Donald Trump meets with African-American pastors after controversy
“The meeting went so much longer, and it went longer only because of the love”.
“I thought it was an unbelievable meeting”.
He previously said he would charge $10 million, to go to charities, for the September 16 debate. “He listened to us and you know, I think Donald Trump is a very good listener”.
Donald Trump met privately on Monday with black pastors and religious figures at Trump Tower in Manhattan, trying to confront skepticism about his candidacy and project sensitivity about minority concerns. “If thousands of people were demonstrating and he saw it on television, then there must be some tape of it somewhere”.
Despite fact checkers and journalists claiming that Trump made up these celebrations, Trump continues to insist that they happened. Instead it was scaled back to a private meeting. “It was unbelievable. The love they have for the people that they represent and people [in general] was incredible”, recalled Trump.
An upbeat Donald Trump swept out of a closed-door meeting with African-American ministers Monday, claiming he had secured endorsements from the group and appearing confident that he would win the GOP nomination.
The president of a New Jersey police union that represents almost 33,000 officers lashed out against Christie Monday night after the governor called him a “pension pig”.
But there was no wide-ranging endorsement from the group, some of whom had said they were surprised when the gathering was advertised as such by Trump’s Republican presidential campaign.
Bishop Corletta Vaughn, Senior Pastor of The Holy Ghost Cathedral, for instance, said she has no plan of supporting Trump. The other day he said it like, well, he doesn’t know, and now I guess he feels a little bit emboldened.
“We need to take care of us, we need real healthcare, Obamacare is a disaster”, Trump said. Trump said after the incident, “Maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing”. Recently, Trump gained the endorsement of a black pastor who is challenging the media’s apparent claims that minorities are automatically anti-Trump.
