‘Everything is a scam!’ Trump ridiculed after pics of Black church event show white crowd - eviltoast

Donald Trump was ridiculed Saturday after attending what his campaign called a Black roundtable at a Detroit church — with photos showing a largely white audience.

Trump’s campaign reached out to the 180 Church to set up the event at which attendees asked a handful of questions before bursting into a rendition of Happy Birthday.

The evangelical church is in the heart of Detroit’s west side and has a mainly Black congregation.

But photos caught by the media, and shared widely online, showed a lot of white people in the audience.

      Honestly, sincerely… I don’t even know the jackass who would put this article together and take a picture of a specific part of the room and make it a big deal. I have to assume they’re White, they hate Whites, and vote for Biden. Seriously the literal article in of itself is pointless.

        There are several photos floating around from different angles, whites dominant. Just do a search.

        The alternative that you are seemingly trying to avoid is that the Trump organisation is terrible at staging.

          Or that when Trump fans hear that he’s coming to town… they’re quick to flock to see him. Hey at least you’re not claiming, “cultural appropriation”. Right?

            In a way, he is. He’s now claiming that black people will relate to him now as he is a fellow victim of systemic judicial persecution.

        I have to assume they’re White, they hate Whites, and vote for Biden

        I have to assume Biden is popular with whites and blacks and everybody who doesn’t make asinine assumptions and is not racist and/or neofascist and doesn’t want to vote for a Certified Sex Offender and Convicted Felon
