And how is that any different from our only other choice which was Hillary Clinton? The only reason you people bring up morals is because you lost, if Hillary Clinton were in the White House pusher her agenda you wouldn't give a damn about morals.

Key example of this is Opportunities zones. Mind you, it existed before him, but he took credit.

Instead, he mentioned it twice and we have never heard about it again. I have actually been following the people who run it and his black outreach, because it is an interesting concept. but they dont seem to even care that they are in charge of it.
That's because he's spent the last 2.5 years in office fighting against you POS liars who are on a mission to destroy his Presidency even if it means destroying the country along with it.

How can you cry about opportunity zones when he's brought about the lowest black unemployment rate in history? That's real opportunity. He's fighting to get control of the illegal immigration issue in this country which negatively affects the minority communities in America more than anyone else, that's real opportunities.

Though your thread title and poll question are slightly different, I think that to ask here on C-D is guaranteed to garner a lop-sided result.

Unemployment rate had been falling under Obama as well, he didnt add some significant decrease in unemployment, he simply did not interrupt the trend. No different than the last person in the relay race winning because the 3 people on his team all finished first in their legs of the race as well. The Person who goes last does not get the credit for everything, only a part.

Black Unemployment Rate when Barack Obama took office. 13.7
Black unemployment Rate when Barack Obama left office/Trump took office . 8.0
Black unemployment rate previous Record low 6.9

Black Unemployment rate today 6.0

Stop trying to act like Trump performed some miracle.


But here is the kicker, Trump isnt fighting against me, so im not sure what you actually mean there. He didnt need a single Dem vote to enact legislation to help the communities he said he would help. In fact, he regularly says he ignores Democrats, so what does it matter if my side whines ????? He had 2 years in the majority to do something and he chose not to. He had his chance and failed. Even now, he has not proposed anything that actually helps the working class.

They stay in power by making the masses believe one side is for the poor and average working man vs. the other side that is for the wealthy, the conservative, etc. Truth is both parties are controlled by wealthy corporate, globalists. It's like they say, when someone is elected as a U.S. Senator or Representative they chose which door to go through - the establishment or the one where they can't get anything done because they are an outsider.

Only way to really change it is with a new third party. The two ruling parties now are so controlled by the rich they are a lost cause. Meanwhile, they play the rest of us against each other. And by the way, that is one of the reasons for mass immigration and why illegal immigration isn't being dealt with. What better way to keep the population divided by bringing in a mass number of foreigners to help keep us from uniting.

I'm told here daily by leftist that I need to stop talking about Obama and Hillary, that we need to pay attention to Trump... make up your mind.

He has never had a filibuster proof majority and Democrats have used that against him since the day he took office, neither of us are stupid so stop trying to pass off this BS on me. He lowered taxes for the working class, working class wages are on the rise, middle class unemployment is at historic lows and the labor participation rate is up. At this very moment he's proposing a ton of things related to illegal immigration and border security that would help the working class and people like you are fighting against all of it.
