Manufacturing is up in the US. Obama was seen as somebody who had given up, Trump is seen as someone who wants to bring it back, that's according to one business owner who they interviewed on 5live. His company sell parts to the US. He said his company is selling more to the US since Trump took charge. Both business owners where quite positive about Trump, none of the crap you read in the paper. As for Khan, I think the bloke is a massive embarrassment.
Depends on where you obtain your facts I guess..With regards to the claims regarding more jobs for African Americans....
''Trump is taking credit he doesn’t deserve for job growth, according to many economists who view the continued growth since the middle of 2009 as the primary explanation for the recent hiring. More important, there are multiple signs that the racial wealth gap is now worsening and the administration appears to have done little, if anything, to specifically address this challenge.
To identify a single indicator of employment as an indicator of economic health is, at best, incomplete,” said Darrick Hamilton, a professor of economics at the New School in New York City. “It is intentionally deceptive to focus only on that indicator.”
Government data show troubling economic disparities for black Americans:
— The median net worth of a black household is just $17,200, according to the Federal Reserve. The median net worth of a white household is 10 times higher. Back in 2004, the median net worth for whites was only seven times higher.
— The homeownership rate for black Americans has fallen since Trump became president to 41.6 percent, according to the Census Bureau. The gap between white homeownership and black homeownership is now the widest since 1995.
— Census figures show the average income for a black college graduate is $64,486, about $13,000 less than what a white college graduate earns.
— The average student debt for someone who is black is $32,047, almost double the average for someone who is white, according to a 2016 study by the Urban Institute.''

''According to the latest data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 708,000 more black Americans had jobs in July than in January 2017, the month Mr. Trump took office.
By contrast, the same data show, the economy added about three million jobs for black Americans between January 2009 and January 2017, during Mr. Obama’s presidency'
or
''Trump’s claims about the black unemployment rate are somewhat misleading. While it’s undeniable that the rate has hit a new low, it is also true that black unemployment began declining during the Obama administration and has been falling steadily for the past several years.
Trump hasn’t reversed those gains, but that doesn’t mean he can claim full credit for them either''
