow in the tank, a ruined banking system and an auto industry on the verge of collapse.

When he left office, unemployment was down to 4.8%, the Dow was at 20K, the banks were healthy and the Auto industry sprung back.

Trump inherited a good economy like he inherited his wealth.

It was 4.5 percent under Bush. So should Obama get a medal for taking 8 years to get unemployment down to more than what his predecessor had it down to?

And Obama didn't have a dot-com bubble and the worst terrorist attack on US soil in history happen while he was in office. Trump didn't have the gift of almost zero interest rates. But Obama did. Trump didn't have the entire MSM in his back pocket reporting on him like he was the messiah. Trump is lucky if FNC gives him a fair shake, nobody else will.

Why does your chart stop in 2017? We're 2/3 through 2019.

Oh that's right because it would show Trump is doing far better than your "fact check" chart shows.

Bush's rate was 8% and losing 800,000 jobs a month when he left duh. Are you another dupe who never heard of the GOP meltdown corrupt piece of s***? You are just unbelievably duped.

Trump has done nothing but cut taxes on himself and giant corporations like he owns. A huge failure as a businessman and president so far. Except on the GOP dupe propaganda machine.
He got a tiny bump out of a 2 trillion dollar sugar... The GOP has been a disaster for the country for 35 years. Snap out of it.

Yes W got stuck with inheriting a minor recession, And we did have 9/11
You seem to ignore the fact that Obama inherited the largest financial downturn since the Great Depression. Yes, the interest rates were almost zero, but again you conveniently forget the magnitude of the Great Recession.
Also, look at historical interest rates and Trump is crying like a little baby. The current rate is way below any rate during a long-term growing economy and the historical rate average. You're falling for his whining about the interest rates.
Try living in reality, instead of Trump's proven and documented pathological lies..

Trump inherited a economy that had been growing for eight straight years. Find me an economist that won't deny that Trump inherited an economy that was already winning. Trump didn't fix a damn thing, All the bullshit he peddled with deregulation didn't cause a sudden even minor detectable upward swing in the trajectory of the economy. The only thing Trump has done so far, is not fucking up the eight year growth trajectory. But he is threatening the growing economy with his trade war.

Really? 8 straight years? 43 MILLION people on food stamps is not a strong economy. Flat wage growth is not a strong economy. 10% unemployment down to 7% for most of his 8 years is not a strong economy. People giving up looking for work in alarming numbers is not a strong economy. His unemployment went down because people gave up. Under Trump there are more jobs than people to fill them. Did that happen under 8 years of Obozo? Hell fucking no. Obozo's unemployment numbers went down because year after year more and more people gave up looking for work and got on food stamps. Oh yes, the food stamp president. That's a strong fucking economy, huh?

You dumbfucks post unemployment numbers under Obama forgetting that they can go down when people give up looking for work. Doesn't happen under Trump. More jobs than people to fill them.

That's not the sign of a growing economy, that's the sign of a dying one. One of the many reasons Obama was sent packing and told to get on the train with Hillary. NOBODY wants to go back to Obozos economy.

So go back to school, study Econ 101 and come back to the adult discussion when you feel you're ready. Because right now you clearly aren't.

 

[kiwiman127]

I would bet that most educated people would be aware of the current expansion, which is the longest running expansion (economic growth).
This is really hard to accept that you were ignorant of the fact.

This is now the longest US economic expansion in history
Sorry, Trump didn't fix anything and he did not start this record long economic growth.
Have you ever thought to fact check Trump, instead of sucking down his habitual bullshit?

The unemployment was at a 50 year low when the article was written, and it is at a 50 year low now, you half-witted imbecile.

You seem to ignore the fact that Obama inherited the largest financial downturn since the Great Depression

First of all, the downturn under Jimmy Carter in the late 70's was way worse, so spare us the political slogans.

Second, the downturn under Bush was the Democrats fault, Obama made it worse, and the turnaround began with the election of the GOP Congress which put the brakes on Obama's extremism. And even then, Obama's stupidity kept the rebound from happening. Jobs created under Obama were part time crap jobs, worthless. TRUMP brought back real jobs and the booming economy.

The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. He did not.

Before the Democrats took Congress in 2007 unemployment was 4.1%, gas was $1.70 a gallon, and the economy was expanding.

Then the Democrats took Congress in 2007 and promptly destroyed the economy. When Obama became president in 2009 he made it twice as bad.

Let’s do a little math here:

Bush was president for 8 years, from 2001 to 2009.

As I said, in 2007 unemployment was 4.1% and the economy was expanding. That is SIX years into the Bush presidency mind you - SIX OUT OF EIGHT. (And BTW: 4.1% is almost perfect since there is no such thing as a 0% rate.)

Now, can anyone explain to me why the first six years of the eight-year Bush presidency was just fine, and then magically, when the Democrats took over Congress, the economy tanked? Simple: The Democrats took power. When they took power they pushed their social engineering policy of trying to let minorities who wants to own a house own a house whether they could afford it or not. All the bad loans the banks made, they were browbeat into that by the Left. And THAT was the first domino in line to fall.

As I said: The biggest propaganda lie ever concocted and foisted upon the American people is the lie that Bush caused our economic crisis. In fact, Democrats did, with policies that can find their genesis in the Clinton years

ME: African Americans understand that Trump has done more for African Americans than the Kenyan Socialist did. Trump will win in 2020.

Trump Repairing Obama's Economic Damage for Blacks and Hispanics
By Clarence McKee
BLACK REPUBLICAN BLOG: Trump Repairing Obama's Economic Damage for Blacks and Hispanics

I am getting pretty fed up with the constant “fake news” barrage from Democrat presidential candidates and their fellow party and media sycophants arguing that Obama is responsible for the Trump booming economy.
What a lie.

BET founder and billionaire Robert Johnson said it well — President Trump deserves credit for a “great” economy and low black unemployment:

“I think the economy is doing absolutely great, and it’s particularly reaching into populations that heretofore had very bad problems in terms of jobs, unemployment and the opportunities that come with full employment, so African-American unemployment is at its lowest level.”

He went on to say that he gives "the president a lot of credit for moving the economy in a positive direction that’s benefiting a large amount of Americans" and "the tax cuts clearly helped."

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board went even further in its July 4 editorial, “A Tale of Two Economies.”

Among its excellent points:

• The jobless rate for blacks is 6.2%, which is only 2.9 percentage-points higher than for whites versus a 4.6 percentage-point difference before the start of the 2008 recession.
• Unemployment has fallen twice as much among blacks as whites since December 2016.
• Nearly one million more blacks and two million more Hispanics are employed than when Barack Obama left office.
• Minorities account for more than half of all new jobs created during the Trump Presidency.
• Unemployment among black women has hovered near 5% for the last six months, the lowest since 1972.
• A mere 3.5% of high school graduates are unemployed.

The editorial also disputes the allegation of presidential wannabee Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Ca, that people are “stringing jobs together to make ends meet.” It points out that there are now “1.3 million fewer Americans working part time” for economic reasons than at the end of the Obama presidency.

Even more evidence of how the Trump economy has benefitted black and Hispanic Americans was pointed out in a July 8 Communications/Research Memo by Steve Guest, Rapid Response Director for the Republican Nation Committee, outlining how the Trump economy and polices “are helping workers more than Obama’s did.”

Among the significant points:

• “Wages are rising at the fastest rate in a decade for lower-skilled workers.”
• “Unemployment among less-educated Americans and minorities is near a record low.”

• “Nearly one million more blacks and two million more Hispanics are employed than when Obama left office.”
• “Minorities account for more than half of all new jobs created during the Trump Presidency.”

Guest rightly states in his “Bottom Line” that, “It is clear that the Democrat talking points on the economy are as phony as a $3 bill. President Trump’s America First policies are delivering higher wages and lower unemployment for more Americans.”

Trump’s positive impact on the black economy is not the only issue on which Democrats are deceiving America. The citizenship question issue on the 2020 census is another.........(SNIP)

Look at the economy the Republicans handed Obama.

Then,

look at the economy Obama handed Trump.

But don’t worry, Republicans are trying to turn the economy back into the economy they handed Obama.
