Trump Plans to Bring Outreach to Black Audience in Detroit

Trump will visit the Great Faith Ministries on Saturday in Detroit, a predominantly black church located in the heart of the city, said Pastor Mark Burns, a Trump supporter who arranged a meeting between the Republican presidential nominee and the church’s leader, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.

Trump will "give an address to outline policies that will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in our country," Burns, who is black, said in a statement. "I see, as I have seen, the heart and compassion Mr. Trump has for all Americans, which includes minority communities whose votes have been for granted for far too long."

The Republican presidential candidate will speak about education, unemployment and safety, Burns said in a campaign statement Sunday night.

Jackson said Trump will have an opportunity to outline his policies in front of the congregation during the on-air interview.

"We hope this invitation to both candidates will result in an opportunity to get clarity on some of the issues that have a particular impact on our community," Jackson said. "The 2016 Presidential election is a determining factor on the direction of our country and we want to make sure we are providing an opportunity for an informed electorate to make the best decision possible."

"Media outlets throughout the country are seeking to get access to the presidential candidates, and we have been afforded that opportunity with Mr. Trump and hopeful that we will get to interview Mrs. Clinton as well," Jackson said in a statement. "The goal for this interview is to get real answers and Trump’s views and plans on policies that affect our community."

Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News Sunday morning that Trump planned meetings in inner city churches throughout the rest of the campaign.

"We're fighting for every single vote. We're going to leave it all on the field. And that includes going where the voters are and taking the case directly to them in their churches," she said.

The visit comes as Trump has been trying to attract black voters with a blunt question: "What in the hell do you have to lose," by voting for him. He's repeated the message at rallies in Michigan and around the country in the last week.

I guess Trump is going to read to them from his favorite book, the Bible. Maybe he will read to them from Two Corinthians.
