Pastor Darrell Scott, who has long been a fervent supporter of Donald Trump, met with the President at the White House Wednesday as part of a meeting for Black History Month, and used his opportunity at the table to reveal a piece of curious news to the Commander in Chief.
“I was contacted,” he said to the President, “by some of the top gang thugs in Chicago for a sit down. They reached out to me because they associated me with you. They respect you.”
“They believe in what you’re doing,” Scott continued, “and they want to have a sit down about lowering that body count.”
Wednesday’s meeting was spearheaded by executive Assistant Omarosa Manigault; Dr. Ben Carson was also in attendance, sitting to the left of President Trump.
“That’s a great idea, because Chicago is totally out of control,” Trump offered in response.
“They agreed that the principles that can do it — these are guys from the streets, no politicians, straight street guys — but they’re gonna commit that if they lower that body count, we’ll come in and we’ll do some social programs,” Pastor Scott continued Wednesday.
But Trump cautioned that while Scott’s efforts are “the right thing,” he has stood firm that his administration is prepared to take direct action. Last week, POTUS threatened federal intervention; following a segment on The O’Reilly Factor that touted the violent crimes statistics in the Windy City, Trump took to Twitter moments later:
“We’re gonna solve the problem for them,” Trump said in response Wednesday if the ‘top gang thugs,’ can’t do it themselves. “What’s happening in Chicago should not be happening in this country,” he continued.
Respect his authoritah!
This could be a total game changer!
Tell them the meeting will be in a sports arena ,then arrest them all
Those who opposed Trump must by now be recognizing the fact that they have never seen someone like this before.
Gang leaders actually extending an offer to the president to eliminate the killing in Chicago?
Each day, day after day, another jaw dropping moment created out of thin air by Donald Trump being, “The man!”
He’s tough, but fair. He wants a better nation.
This is so logical that Gang leaders want to sign on.
Granted they probably see the handwriting on the wall, but this is amazing.
I can do the Vulcan salute, but I could never do the "Bloods" gang hand sign. That's a lot of effort. (He's spelling out "Blood," that's so cute)
I have a hunch these ghetto thugs just want to see if Trump is going to give them some “free chit”!
Most of them need to be imprisioned, or at the very least, taken off the food stamp and other free chit rolls!
It’s probably just Black gangs wanting the Prez to get rid of the Mexican and South American gangs.
Thanks. Good one.
Looks like we’re on the right track.
Darrell Scott has been invaluable to DJT throughout the campaign.
this is actualy quite sane from the gangs standpoint, why not deal with POTUS first than slug it out on the streets?
LOL, now there you go.
I can see the last gang leader standing saying...
They came for the South American gangs and I said nothing.
They came for the Mexican gangs and I said nothing.
They came for the Crypts and I said nothing.
They came for other gangs and I said nothing.
Now they’re coming for my gang, and there’s nobody left to help us.
It’s an obvious twist to an old saying about the Holocaust.
I agree. It was motivated by Trump’s no nonsense approach to this though.
Doing the right thing without second guessing pays off.
Outstanding.
Whats Bernie, the camp clown?
