Donald Trump Sits Down with Black Clergy for ‘Constructive’ Meeting
“But you can find, whenever it is that there’s poverty, wherever there’s poverty, you can always find a capitalist who will always exploit poor people who are privileged just to be in the room”. “I look forward to future meetings with the Coalition of African American Ministers”. A campaign press release said that a number of attendees were still expected to endorse Trump after their meeting, but that the event would be closed to the press.
The GOP front-runner – who until Monday had not devoted much energy to attacking Christie – said the governor had been “very weak” in his previous response to the scene Trump says he witnessed during 9/11.
Trump’s rally Monday evening featured the endorsement of black Georgia Republican Bruce LeVell, who has served as GOP chairman of Gwinett, a suburban Atlanta county. And Trump said he likely has the power to make that happen, given his popularity in the polls, large rally crowds and success on his former reality television show, “The Apprentice”.
He said in one specific report which was later proved to be true, owners of a sweet shop were celebrating and children from a nearby housing development “beat them up”. “He is the biggest racist since Bull Conner, and we believe Donald Trump should drop out the race”, said the Rev. Anthony Evans, NBCI’s president. Whether we like Trump or not, there is evidence that Muslims throughout America celebrated on September 11, 2001.
When Martin told him that the tax code is already set up like that, Parson’s response was “You said it. If that’s the way it is, then that’s the way it is”.
Trump never mentioned the importance of black homeownership and the pastors never brought it up? Trump said. “I don’t know if I want to take the chance”. Trump brought issues to the forefront that had been glossed over for years. “And we have many, many endorsements that came out of the meeting”. Among others, the Washington Post’s fact checker, Glenn Kessler, awarded Trump four Pinocchios, claiming that his assertion was “outrageous”.
