750+ murders so far but what is really alarming is the increase in shootings and shooting victims

Trump has it covered...he said so |
1. The labor participation rate is near a 40-year low and has been under 63 percent now for 33 consecutive months. And instead of putting people back to work, under this president, the number of Americans dependent on government is surging. A near record $45 million Americans currently receive food stamps. That is an increase of 42 percent since January 2009.
2. As for poverty, the president talks about helping every American get ahead, but this again has not been the case. Since 2008, the poverty rate has shot up 17 percent. 46 million Americans now live in poverty, and the dream of owning your own home has been made a nightmare under Obama for many Americans. The rate of those who own a home has now dropped several percentage points. Now, we also saw record numbers of foreclosures during his presidency. 2011 was the worst year on record for home sales.
3. Under the president, our national debt has reached very dangerous levels. In January 2009, when he took office, it stood at $10.6 trillion. Well, it's over $21 trillion today, a 100 percent increase. By the time he leaves the White House, he will accumulate more debt than every other president before him combined. And because of this massive accumulation of debt, for the first time ever, America's credit rating was downgraded.
If that isn't enough *Hope and Change* fpr ya, and for good measure: mix in wide open boarders, unfettered access by the drug cartels to set up shop and get a huge number of theses completely forgotten, disaffected souls addicted to heroin.
Now keep scratching your head trying to figure it all out.
Then ignore it because you don't want to face the facts, and blame guns.
And then wonder why you lost the Presidency, The House, The Senate, the majority of State Governors, and the majority of State representatives to the Republicans.
Trump, at the very least, has the balls to identify the issues and work with inner city community leaders to find ways to give them a hand up off the floor.
What ever he does, it will be miles ahead of what the prince of Chicago has done for his fair city in his 8 full years as our chief executive - rest assured.
