    The black unemployment rate fell from 16.5% to 7.8% from January 2011 –January 2017. Now it’s 6.8%. Thank President Obama – not @realDonaldTrump. #ThanksObama #AYearofTrump

        If there's one thing you can count on from 45 it's taking credit where none is due.

        I totally agree, but under #Trump it's fallen by 13% not 1%. Even so, it's primarily from #Obama's policies and the #economy he helped resurrect. Trump can't name a policy if his life depended on it.

        So who gets the credit for taking it from 7.2% in 2008 to 16.5% in 2011?

        The thing is Trump and other Rs count on their base NOT to research & take them at their word.

        How'd he cut it 1% if he hasn't even passed/proposed any laws to change the economic system that our great President before him already had in place

        Guys...I hate Trump but this isn't how unemployment works... there are plenty of things Trump can be attacked on that are more logical. This is blatant disregard for how fractions should be interpreted.

        It’s also twice unemployment. Little to celebrate until there is parity. When overall unemployment is 6.8% it’s a crisis. When it’s black unemployment at 6.8 trump wants a gold star.

        Trump's done how he always he does, put his name on things and claim them as his.

        It was only 8.1% when Obama came into office. So he reduced it by two-tenths of a percent in 8 years. #impressive #muchwow
