The U.S. Labor Department reported Friday that the unemployment rate for African-Americans fell to 6.8 percent in December – the lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1972. That’s an astounding drop from the 8.3 percent black unemployment rate in October 2016, just before Donald Trump was elected president."
"Hispanic unemployment was at a near-record low of 4.9 percent in December – down from 5.7 percent the month before the election of President Trump. Additionally, there were four months in 2017 in which the Hispanic seasonal unemployment fell below 5 percent – the only time that has occurred in a single year over the past 44 years."
That great market started years ago, under Obama. Trump just rode the wave and did nothing to either contribute to it or screw it up (yet.)
I'm still waiting on the OP to explain, exactly, what policies Trump has enacted to make jobs easier to find for African Americans and Hispanics. There has been no answer whatsoever to that question, which means giving Trump credit for this downturn is utter lunacy.
We all know the truthful answer - he hasn't done anything about jobs in general, and certainly nothing about jobs for minorities. But this forum isn't about truth. It's about partisan, right-wing propaganda. So, by all means - let us continue to give credit to Trump for Obama's actions. It's not like Trump has anything of his own to brag about.
And that's exactly the point. Blacks don't have problems unique to them. You create jobs, and everyone benefits. Problem is you can't think like that. You are used to politicians going into black neighborhoods and talk policies to help blacks, then go into Hispanic neighborhoods and talk policies to help Hispanics.
Again, what SPECIFIC job creation policies has Trump enacted that created this downturn in unemployment numbers among blacks and Hispanics? If the answer is "nothing," than he deserves no credit.
You don't get to just spout off empty political catch phrases like "create jobs and everyone benefits" while at the same time trying to credit Trump for "creating jobs." He hasn't done anything - even by your own admission. So, he isn't worthy of any credit.
Right-wing lunacy on this forum is an at all time high. We've literally got people giving credit to Trump for job creation by saying he did "nothing to create jobs." And that's after dealing with the fruits who are crediting Trump for "allowing people to say Merry Christmas without fear," and thanking Trump for "preventing airplane crashes." It is amazing - Trump now deserves credit for anything good that happens on his watch, even if - by the admission of right-wingers - he "did nothing" to deserve it!
Bad news for Democrats who want to portray the US as Nazi Germany under Trump
It's the greatest Nightmare for the Leftists - they count on the Minority Votes and keep the Minorities DOWN to guarantee those Votes. Leftists come around every 2-4. years, go to the churches, do their "get out the vote"
And nothing every changes. Donald Trump said - "what do you have to lose?"
Doing the same thing for generations has gotten Minorities what?

Minorities, and really, no one should be impressed with a plethora of low paying, no benefits, jobs.

Trump doesn't create jobs. Companies do. Trump is getting out of their way. Economy often moves just on talk. The stock market has been going up just anticipating tax cuts. The kind of proof you want you will never find it in a president. He is not personally digging trenches and laying down pipelines.
