his visit was to show the rubes he's not a racist


Over the last couple days Trump has taken his outreach efforts on the road. On Friday he met with community leaders in Philadelphia. On Saturday morning he'll visit a black church in Detroit.

But his trip has been mired in skepticism and controversy since it was announced last week, when the campaign and the church's pastor confirmed that the event was closed to the press, that Trump would not directly address congregants and that Bishop Wayne T. Jackson would conduct a closed-door interview with Trump that would air for at least a week later on the streaming television network founded by Jackson. Then on Thursday night the New York Times published a leaked list of scripted answers Trump was to give in response to Jackson's pre-approved questions.

Hours later the Trump campaign reversed course and said that the candidate would address the audience at Jackson's Great Faith Ministries International church for about 10 or 15 minutes.

Trump continues to fail in attempts to woo black voters

You make it as if black people are dirty where Trump doesn't go around them. Seems as if you're instigating stereotyping blacks to trigger racism.

He'll get the ones who want to work for a living. Granted, that's not very many.

Want to make enemies of many of the blacks, tell them to be possitive,lol. They thrive on victimhood. Give em something to feel bad about.

They want to be Patches, not Ben Carsons.

Black voters aren't stupid, Trump must think they are.
