I have heard Trump say many times

he has done more for blacks than anyone since Lincoln.
Just curious what is the basis for that claim? I can't think of anything.

It's an unfalsifiable claim.

These are useful when you don't have any actual measurable achievements to brag about.

His claims about doing a great job on the pandemic response aren't quite as unfalsifiable. There's this little problem of data from Johns Hopkins coming out every day. Even grading on a curve it doesn't look good.

Yeah, ok, he fired her. But, before that, he gave her a job.

Did FDR give Omarosa a job? No.

Did LBJ give Omarosa a job? No.

But Donald did.
