Trump has, from the moment his presidency began, crowed about them constantly and made them a major part of his rhetoric. These are literally the same unemployment numbers that candidate Trump called fake and made-up when they would have been attributed to Obama. IIRC, this point was raised by a reporter to an official early in the administration when we still actually had press briefings and they just laughed and said "Well now they're real of course," or something to that effect. I don't think the numbers Trump is talking about are fake - but they're pretty minor changes that he has a history of exaggerating and attempting to claim credit for. Which is hard to tell anyways since we're still kinda recovering from the great recession. But anyways, given that Trump is a racist, has made little effort to specifically uplift black Americans, and has a history of doing dumbass patronizing stunts to try appeal to what he thinks black people will like (shoutouts to A$AP Rocky), still fair to say the tweet is more dumb bullshit. --- DPOblivion was far more determined than me. ...
