Trump’s most under-reported achievement

The Daily Wire reports:

Chief Washington Correspondent CBS News Host Major Garrett said during the most recent broadcast of CBS News' “Face The Nation” that President 's efforts, and subsequent successes, to improve the lives of minority communities in the United States was the most underreported news of 2019. …

“And yet it can be fairly said that administration, because of President 's quiet prodding, has done quite a bit for funding of historically black colleges and universities,” Garrett said. “The First Step Act, which was a massive first step toward criminal reform. Just a couple of weeks ago, in this newly signed defense bill, there is a law that says if you are seeking work for the federal government or any contractor, you don't have to be asked and you cannot be asked about your criminal history until right toward the end. That's a significant change long sought by criminal justice advocates, plus opportunity zones in the tax bill directed at communities of color.”

Garrett noted that Trump's achievements for minority communities have been so historic that it is a record that “almost any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama.”

An interesting observation. Also worth noting the African-American unemployment rate of 5.4% is the lowest in history since they started recording it in 1972.
