Description: "President Trump Retruthed this: ""In the spirit of having an important conversation with the American people and the black community, President Trump went in person to NABJ today (unlike his Democrat opponent) who continues to take the black community for granted. He stood strong in the face of vicious attacks and gotcha questions, because that’s what leaders do. As for his record, President Trump accomplished MORE for the Black Community than any other President in my lifetime. FULL STOP. He’s responsible for the First Step Act (real criminal justice reform), historic funding of HBCUs (just like the one my parents attended), created opportunity zones, funded workforce development, was a CHAMPION for school choice, and delivered the greatest economy of our lifetime for Americans of ALL color. Facts matter. Trump has delivered for the black community and as President, he will AGAIN."""
