    Trump just using his black tools to deflect as usual. The guy is a racist then hides behind shi t like this.

      If this was nothing, then why is everyone talking about it? Cause it is something, right or wrong.

      And like someone else said, if he does it, it is pandering, if he doesn't, he is a racist.

      Trump can't win no matter what, which is typical politics anyways.

        Come on. No one was going to call him a racist for not pardoning Jack Johnson.

        He is, however, called a racist for some other shlt he has done.

          you didn't address my point. he would have hit that number without doing anything. you could just as easily say he hit that number cause he deregulated the EPA or cause there was a full moon. it was going to happen no matter what because of the previous recovery policies under *****. there was nothing that could derail that progress barring an economic disaster so yes credit for no disasters but if you understand economies disasters don't happen overnight or even in a year or two.

          as far as tax cuts and deregulation...thats just wrong and the last 40 years has settled that debate with clarity. you didn't post this part for some reason...average hourly earnings increased 8 cents. you got those at the top literally putting tens of millions in their pockets and you are talking about 8 cents? yes thank you now the average worker is economically secure! i got an extra 3 dollars a paycheck well now im economically secure! now they don't have to be subsidized by the government with welfare/food stamps(a common corporate ploy to increase profits by paying workers less) cause they got 3 dollars!

          From 1973 to 2016, net productivity rose 73.7 percent, while the hourly pay of typical workers essentially stagnated—increasing only 12.5 percent over 43 years (after adjusting for inflation). This means that although Americans are working more productively than ever, the fruits of their labors have primarily accrued to those at the top and to corporate profits

          The huge gap between rising incomes at the top and stagnating pay for the rest of us shows that workers are no longer benefiting from their rising productivity. Before 1979, worker pay and productivity grew in tandem. But since 1979, productivity has grown eight times faster than typical worker pay (hourly compensation of production/nonsupervisory workers).


          Policymakers can help to grow wages by raising the minimum wage; updating overtime rules; strengthening rights to collective bargaining; regularizing undocumented workers; ending forced arbitration; securing workers’ access to sick leave and paid family leave; closing race and gender inequities; awarding government contracts only to firms that adhere to wage, health, and safety laws; and tackling workplace abuses such as misclassification and wage theft.
          Policies that will not help to raise wages include individual or corporate tax cuts, austerity, increasing college or community college completion, deregulation, and policies aimed at increasing long-term growth.

          Wage stagnation is not inevitable. It is the direct result of public policy choices on behalf of those with the most power and wealth that have suppressed wage growth for the vast majority in recent decades. Thus, because wage stagnation was caused by policy, it can be alleviated by policy.


          tax cuts, austerity, and deregulation aka the last 40+ years(even under ********s). if it works it would have worked by now so i'm not sure what you mean by its easier to operate? its easier to pay your workers a low wage yes yes it is. thats the problem. so the tax cuts/deregulation had nothing to do with reaching low unemployment as it was on pace to reach that anyway and they certainly don't help with wage growth as i just proved or do you want to keep ****ing your head into a wall for 40 more years and see if we get a different result?
          He has been told this many times. He chooses to ignore it.

            Meanwhile ***** was too busy commuting the sentence of a ****** traitor to bother pardoning Johnson. Quite surprised the race-card President didn't pardon him. Then again he was/is a beta-male who probably hates boxing.

                Why bother either way? The guy is long dead. I'm sure there's people alive today that could use a pardon.

                  The pardon was just a favor from Trump to Stallone as a way to promote his next movie.

                      Political move how?
                      The ultra left wing media and newspaper writers & sports writers that are all anti trump
                      How is that politically motivated, and those folks all of the sudden will like him, and like his policies??? Please he pardoned Johnson because it was a overzealous prosecutorial lynching , period
                      I hate when people get political, keep it to boxing
                      And that’s that
