Poor DEI cuts.

 

[Moonglow]

What the OP doesn’t say is that UE for blacks and all Americans quickly reversed course and was rising from 2023 on ward…trump actually reversed that upward spike for blacks and it’s been going down the past couple months

I wonder if incarcerated people are considered unemployed.

 

[struth]

But the stock market is hitting new highs!

This is true, working Americans 401ks and IRAs are booming

Americans who had to put off retirement during the xiden years …can now retire

Poor DEI cuts.

Like Noem and Bondi and Mullin, Lyons and et al?

How do you know they may not be able to? So far, you have not backed yer assertions.

A lot of black women worked in the federal govt

So not surprised to see this with the cuts to spending trump has undertaken

Black women made up 12 percent of the total federal workforce

That’s nearly twice of their percent of total work force at 7 percent

In case you didn’t know it debt is out of control. We can’t afford to keep govt this big

Yup. Fire the women too.

Really? We can afford a war, a plane that costs billions to refurbish, pay foreign businesses billions not to install wind turbine power already contracted, a billion dollars now fer a ballroom, I could go on fer hours about not having dough to spend, yet it is spent.

I guess I do not invest in corporations; I invest in myself in real estate, and during Biden, I made a mint. I am still making dough.

Donald Trump: The Most Destructive President for Black Americans in 65 Years

We will remember this OP, we will.

The operation in Iran is necessary, the president needs a plane, we are reimbursing foreign companies that xiden gave contracts too, for jobs we don’t need, and the money for the ballroom is for security

All necessary things

Paying someone to sit at a desk isn’t…but you highlighted a good point there is a lot going on in govt, so if you are laid off, you really aren’t needed

I mean, clearly Donald Trump is targeting ONLY BLACKS!
He's so diabolical that way!

"Nope! Just don't like those colored folks. I've set up the economy to punish them. I've instructed the Fed to target them."

You forgot the $20B to Argentina for....some reason.

 

[g5000]

When you allow in tens of millions of illegal migrants and hire them, paying them less, you will have a higher unemployment percentage among the population.
You can thank the Democrats for that. They didn't want borders, knowing full well that millions would come in seeking work at reduced wages and vote Democrat because that was the party allowing it to happen.

You poor dumb cultists never ever hold Trump accountable for anything, do you.

You blew right past the fact black unemployment was the lowest level in history under a Democrat.

Just right up and ignored that.

Seek help for your delusional reasoning, son.

Pretty sure they weren't DEI hires. Now, Kentaji Brown Jackson is another story, but she still has a job.
