A liberal friend says President Trump has done nothing to help the oppressed. Besides the economy, please give me some examples.

There are no oppressed in America.
Get new friends.
Not sure, but you might check the White House website to see where his paychecks are going. Every quarter, he gives the $78k left after taxes to a different charity.
That is REAL support. Doing stuff with other people’s money hardly counts.
I’m sure Jennifer Hudson remembers well the kindness of Donald Trump.

Illegal immigrants take American jobs. But they’re not taking jobs from rocket scientists. They’re taking entry-level jobs. Those are the kind of jobs where many poorer Americans get their start in life. Illegal immigrants also depress entry-level wages.
By limiting illegal immigration, Trump is helping American workers. And it’s the poorer American workers Trump is helping the most!
Dept. Of Education forgave the hurricane loans of four HCBU colleges that rebuilt in 2005 after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Obama didn’t even do that. https://www.asumag.com/facilities-management/business-finance/article/20856170/department-of-education-forgives-322-million-in-loans-to-historically-black-colleges
There are many, many stories of Donald Trump helping people in need. But like so many other rich people in the public eye — Sinatra and Elvis come to mind — so much of his generosity will never be known.
Your “liberal friend” is completely mistaken. That’s a “friend” worth losing.
I would first ask your liberal friend to define “oppressed”. Nobody ever forces Leftists to define their terms, and worse, we let them set the definitions and change the definitions as they wish, which they use as weaponry.
Are the “oppressed” he or she refers to, domestic “oppressed” or worldwide “oppressed”?
If they are domestic oppressed, would an example of “oppressed” be blacks Americans who aren’t working? Or would it be something else?
Economic Oppresson and Political Oppression are inextricably intertwined and go together hand in glove. But the obverse is also true: Economic Freedom and Political Freedom are joined at the waist. You cannot have one without the other.
FACT: Donald Trump has promoted economic policies that produced the LOWEST levels of black unemployment in history. The Left doesn’t like that, so they move the goalposts to focus on some other aspect that suits their narrative.
If those characterizations of political freedom and economic freedom are true, then it is indisputable that he helped the oppressed.
And one more thing to keep in mind: If your leftist friend is talking about the “oppressed” in a world wide category, remember that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq had plenty of real, oppressed people in it. Arguments about the correct course of action to take may be had, but the FACT that there was a huge population of oppressed people in that country is indisputable.
The segment of the US population that excoriated Bush for committing troops there are largely composed of your leftist friend and his or her leftist friends who didn’t want us to take part in helping those “oppressed” people.
Your Leftist friend and his/her friends were also supportive of a President who did nothing to help oppressed people in Iran who were on the verge of rising up, and Obama did nothing to help them.
Human trafficking work. Lots of recent saves of kids. Earlier article about the bill he signed:
Historically black college funding
Extreme animal cruelty a felony now
Actually you’ll find tons at magapill.com, veterans, suicide, opioid stuff, prison reform, veterans...
In addition to lowering block unemployment, President Trump has also established enterprise zones in inner-city neighborhoods to help black businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive.
Yes. And didn’t Trump sign the First Step Act into law in 2018, which changed sentencing guidlines and rehabilitative processes that were thought by the Left to oppress blacks diproportionally?
Thing is, people who engage in this kind of mental masturbation seen exercised by the “liberal friend” of a Freeper aren’t remotely interested in the truth.
They are interested in a narrative that fits their goals, and that is it.
Sadly true.
Besides the economy,
“Aside from giving me and my neighbors more money, more free time, less stress, more resources for that free time, better food, more neat inventions available, and hope for the future, what improvement does a better economy bring?”

How about turning it around and asking this ‘friend” what Biden and Harris have done to help the oppressed...or what Biden has done in half a century of politics to help anyone but himself and his corrupt boy.

Here’s just 2 of the hits.
Well, Biden did make the penalty for crack cocaine more severe than regular cocaine. Thus providing a means for poorer folks to gain access to three meals and a cot at the gray-bar hotel.
