unemployment, american african-americans, hispanic ame, we have great news on the economy. better news with kim jong un. he is not firing rockets over japan. president trump: honestly, korea, north korea, south korea, things are working out very nicely. sean: the iranian economy and of the chinese economy are going down as you have taken a tough stand. president trump: it is time to take a stand on china. it has been a long time, they have been hurting us. our farmers are great and starting to do very well again. it is very interesting, but we are putting very, very heavy sanctions and other things on various countries. and we are getting along with some countries. we have been ripped off, sean, by the world. all of these countries, for years and years, we can t do it anymore. sean: getting better deals with mexico. president trump: good for mexico, good for us, everybody is happy. nafta was a disaster. we lost thousands of plans,
most in the modern era. one more thing, david. was that an attempt to take credit? why would he want to say that? what was the objective? because they ve wanted to make it about clearly economic terms. look, there are stats they can tout. black unemployment has gone from 7.7% to 7.4% since trump s been in office but it went from 12.7% to 7.7% with barack obama in office. this is not just about the unemployment rate or consumer confidence or housing. this is also about respect for american citizen, and this president s rhetoric during the campaign, during the transition, during his presidency has not respected american african-americans. there s a reason congressman john lewis and one of the seniors in congress is declining to go to the event.
