Trump Cancels Press Event Announcing Endorsement By Black Pastors After They
“He’s smart”, Bush replied. “That’s his strategy – to dominate the news”. Trump’s popularity has grown as he has given voice to a widespread working-class and middle-class frustration that doesn’t always get picked up easily by pollsters. “I have hundreds of people that agree with me”.
The billionaire presidential candidate has been riding atop the Republican primary polls for four months.
In a phone interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Trump said he was getting an “unbelievable response” from “hundreds” of people who told him they also saw televised Muslim celebrations of the September 11, 2001, attacks in Manhattan.
Trump hasn’t yet produced evidence of dancing Muslims, but he told “Meet the Press” that “we’re looking for other articles and we’re looking for other clips and I wouldn’t be surprised if we found them…”
Being outrageous is a key ingredient.
Still, Trump stood by his comments today: “I saw it. So many people saw it…” There are singers in the world with voices as good as Frank Sinatra’s, but they’re singing in their garages because no one has ever heard of them.
Fox News are now reporting that 52 percent of Americans favor deporting illegal immigrants back to their home countries, and that a large number of voters from both sides of the political spectrum support Trump’s plan. “What I think happened is a lot of pressure was put on them”. It’s in the nature of the job, and I understand that.
Trump boasts that the book is the No. 1 selling business book of all time. All of them were Trump supporters and ready to endorse. There has to be, though, individuals in that space, other than the politico’s pulpiteers, who hear the voice of God with clarity. Obama has asked to allow in 10,000 refugees, as the nonpartisan Factcheck.org has noted. “He was very weak the other day”, Trump said Monday in response to Christie’s comments.
Maybe the faith leaders who laid hands on Mr. Trump, and the OH pastor who organized tomorrow’s telecast with the black clergy, know something the rest of us doesn’t. This election cycle, Trump isn’t the only one going after the black evangelical demographic: His opponent Ben Carson is seeking 13 percent, or double of Mitt Romney’s share, of the black vote to beat Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Trump cancelled a planned press event where a coalition of black pastors and religious leaders were supposed to endorse him, with a group of black leaders opposing the event and some of the attendees claimed they never promised an endorsement.
In any case, the Sunday shows were once again dominated by the Donald.
Fact-checkers have debunked Trump’s claim.
“You demand and you’ve demanded of me pinpoint accuracy when we report on things about you … why shouldn’t we demand the same pinpoint accuracy in the claims that you make?”
