There are millions of Americans who didn't vote for Trump who have substantially benefited from the economic boom created by his tax cut and deregulation policies. The median household income is up $5,003 before taxes for his term so far, and given the tax cuts, the after-tax total must be even higher. Racial and ethnic minorities with large numbers of low-income members have benefited tremendously from the cutoff of the supply of unskilled labor from illegal aliens, as wages have climbed steeply at that end of the scale.
Beth Bauman of Townhall notes that Hispanics have particularly benefitted:
The Hispanic unemployment rate currently sits at 4.2 percent, the White House revealed back in September.
Even the mainstream media, who hates President Trump and everything he stands for, had to give him credit for the achievement.
"The total economic output of Latinos in the United States was $2.3 trillion in 2017, up from $2.1 trillion, according to a new report," MSNBC reported last month.
"The Hispanic women unemployment rate was 3.8% in September and the Black adult women jobless rate was 4.6%," CNBC reported in October.
For Democrats, these gains are poison, as they seek to encourage bloc-voting on the basis of racial grievance, not self-interest, on the part of blacks and Hispanics.
Yesterday, DNC chairman Tom Perez appeared on Univision for an interview with anchor Patricia Janiot, filling in for Jorge Ramos on the Sunday talk show Al Punto. At the very end of the interview, she threw in a question based on the economic realities mentioned above. Transcript via Grabien:

JANIOT: “Mr. Perez, President Trump has achieved something important, especially for Latinos, which is to reduce the unemployment rate to historic lows. How, then, can the Democrats compete with a president that has been beneficial to Latinos on economic matters?”
PEREZ: “The economic situation in the United States is excellent for the wealthy like Trump, but the economic situation is still bad for our community and that’s why we have to elect Democrats.”
JANIOT: “Many thanks, Mr. Perez, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee.”
PEREZ: “Goodbye.”

Tom Perez is as annoying as Chris Hahn.
Typical Democrat move whenever the economy is good.
“Yes, but not enough of it is trickling down to YOU!”
Nobody is as annoying as Chris Hahn.
I’d rather listen to Hillary screech and cackle than listen to that doofus talk.
Democrat, Tom Perez is an empty suit, moron, buffoon, who requires someone to show him and lead him to the bathroom!!! What a loser this poor dude is!!!
JANIOT: “Many thanks, Mr. Perez,
Geez, Perez answers the question with a bunch of nonsense and all the questioner can say is "many thanks".
Boy she really nailed him on that question. Hard-hitting journalism as usual demonstrated by Univision. /s
