evidence: While Trump did set a record for the lowest African-American unemployemnt rate while in office, lower rates have been recorded since then. [...] He spoke on the strides his administration made in supporting black Americans. He said, "We achieved the lowest African American unemployment rate and the lowest African American poverty rate ever recorded, ever, ever recorded during my four years." The claim is misleading. Trump did set a record for lowest black unemployment at the time which was 5.3% in August 2019 and September 2019, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. There are credible news reports, such as CNBC News, that state that black unemployment hit a record low during the Trump administration.
