Do you ever wonder - what President Trump could do for Minority Communities in 8 years??

I bet a lot of them do - After all
"What do they have to lose"?

Decades of Leftist policies have failed. That's a fact.
What opportunity did Trump provide?

Name one policy that targeted the black community.

Just one.

You are all so gulible.

This guy met Trump in 2011 when Trump was considering a run for the Presidency.

They had meetings. There was not one community program Trump sponsored, organized, supported, promoted. In 2016 Cohen set up a National Diversity Committee -- why - because Trump was concerned about diversity? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

LOL

You are all so easily sold.

Funny to think that one of the biggest criticisms of Obama when he first declared his candidacy for President was his lack of experience -- he had only been a 'community organizer'....like it was a bad thing.

Now Trump fans are desperately trying to prove Trump may have been involved with any community anywhere at some point doing something - -holding meetings in Trump Tower or something -- just to prove how amazing he is.

Then he would have been criticized for helping his 'people'.

700,000 Jobs -
Can you provide a source that explains how Obama created 190,000 jobs for black Americans, and how Trump created 700,000 jobs for black Americans?

Black unemployment rate by year,

2009- 16.1
2010- 15.5
2011- 15.4
2012- 14.0
2013- 11.9
2014- 10.6
2015- 8.5
2016- 7.9
2017- 6.8
2018- 5.9

https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000006

Do you believe Donald Trump lowered the unemployment rate for black Americans, or did Trump inherit a black unemployment rate that has been steadily falling for 10 years?


And under Obama the black unemployment rate fell from 16.1% to 6.8%. And under Trump the black unemployment rate fell from 6.8% to 5.9%.

Did the black unemployment rate fall more under Obama or Trump?

Yep.
I expect their idea of urban renewal will involve forcing all of the poor out of their neighborhoods so that investors can buy the properties cheap and build luxury housing.

Exactly like what they are planning for Puerto Rico.

Nothing more than it did in the decades prior.

He has never been interested in housing for “average” Americans. He could have continued his father’s tradition of building homes for the middle-class but he jettisoned that as soon as he took over the company.
Nope, no dealing with the “little” people for 45.
