President Donald Trump took a big step to help disenfranchised communities this week with an executive order.
The president signed an executive order Wednesday to bolster the already existent Opportunity Zones established via the GOP tax bill in 2017.
The intention is to direct resources to the already designated 8,700 Opportunity Zones; businesses in these districts will be subject to less restrictive regulations.
The mainstream media did not provide much coverage of the event that focused on Trump’s work to help minority communities. Unlike some of his executive orders, this one did not air on C-SPAN or on most of the cable news outlets.
Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” recognized the president’s accomplishment on Thursday night on her show.
“This means more private-sector money will flow into these high-risk areas and low-development areas,” she said.
“What will that do? In turn, that will deliver jobs.”
“Trump is delivering results for those Democrats who thought they had forever co-opted politically,” she later added. “It all smashes the press’ relentless drumbeat about how the president just doesn’t like black people.” – READ MORE
