    Just heard a commentator on MSNBC remind the audience that even if Mr. Trump gets some acknowledgement for having come to a black church, that community understands COMPLETELY that they are being used as a photo op and nothing else.

    Also saw a great sign carried by protestors outside. It read
    “What do you have to lose?” from Donald Trump
    “Everything!” response by the Black Community

  4. Will Pastor Jackson still have his job after today? Or are there enough republicans in the congregation to let him keep his job?

  5. “I just wrote this the other day”

    Nothing is more sad than when we sideline young black men with wonderful agendas.
    This is just his usual stump speech, right?!

    Who the hell wrote this? Kellyanne? It’s a boilerplate speech, which isn’t bad on its own, but it doesn’t sound at ALL like Trump.

    “the bonds of faith which make our nation strong”??
    Come on, he’s giving the SNL team heart attacks of anticipatory excitement.
    I would say this is the worst Trump speech I’ve ever seen.
    I’d like to conclude with First John 4.
