What triggers a snowflake / Democrats almost faster than anything?
Pointing out the fact that President Trump has been and continues to be a Champion of Black People, that he has done more for Blacks in 2 years than the 1st Black President did for them in 8 years!
OPINION: President Trump Has Been A Champion For Black Americans
“What the hell do you have to lose?” then-candidate Donald J. Trump asked the black community during his 2016 campaign. Despite what many pundits and pollsters predicted, Trump ended up receiving 8 percent of the black vote, which was notably higher than what John McCain and Mitt Romney received.
Trump boldly proclaimed at his inauguration, “The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.” He singled out “mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities” and “rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation.” Clearly, he meant every word.
Fast forward to 2018 and we can see President Trump turning campaign rhetoric into federal policy for the betterment of all Americans, especially those in fragile communities and black Americans. His “jobs and justice” agenda has focused on criminal justice reform, Opportunity Zones, and tremendous rule changes at the Department of Labor that will make positive impacts in the lives of minority small business owners and those with 401ks.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott said it best at the Opportunity and Revitalization Council Executive Order signing when he told President Trump “without out any question without out your leadership our Senate would not have made the decision to take it up in 2018 so when it passes the credit starts at the White House & starts with President Donald J. Trump.” Because that is true. When the senator raised the plan to include this in his historic tax cut package, the president was fully on board and championed its inclusion and implementation. Opportunity Zones are designed to be a catalyst for investment in fragile communities by incentivizing about $100B in investments in the 8,700 designated zones across the country.
The black community actually has a lot to gain from the president’s jobs and justice agenda. In just over two years, President Trump has shown himself to be committed to making bold changes that are overwhelmingly good for people of color. Democrats sitting on the sidelines, tearing down every Trump supporter and administration staffer, threatening impeachment and baseless investigations do not do anything to bring the country together or solve our problems.
We saw the president’s labor secretary put forth two rule changes that are major victories for minorities. Associates Health Plans that open up more opportunities for millions of small business owners to access affordable health care options, previously not afforded to them under Obamacare. Additionally, with the support of people like BET Founder Robert L. Johnson, the Labor Department’s Auto portability rule change for 401ks allowing Americans, especially minorities the ability to preserve their retirement savings when they change jobs, preventing people from having to cash out and face harsh financial penalties.
We also saw the president move the White House initiative on HBCUs to the White House, and refuse to cut Historically Black College and University (HBCU) support in his budget. The Minority Business Development Agency recently announced $2M in awards to HBCUs this year. The Trump administration is on track to become the greatest champion for HBCUs with its continued support and budgetary increases with the help of the 115th GOP controlled Congress. President Trump is leading to make HBCUs a national priority."
"Donald J. Trump’s actions as president prove we should no longer ask what we have to lose, but instead ask, what more do we want to gain?"
