It's very easy to say that somebody would be better for the poor when he/she has never been President and you have no statistics to back up your claim. That would have been like me claiming that Trump would have been better for the poor than Obama before Trump became President. There is no way to prove that and yours is strictly opinion and nothing more. Below is a sample of what has happened with poverty while Trump has been in office. This is directly off of the census.gov site. If anybody says this data is skewed to favor Trump better admit that it is skewed for all other admins or they are full of crap.
Poverty: https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2019/demo/p60-266.html
The official poverty rate in 2018 was 11.8 percent, down 0.5 percentage points from 12.3 percent in 2017. This is the fourth consecutive annual decline in poverty. Since 2014, the poverty rate has fallen 3.0 percentage points, from 14.8 percent to 11.8 percent.
In 2018, for the first time in 11 years, the official poverty rate was significantly lower than 2007, the year before the most recent recession.
In 2018, there were 38.1 million people in poverty, approximately 1.4 million fewer people than 2017.
Between 2017 and 2018, poverty rates for children under age 18 decreased 1.2 percentage points from 17.4 percent to 16.2 percent. Poverty rates decreased 0.4 percentage points for adults aged 18 to 64, from 11.1 percent to 10.7 percent. The poverty rate for those aged 65 and older (9.7 percent) was not statistically different from 2017.
From 2017 to 2018, the poverty rate decreased for non-Hispanic Whites; females; native-born people; people living in the Northeast, Midwest, and West; people living inside metropolitan statistical areas and principal cities; people without a disability; those with some college education; people in families; and people in female householder families.
Between 2017 and 2018, people aged 25 and older without a high school diploma was the only examined group to experience an increase in their poverty rate. Among this group, the poverty rate increased 1.4 percentage points, to 25.9 percent, but the number in poverty was not statistically different from 2017.
