A liberal friend says President Trump has done nothing to help the oppressed. Please give me some examples.

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.

Well, he killed ISIS
I think they were oppressing people
He’s got the middle east on the path to reconciliation between Arabs and Jews, even hamas. That should reduce oppression.
He ended the Balkan war this week...more oppression reduced.
The Japanese aren’t hiding in air raid shelters from NK missiles and Hawaii stopped having air raid drills too, less oppression.
$75 billion to “ opportunity zones” for black businesses, historic high funding for black colleges. Oppressed much?
Maybe your liberal friend should just redo his taxes using 2015-2016 tax tables and check his personal,oppression.

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.

Besides the economy,


Dismissing the broad economic expansion is an astounding lack of understanding of what it means to people.

“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.

He and Senator Rick Scott collaborated on the Opportunity Zones bill that will send billions into black communities to support new businesses.

A young black woman who appeared on Steve Harvey’s show, was grateful to Trump because he had mentored her.

The website TheGivingTrump.com lists numerous instances of help he has given:

He gave Sen. Rand Paul’s charity 5k (without him asking) so he could help save people’s sight in Haiti. Incredibly generous.
