It Turns Out Trump Isn’t Speaking To Black Churchgoers In Detroit

[CarlosAndSveta 808]

Are you surprised?

Big buzz garnered this week around news that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would be delivering his first speech before congregants at a black church in Detroit, Michigan.

It turns out, it was all a farce.

Trump’s campaign announced the event on Monday claiming that the candidate would attend Great Faith Ministries to address churchgoers to “outline policies that will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in our country” and answer questions “that are relevant to the African-American community,” according to a statement from Trump surrogate Pastor Mark Burns.

Instead, according to the Detroit Free Press, Trump’s appearance will only include a one-on-one interview with the church’s pastor Bishop Wayne T. Jackson. The interview, which will be conducted on the church’s Impact Network, won’t air to the public until at least one week after it’s taped.

“He’ll be here Saturday. He’s going to sit in service and have the experience in the black church, and then he and I will be in this office and do an interview for the Impact Network that will be aired later on,” Jackson told the paper. “Just like any visitor, there will be fellowship at the service, and he can talk to people one-on-one.”

I wonder why he is afraid to talk directly to the congregation?

What?? He doesn't want to stand in front of an all black congregation and tell them to get off of the Democratic plantation and ask what do they have to lose?

Why one week later to get a copy of the interview. Why not do it live?

clearly trump doesn't care about black people, he said himself black people can't walk through their neighborhoods without getting shot..is he going to personally shuttle all these people to church so they arrive safely? will he provide them armored cars and vests?
