CNN anchor Jake Tapper hammered the President for remarks he made about the black community, only to be rebutted by analyst Van Jones who said actually, Trump doesnt get enough credit for the good stuff he has done.
The exchange highlights a chasm between media reporting of Trumps accomplishments for the black community and what people are actually feeling in those communities about his efforts.
Tapper began by taking exception to comments made during the last presidential debate in which Trump said hes done more for the Black community than any president with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln.

Eight in ten black Americans believe that Trump is a racist, according to a Washington Post/Ipsos poll earlier this year, Tapper criticized, failing to acknowledge the media and his own networks role in fomenting that myth.
Why does the president make comments like that instead of acknowledging that he has said things that seem insensitive but he wants to work on it? he continued.
