who interrupted Chump's address to her church group as he veered off topic. During his 2016 campaign, he had been invited to discuss the Flint water crisis, but then started criticizing Hillary Clinton instead. She set him straight with class and expediency! Apparently he felt humiliated and sabotaged, which makes it all the better. Somehow, I had never seen this before, but post it here for your edification. Enjoy!

Donald Trump appeared rattled after his address Wednesday at a Flint, Michigan, church was interrupted by its black pastor, who asked him to get back on topic and “not give a political speech” after he strayed from talking about the city’s water crisis and began criticizing Hillary Clinton. The Republican nominee returned to the topic of Flint for about 90 seconds before leaving the stage; an embarrassing spectacle that Trump quickly avenged by savaging Reverend Faith Green Timmons in TV interviews as a “nervous mess.”

Clearly, “something was up,” Trump told Fox and Friends on Thursday, when Timmons introduced the real-estate billionaire during his two-hour visit with the church, part of his recent attempt to win over black voters. “When she got up to introduce me, she was so nervous, she was shaking,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘Wow, this is sort of strange.’ And then she came up. So she had that in mind. No question about it.”


Don has seemed a little "off" this week, and I'm wondering if its meds. He's been stumbling over his words and doesn't seem his usual succinct self. Last night, the camera was focused on his guest as he was speaking, and there was a very audible sneeze in the background, presumably from Don. His "resting face" is a little forlorn also. Hope he's OK.
