Trump Takes Undue Credit on Black Unemployment
Firing back at criticism from Jay-Z, President Donald Trump went too far when he claimed the black unemployment rate is the lowest in recorded history “because of my policies.”
While it’s true that the black unemployment rate recently reached its lowest level in decades, the rate has been in steady decline for about the last seven years.
Trump has about the record-low unemployment among African Americans. But in response to criticisms leveled by rap mogul Shawn “Jay-Z” on CNN, Trump took full credit for the milestone in black unemployment.
