Trump to play it safe when he visits black Detroit church

Posted by | August 31, 2016 16:05 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


He won’t address a black audience, as was suggested. Rather, he’ll attend a church service and then be interviewed by the pastor one-on-one.

When Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump comes to Detroit this weekend to try to strengthen his standing in the African-American community, he will be attending a service at a church and doing a one-on-one interview with the congregation’s leader, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson.

That’s about it.

Trump won’t be speaking to the black congregation at Great Faith Ministries International  during the 11 a.m. service. And his Saturday interview with Jackson on the church’s Impact Network — which will not be open to the public or the news media — won’t air for at least a week after the event.

    He is making a joke of this entire thing. First it’s Labor Day Weekend. Second he’s not making a speech in front of the AfAm Community like the ones he has been making for weeks now about AfAm’s in front of predominately White audiences. Third It will not be open to the public, the interview i mean, and therefore how do we know his answers are not rehearsed. It’s a sham and this pastor should be ashamed of allowing his church be used in this manner.

      You took the words… And I especially want to bitch slap this “reverend” for agreeing to even entertain the idea of a closed door meeting. It’s as if he doesn’t know who or what tRump is about. He will leave this meeting hit Twitter with a boat load of lies about how this “pastor” is very supportive of him and whatever else he decides to spew as fact and shines favor on him, when the complete opposite is true! And this “pastor” does not have the same mechanism that tRump has. He won’t be able to call into fox lies and argue they should allow him to make the record clear that he didn’t tell tRump he would support him. And furthermore, tRump is a massive racist pos, who doesn’t know how to talk to black people, only at them or about them. He’s not making a speech because that would mean to civilly engage with the same people he tells his white crowds to attack. Fk him and that rat bastard “pastor!”

        He’s being very non-committal about the whole thing on his FB page; merely replying with pre-written answers.

        • whatthe46 August 31st, 2016 at 17:45

          Who this “bishop?”

          • Hirightnow August 31st, 2016 at 21:30

            Yup.
            Nothing but canned responses, and rather mealy-mouthed ones, IMO.
            I understand the teachings of the New Testament, and some of them are worth abiding, but the whole “giving him a chance” spiel is like saying “Let’s let the rabid wolverine have his say, instead of immediately trying to destroy it” when it comes to Trump.
            My two cents, redeemable for face value at any local bank or comic book emporium.

                    At this point, I hardly need to look at the keyboard, because I do it so often.
                    (I speak with emphasis and nuance, so I like to type that way. Only, ALL CAPS IS ANNOYING, so when I learned years ago that some HTML tags aren’t just for building a web page, I latched on to it. )

                      awesome.

                      You might look into it; there are oodles of places you can get free web hosting, and almost as many programs to help you write such a page. When you compose such a site, then look at the code that your browser (and the server) actually see, you learn a lot.
                      I eagerly await “whatthe46.org”…

                      I’ll have to look at it when I get home from work. I’ve been a bad girl. I’m take a break and when I get back into the office I’ll still be posting on the sly.

              Thanks for that link..
              I used it to ask Apostle Wayne T. Jackson….
              How much of a cash donation he was going to get from trump for using his ministry as a political prop..

      • Gary Parillo August 31st, 2016 at 19:26

        Well said.He does’nt know how to “talk to” the black population, only “about them,or at them!” He’s phony,he knows he is, and he knows they know he is,so he uses avoidance technics.

      • DetroitSam August 31st, 2016 at 21:39

        I wonder if the pastor has been given a list of questions he has to ask Trump? I’m betting that is the case.

        • whatthe46 August 31st, 2016 at 22:06

          in all honesty, i wouldn’t give a rats ass if they did give me prep questions. i mean seriously, as if asking him questions designed specifically for him means he won’t lie. he cares as much about the truth as lucifer for Jesus. this bishop, pastor, reverend is a stupid fool.

          • The Original Just Me September 1st, 2016 at 12:48

            A bought and Paid for Fool.

      • The Original Just Me September 1st, 2016 at 12:47

        Why is it that every time, Trump talks TO the Black Folks, it is always in front of a White Audience ?

        • whatthe46 September 1st, 2016 at 13:40

          cause he really has nothing to say to them.

          • The Original Just Me September 1st, 2016 at 13:43

            Nothing to say and a “YUGE” amount of Noise to make. :+)

          • Hirightnow September 1st, 2016 at 13:55

            It is none of my business, and forgive me for asking, but are your initials “KS”? (Asking because of something on another site which I sometimes comment on).
            Don’t answer if you feel this is too personal.

            • whatthe46 September 1st, 2016 at 14:32

              SD

              • Hirightnow September 1st, 2016 at 14:41

                Okay, There was a reply on the FB post I commented on from a “KS” (those are just the initials), and it kinda sounded like something you
                might post.My mistake.

                • whatthe46 September 1st, 2016 at 15:05

                  Oh ok. I don’t remember the last time was on FB. I I don’t really post except to tell someone thanks for wishing me H.Bday.

    • The Original Just Me September 1st, 2016 at 12:44

      It’s probably about a”YUGE” cash donation being handed directly to Trump. No receipt required. Check to see if he is carrying anything when he leaves.

      • StoneyCurtisll September 1st, 2016 at 13:57

        I was thinking the ‘cash donation” was coming from Trump to the church for using them as a photo-op prop..(if ya get my drift)

  2. The Original Just Me September 1st, 2016 at 12:41

    First, have the Recuse Team standing by. Any Church is liable to fall down and crumble if Trump walks in. Then, IS Trump really going into a Black Neighborhood ? Didn’t he say he didn’t feel Safe in those places ?

  3. amersham1046 September 1st, 2016 at 22:21

    It will be held just down the street, in Windsor Ontario

    • whatthe46 September 1st, 2016 at 22:49

      every time i read the headline, i get more and more angry with this p.o.s. and i’m not talking about the orange p.o.s. but the Mexican pres that allowed that meeting to happen was stupid and was being used. and this “bishop” is allowing him to also be used. tRump can’t stand minorities especially those of brown skin. when he was talking about shooting someone in broad day light and still get votes, he wasn’t referring to white people, he was referring to people of color or a certain religion. if JESUS CHRIST came before me and said listen to what he has to say, i rather DIE!

    And the Q&A is scripted, oops!
