In a bid to soften his image, Trump makes a brief visit to a black Detroit church (ComPost alert)

DETROIT — Donald Trump made a brief visit Saturday morning to a black church in the heart of this majority-black city, the latest step in his faltering and often awkward effort to soften the edges of a candidacy hardened by racially tinged appeals that have resonated primarily with white Republicans.

In what the pastor said was Trump’s first visit to an African American church, the GOP presidential nominee swayed to gospel music, held a baby, accepted a prayer shawl and told the congregation he was there to listen to their concerns. Then he left the service before it was half over, and briefly visited the childhood home of former rival Ben Carson before jetting out of town.

“Our nation is too divided,” Trump said at Great Faith Ministries International Church, reading from a script to a congregation that half-filled the sanctuary but greeted him with polite applause. “We talk past each other, not to each other. And those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what’s going on. They don’t know. They have no clue.”

The more writers assigned to a story, the more lies it contains.

It’s a hell of a lot better than Clintoon’s “bid to soften her image”. Hiding in the closet with Huma and not talking to anyone. Just running out the clock. Clintoon is not only a thief, a crook and a liar, she’s also a yellow-bellied coward.

Those two POS co writers could not find a true story with a guide dog.

Trump would go to Milwaukee, but BLM is threatening to beat up every white man they can find in what is a totally non-racist/non-intolerant act.

Washington Post is apoplectic with fear.

If Hillary is leading why do they care what Trump did in Detroit?

The MSM is twisting themselves into pretzels trying to make it seem like nothing of consequence.

And yet they cannot not cover Trump.

Nice weasle words by the Post. They quote the pastor who made an inaccurate statement.
Trump was in Philly on Friday and I am pretty sure he visited an AME church.

BTW - Hillary was pimping herself out all weekend to the ultra-rich while Trump was working hard

Brief visit? Longer than most people on the WaPo ever spent in a black church or any church.

“Majority black city”

Kinda gives short shrift to the industrial model of the entire known world doesn’t it ? And what happened once the were in charge and worse when Obama wiped out the owners...

[Luke21]

And these two feminazis threw everything but their used tampons at Trump in this one. Pure snarling hatred.

Then he left the service before it was half over,

What a lame-brained observation! He had a schedule to keep. He had to visit his current project worksite so he could whip the blacks he had enslaved to build the skyscraper. Priorities, folks, priorities!

In a bid to avoid being jailed for lying under oath, Clinton hides from everyone but Huma.....

[MGG]

Was it as brief as Hillary’s visit to Louisiana?

[TChad]

The Washington Post, reminding us once again why it is called the ComPost.

Disgusting.

[boop]

Not to mention Trump was humbled and honored with the opportunity to speak at the church.

Hillary doesn't even bother to show up and patronize, using that asinine "dialect" that no black American uses.

Trump is speaking plainly, and not down to the parishioners.

Hillary is just popping up in all-white, exclusive enclaves and collecting huge amounts of $.

Since she takes the black vote for granted, no surprise about her snubbing the "little people" and their "little donations".

[Lisbon1940]

Trump doesn’t soften.
