      Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared false numbers about black employment, so the Council of Economic Advisers corrects her with misleading numbers about black unemployment. Why would you start counting Obama's tenure in Nov. 2008, three months before he took office? 1/xpic.twitter.com/9o496oDkRD

      Maybe the CEA blamed Obama for 3 months of job losses before he took office because the end of 2008 was the worst of the Great Recession. Here's black employment from Nov 08 to July 10, the period the CEA chose. Notice how the biggest decline is on the left, pre-Obama. 2/xpic.twitter.com/MSojdreae1

      And here's black employment starting in Feb 09, when Obama took office. Couple of stagnant years, then steady growth. Notice a big change starting in Feb 17, when Trump took office? No? That's because there isn't any. 3/xpic.twitter.com/s5Xneqez3g

      So black employment, like pretty much every other economic metric, is on a positive trend. That's good. But Trump's one big economic achievement is a giant debt-financed tax cut. Borrowing over a trillion dollars and doing nothing more than staying on trend isn't impressive. 4/x

      The White House is also facing pressure over racial issues (again), this time about the possibility Trump said n***** on tape. Makes sense they'd try to tout black employment numbers (which are good). 5/x

          But the Trump admin's Obama obsession means they can't just say black employment is looking really good right now. Which it is. It has to be better than Obama's record. Which it isn't. So they have to make up or misleadingly present the numbers. 6/x

          Presidents' control over the economy is overstated. There's limited value in taking a snapshot and giving credit/blame to whomever happened to be POTUS at the time. But if you're going to do that, at least choose a time when the POTUS you're looking at was actually POTUS. (END)

          Replying to @NGrossman81

          As shown by CBS News poll, 83% of Repubs approve of Trump’s handling of racial issues; 90% of Dems disapprove. He's made us into two Americas. Shithole countries quote plays into this. He incites/divides for selfish purposes. My blog:https://medium.com/@Hanover/under-trump-its-the-divided-states-of-america-2762b0c884dd?source=linkShare-ee3d3272a12f-1534342230 …
