Trump ended today's presser thusly: "I've done more for black Americans than anybody, with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln." Over his 1st term, black unemployment has gone from 7.5% -> 15.4%.

Your periodic reminder that over Obama's 8 years, it went from 12.7% -> 7.5%.

To be honest Trump has united black voters like no other president, but it’s against him.

Trump refused to rent to Black Americans until the company was sued under the the Fair Housing Act. In retrospect, that might have been the nicest thing he has ever done for people of color.https://t.co/kimZf6JuWJ

There is only one belief on which Trump has never wavered: white supremacy

As a loud & proud racist, he

-refused to rent to Black people
-still stands by his ad-campaign to execute innocent Black men
-stated a judge of Latinx descent cldnt be impartial
-championed birtherism

He also said he wasn't racist by saying his administration did Justice Reform as if that was an exclusively "black American" issue that he later added.

He could not hold more racist beliefs in that little noggin'.

*Possible* exception - one gassed protesters fighting for black people & says they hurt subdivision home value and the other one freed them from slavery. It’s SO hard to decide which did more good. 🤦♀️

In terms of "doing more"...@realdonaldtrump has caused the deaths of countless African-Americans by mishandling COVID, so there's that.

Further, *Trump wants to deify Confederate soldiers and their related statues and military bases bearing their names.

Trump thinks he has done more for Black Americans in history than even Abraham Lincoln. That must be why black people are writing BLACK LIVES MATTER in giant letters in front of all of his houses.
