Neither did I vote for either one of them, and I'm certainly not complaining about the results. So if Biden says or does something stupid, I not going to say to myself, "I can't believe I voted for that man." The same had it been Trump.
Alright lets look at that then. Black unemployment under Obama never dropped below 8% while he was in office. Under Trump, it dropped all the way to 5.2%, setting several record lows from late 2016 through 2019. The previous record was 7% in April, 2000. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000006
Hispanic unemployment under Obama never dropped below 5.4%, while under Trump, it dropped to a low of 4%, also setting a number of record lows in 2018 and 2019. The previous record was 5%, in December, 2006. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS14000009
Asian unemployment under Obama dropped under 3% for one month of his term. Under Trump, it set a record low of 2.0%, with the previous record set in December, 2006 at 2.4%. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU04032183
Trump did better than "just maintained."
Amen. Obama's economy stunk, even after allowing the routine recession recovery time factor. We likely wasted years on the imbecilic "shovel ready Project" fantasy.
When Trump campaigned for POTUS he stated at the debate he could fix the crime problem in Chicago in a week. It seems none of the politicos do enough to fix crime or don't want to.
The Dem voters don't care if the criminals take the streets back as long as they get free handouts. If all the violent protests in Portland and other cities didn't get the voters out to vote or mail in a GOP vote down the line, nothing will. I say let the Dem voters live with the crime along with the invasion of illegals, they voted for it. I'll stay in.
So why didn't Trump fix it in a week when he was POTUS???
He was nothing but a blowhard...a criminal in his own right who should be in jail for tax fraud and for inciting an insurrection and for trying to tamper w/ an election and for condemning over 600,000 Americans to death by his lack of response to Covid.
What corporations do conservatives worship? And what corporations are hiring all these illegals?
All those big Ag Farms throughout CA...all the chicken and meat processing plants throughout the midwest...all those contractors building shoddy homes in the sunbelt...the list goes on and on....Trump's own properties do all the time hire illegals for house keeping type positions....
Maybe if they severely fined any company that hires illegals and any manager that does gets charged w/ a crime and imprisoned, then we'd get somewhere.

Trump is the first POTUS since Hoover to have less people working at the end of his presidency than at the beginning...his economy in 2020 was terrible because of his terrible response to the pandemic.

Lol. Because Trump wasn’t given a chance from the beginning. When Hillary lost and Obuma 2.0 was flushed down the toilet, impeachment talks were already starting and the goosechase was on. He was immediately deemed a racist and cleaning up Chicago’s cesspool wasn’t happening.
Any proof to these allegations?
Actually, Fauci is the “expert” scientist/immunologist that told everyone, including because Trump, “we have nothing to worry about”, when in fact, there was something to worry about from day one.

NO. It was DeAnna Lorraine, a Trump supporter, who said that was what Dr. Fauci said. That was not true. Lorraine, who wanted Fauci fired, intentionally misstated what the Doctor said to make Fauci look bad.
You know they're getting concerned when consultant James Carville is writing WSJ op-eds that strain to make a case for the Dems ability to tackle crime. But they're so impractical and inept so they focus on guns, which are already heavily restricted in many high crime cities, and have no answer for the impact of BLM/Defund on rising homicides. Politically, Biden would be wise to add more police $ to re-fund the cops in major cities across the country, but that would upset the impractical wokers in his own party. Basically, they have no answer for this problem and it will likely end up helping the GOP raise money, slow down the Dem agenda elsewhere, and ultimately turn the House and Senate red in 2022.
It is going to drive Mexican-Americans in Texas and elsewhere into the Republican Party.
Trump said he wanted to see Stop & Frisk expanded nationwide. That is one of the reasons I refused to vote for him (I voted for Gary Johnson in 2016). To be honest, I don't expect Presidents to do anything about crime on the local level.
Stop-and-frisk is unconstitutional. And you're right about the part in bold. What we have now, however, is a media campaign to encourage black criminals to resist arrest and to punish cops who try to stop them. and that's a problem. We have a foreigner funding campaigns to elect pro-crime district attorneys in the country's biggest cities. That's a problem. The media and our other governing institutions are encouraging crime with disastrous results for non-blacks and even worse results for blacks. Since George Floyd's death, homicides are up about 40%, which means about 4,000 extra dead black people in just one year.
