President Trump has done more for the black community in nearly three years than Elijah Cummings and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have in more than thirty years
Look at the black unemployment rate LOWEST IN HISTORY under Trump. Trump signed into law what the first black president couldnt criminal justice reform. Trump is also responsible for the first drop in opioid deaths in decades And how strange that this is suddenly not getting any attention:
President Donald Trump highlighted Baltimore City during a White House ceremony Wednesday afternoon as he signed an executive order focused on so-called opportunity zones.
Opportunity zones are under-served and distressed communities where tax incentives are offered for private investment.
Baltimore preacher Donte Hickman, who attended Wednesdays ceremony, told the president that Baltimore is prepared to be a demonstration project.
Your influence on federal agencies and private entities through this executive order will enable distressed communities like Broadway East in Baltimore to obtain investment needed to capitalize and bridge funding gaps to create obtainable health, wealth, housing, educational, recreational, grocery and employment opportunities, Hickman said.
The president announced the creation of a revitalization council to oversee the initiative to bolster investment in communities like in east Baltimore. The council will be chaired by Baltimores Ben Carson, the secretary of U.S. Housing and Urban Development.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said she sees opportunity where most people see blight.
Absolutely, I see opportunity, Pugh said.
The above is from December of last year, a mere eight months ago, and also present at the ceremony was Dr. Ben Carson, the Baltimore pediatric surgeon and folk hero, who is also Trumps HUD secretary.

“...Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said she sees opportunity where most people see blight....”
Well, after over 50 years of DEMOCRAT RULE, we still see blight. Need new glasses, mayor???
If Nancy Pelosi’s attack dogs were German Shepherds, Trump would be accused of being anti-German and an animal hater.
“Broadway East in Baltimore to obtain investment needed to capitalize and bridge funding gaps to create obtainable health, wealth, housing, educational, recreational, grocery and employment opportunities”
It’s mainly a mix of Johns Hopkins Hospital buildings and federally funded housing projects.
Yup, it has some of the best health care in the world and some of the dreariest housing.
But, but, but - what about Obama building 'Community Centers' in the black community named after some local civil rights worker - providing jobs for 18 democrat activists? What about THOSE jobs? Hun, hun, hun...
Drove to the harbor for the first (and probably last) time zig zagging the ghetto. These ghetto apologists have to be sh*tting me that they are going to defend this part of America that rivals the worst parts of the planet including slums of Haiti,Iraq and Afghanistan (places I saw in the Army).
