We achieved the lowest black, Hispanic, and Asian unemployment rates in American history. And we will do it again. We’ll do it again. We’re fighting for school choice, which really is the civil rights of all time in this country. Frankly, school choice is the civil rights statement of the year, of the decade, and probably beyond — because all children have to have access to quality education. A child’s zip code in America should never determine their future, and that’s what was happening. So we’re very, very strong on school choice, and I hope everybody remembers that. And it’s happening. It’s already happened, but it’s happening. We have tremendous opposition from people that know they shouldn’t be opposing it. School choice.You have that right. When the topic du jour is cops killing people of color, Trump whines about the economy and school choice. Trump also bleated about equal opportunity, blithely forgetting his own racist past when he was actively discriminating against Black people looking for housing.
...
And I just want to say we’ve done incredibly well. We’re doing well. Things are happening that nobody can even believe. Our country is opening up. And it’s opening up rapidly. We had the best unemployment and employment. We had best unemployment and employment numbers — think of that — in the history of our country. We’re up to almost 160 million people working. There was never anything even close. And that’s for almost every group including black, Hispanic, Asian, women, young people, old people, young people without a high school diploma. Every group. Everybody was thrilled. Everybody had — just about –high-paying jobs.
He also just keeps lying about Obama.
President Obama and Vice President Biden never even tried to fix this during their eight-year period. The reason they didn’t try is because they had no idea how to do it. And it is a complex situation.That is a massive and honking lie. As I've explained in my previous post, Trump not only stopped ongoing efforts to deal with police misconduct, he actually encouraged more misconduct. President Obama stopped transferring military gear to civilian cops, Trump resumed it. Trump abandoned investigations into police misconduct. Obama opened civil rights investigations into brutal police misconduct, Trump abandoned the ones that were going on and sharply reduced new ones (if not canceling them outright).
The truth of the matter is that Trump has been agreeable with police using excessive force and killing people of color. Trump figured that as long as the economy was peachy, nobody would notice that the cops have been murdering folks.
To shift gears a little:
Trump's little trip to Walter Reed turned out to be, as I suggested at the time, a pack of lies. And so is this.
244 and 6’ 3”, yea, no. I’ve been in the ballpark of his physical condition, and if I was 6’ 3” then I would have weighed 291.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if his health bugaboo last November was a stroke?
ReplyDeleteI think the idea is beginning to dawn on him that he's not going to be given the opportunity to tread upon his penis like Bush did when he tried to privatize Social Security, so he's out there wanting to privatize K-12 education.

THe biggest lies of them are his campaign promises, none have happend.
The second set is trying to rewrite history in the Orwellian way.
All that from a man that has been fact cheacked and found untrue or
misrepresented 20,000 or more times in 4 years the assumption is
if he is talking its a lie and if true its a talking point to
his lies.
IF you feel this is all lies, check your programming.
