‘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.

    Literally since day one.

    Remember the origin of “Alternative Facts?”. It was Kellyanne Conway on Meet the Press Sunday after Trumps inauguration. She was claiming that despite the rain, crowds were bigger than Obama’s, even though photos and transit statistics say otherwise.

    Really set the tone for the rest of the administration.

    Oh well. Ignorance is strength.
