The big stat – and this happened during the first Trump administration, nobody likes to talk about it: Wages adjusted for inflation were massively up under Donald Trump for Black men, for Black families, [and] for all Americans, Donalds said on October 13 on the CNN programme State of the Union.
Wages for Black Americans and Black men did rise under Trump, but Donalds ignored that they rose three times faster under Trump's successor, President Joe Biden, even after adjusting for a period of 40-year-high inflation on Biden's watch.
Rather than narrowing under Trump, the Black-white wage gap widened. I can't find any way that suggests that [Donalds] is right, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a centre-right think tank.
The wage gap that Democrats love to lecture about – the wage gap in 2019 was actually shrinking under Donald Trump's administration, his economic policies, his energy policies, and his regulatory policies.
