I just signed up for the Bulwark. Can you help me to understand this? In response to Obama’s speech about Black/Hispanic men not voting for Kamala, the Black Men for Trump said, “We need President Trump back in office because he delivered what no one else did—real results for Black America,” the letter states. “He restored the American Dream by creating jobs, lowering Black unemployment, launching Opportunity Zones, and securing permanent funding for HBCUs. Under Trump, Black families had a shot at building wealth, breaking generational cycles, and thriving.” Are each of these elements true or are they lies? “More jobs—T/F?, lowering Black unemployment—T/F?, launching Opportunity Zones—T/F?, and securing permanent funding for HBCUs—T/F?” Can you share whether these accomplishments actually happened under Trump? Thank you for your time. Take care, Ira Baker

Blacks were doing better than previously during the thump administration but have done even better with Biden, despite having to recover from the consequences of the pandemic.
