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.

    Taking your point seriously, are you suggesting that Blacks would do better under Trump and the GOP? I mean, they just spent the last 3.5 years blocking each and every Dem initiative?

    The Republicans shove a stick in the spokes and when the bike crashes they blame the Dems?

    I’m not even American, so have no skin in the game, but the American Kabuki theatre is open for anyone to watch. Plus, it’s way better than Netflix.

      They literally did better under Trump. Literally.

      And I agree with you, our government is full of idiots. I hate both sides. Just recently America learned that Republicans, at least, and more than likely the Democrats too, have AIPAC/Israeli handlers whispering into their ears. Essentially the U.S. has been hijacked the way I see it. We need leaders like Bukele. I support the idea of investigating every single member of government (local/state/federal) for corruption.

          Yeah it’s interesting. It seems like if you disagree, you’re automatically the opposition. When in reality their opposition is really no different than them, they’re just rooting for the other team. Me and others like me are sitting here like, “wtf??”

            Funny how everyone that’s “both sides” defends everything Trump does.

            As to your link,

        Im not sure if you realized the source you posted has a disclaimer: “[APP NOTE: Like all “Campaign Press Releases” this document was entirely the product of a partisan political campaign. It is archived at the APP as part of the record of campaign communications. The APP has not assessed the accuracy of any claims made here either pro or con.]”

        Since this release came from Trump, it shouldn’t be used to add validity to Trumps claims about helping African Americans, right?
