Sure, most of the money. But more of that money went to lower tier workers than would have otherwise. So like I said, it's maligned by pundits but appreciated by many workers. It's a fact that substantial amounts of money did trickle down. I agree with you that the percentages were much lower than they ought to have been. I'd also like to see wages grow even faster, but growing at all is pretty good compared to the stagnation we've seen. Trump's got the economy humming right now. That's been very good for me. Believe me when I say, I hope the Dems do just as well their next at bat.
As far as impacting blacks, I'm an outsider to that community, but an intimate outsider. I spend a lot of time in East Cleveland and on the east side of Cleveland and things are looking up. It's not all roses, but we had some lean years there for a while. I'm no political pollster, and all I've got to offer are anecdotes, but I've got a lot of anecdotes because I put in the time down in the hood. The things I hear black people trashing Trump for are small but important symbolic things. They basically think he's at least a low grade racist he doesn't care much for blacks personally. The things I hear them say begrudgingly giving him credit are more substantial imo, they think he's responsible for things going well on St. Clair.
I think Trump would be smart to give a speech at least one a month where he either explicitly says or very clearly expresses the idea that he likes black people in his unique way: "Blacks are the best people. I love blacks. They are yuugely important to making America great."
