Трамп заявил о своих заслугах перед афроамериканцами
Политические аллюзии на церемонии вручения премии «Оскар» от режиссера фильма о борье с расизмом не оставили равнодушным президента США Дональда Трампа.
В частности, Трамп прокомментировал призыв Спайка Ли сделать выбор «между любовью и ненавистью» и «встать на верную сторону истории» перед президентскими выборами 2020 года.
В отношении главы Белого дома не впервые звучат обвинения в расизме, и каждый раз он реагирует на них очень бурно. На этот раз Трамп заявил о своих многочисленных заслугах перед афроамериканцами, для которых якобы сделал больше, чем все другие президенты в истории США.
В число своих «заслуг» Трамп поставил реформу уголовного правосудия, самые низкие показатели безработицы в истории, снижение налогов и другие экономические «сдвиги».
«Было бы неплохо, если бы Спайк Ли мог прочитать свои записи, а еще лучше, если бы он вообще не использовал записи, нанося свой расистский удар по вашему президенту, который сделал для афроамериканцев больше, чем почти любой другой президент!» — написал он в Twitter.

Former chair of the Federal Reserve Opens a New Window. , Janet Yellen, said she doesn’t think President Trump Opens a New Window. understands economic policy, as the U.S. president remains highly critical of the central bank and its policies.
When asked during a radio interview whether she thought the president had a “grasp of macroeconomic policy,” Yellen responded that she did not.
“I doubt that he would even be able to say that the Fed's goals are maximum employment and price stability, which is the goals that Congress have assigned to the Fed,” Yellen said during the interview with “Marketplace.”
The former Fed chair added that some comments Trump has made – including about the Fed having an exchange rate objective to support his trade policies – show a “lack of understanding of the impact of the Fed on the economy.”
Further Yellen said his criticisms “concern” her because they could undermine confidence in the central bank.
Yellen, whose term ended about one year ago, was not reappointed by Trump. She was succeeded by Jerome Powell, who has found himself in the president’s crosshairs as well.
Trump has recently lashed out at Powell and the central bank for its interest rate normalization policy, telling Reuters in December that Powell was being “too aggressive” with interest rate hikes. In November, he told The Washington Post he was not happy with his selection of Powell, and that the Fed was a bigger problem than China. During an interview with FOX Business in October, the president said his “biggest threat” was the Fed.
