It's clear from the graphs that trump inherited a rising economy and a lowered rate of unemployment; he didn't create them.
Next, OPIC was not launched by trump and it wasn't committed to specifically help women. It started in 1971 and its mission statement reads:
If Hillary had been President she would have continued in Obama's footsteps and our economy would be second to China right now. Instead, Trump has flipped the script and he's bringing the jobs back in by the thousands. He's bring companies back, he is restoring our manufacturing base. Obama used the EPA to effectively hobble our energy sector and placed bureaucratic red tape just about everywhere, slowing economic development.
But if we get down to brass tacks, he was actually handed both a good economy and a bad one. Some of our trade deals were downright horrible for the American worker. Almost like people wanted to send jobs overseas. The mass migration away from the United States, the big push, was done intentionally to destroy the American manufacturing base.
But for the middle class the scars of the recession still run deep. Federal Reserve survey data show families in the middle fifth of the income scale now earn less and their net worth is lower than when Obama took office. In the middle, the economy has shed positions - whether in traditional trades like machining or electrical work, white-collar jobs in human resources, or technical ones like computer operators.
Next, OPIC was not launched by trump and it wasn't committed to specifically help women. It started in 1971 and its mission statement reads:
Trump never claimed to have started OPIC. He did however, create an incredible Initiative dedicated to helping women realize their full potential through economic opportunities. Investments directly from OPIC total more than one billion dollars. This is all about economic empowerment.
WASHINGTON – Ray W. Washburne, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Government’s development finance institution, issued the following statement after the Trump Administration launched the
Women’s Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) Initiative:
Through our 2X Women’s Initiative, OPIC will play a critical role in advancing the Administration’s efforts to empower women globally and help them reach their full economic potential.
Across the world, women face barriers to full economic participation including access to credit to grow their businesses. OPIC has stepped in with its 2X Women’s Initiative to invest more than $1 billion to support women’s economic empowerment in the developing world. We know that when women can expand their economic opportunity, they invest that money back in their families and communities. Investing in women is a way to extend our impact and bring positive change to the developing world.
OPIC is committed to gender lens investing to support women in the developing world and to unlock the multitrillion dollar investment opportunity they represent. Through 2X, OPIC is directly investing $350 million and has already mobilized over $1 billion in capital supporting women-owned, women-led enterprises and companies that provide a product or service that
intentionally empowers women.
Finally, I asked what a liberal white woman could say about trump and you posted a list of conservative women who all got jobs in the trump administration. (I'm assuming Rachel Brand, not Heather Brand, is also a republican and she worked under G.W. bush and Barack Obama before she worked for trump.) Furthermore, many of these women have already left their positions in the administration.
I was only thinking ahead for you... when we flip the script and get you on board as a Trump supporter THEN we can talk about getting you into the White House! But no, all kidding aside, I think you and I both know that Trump cares deeply about women in the workplace but also women who are underprivileged or facing abortion, in example. In this case Trumps concern is twofold: First he is fighting for the rights of the unborn baby and fighting for motherhood for the mother. A barren women is incomplete without love and family - its a vain existence. The selfish motives that lead women to have abortions in the first place is what Trump is targeting.
We shut down Planned Parenthood and eliminate all federal founding for abortion. With Trumps conservative supreme court judges in place, Trump should be able to revisit Roe v Wade and close the book on that dark chapter of barbarism and baby butchering for good.
It's indisputable that trump has a cruel and misogynistic viewpoint toward women, especially those who cross him. And this is not limited to liberal women. We all got our first glimpse of this when he insulted Carly Fiorina during the campaign. Then he went on to insult and scorn more women than I can count over the last three years. Indisputable.
First of all I am going to challenge your sources. It sounds to me like you subscribe to the liberal media? Secondly they push a narrative and as a dem they simply want you to follow suit and dont ask questions. But you should be asking some major questions right now, like did the media lie to me about Trump and racism? Yes. Do they misconstrue Trump as a hater of women? Yes they do. Did the media slander Trumps name? Yes they did- almost on a daily basis. Did the media twist Trumps words? ALWAYS. So its all about point of view. And really, thats the only thing you are lacking. Once you have perspective everything becomes clear. You are still in the valley right now but the sun is shining through. Remember, our nation is going to be awesome again, despite what your mainstream media is telling you! Trump is by far the best President Since Lincoln and he is only getting started. DO NOT miss the trump train.
