"Leaked Script Shows What Advisers Want Donald Trump to Say at Black Church"

His team is leaving nothing to chance.

Instead of speaking to the congregation at Great Faith Ministries International, Mr. Trump will be interviewed by its pastor in a session that will be closed to the public and news media, with questions submitted in advance. And instead of letting Mr. Trump be his freewheeling self, his campaign has prepared lengthy answers for the submitted questions, consulting black Republicans to make sure he says the right things.

@ZekeJMiller @nytimes OMG! Trump's campaign gave Pastor who will interview Trump on Saturday the questions to ask him with scripted answers!

@cflores178250
@ZekeJMiller Tang has to be prepped...to speak with a pastor...at an African American church. 🙄 If he had a pair he would address the whole assembly!

He's such a fraud!

This really IS Reality TV to Trump isn't it. Does he know the difference anymore?

Somebody in the campaign isn't too happy though. Obviously this is a leak designed to stop this madness from happening.

Oh, just another free Trump ad on prime time news?
Imagine that.
What is he up to in free advertising now? About 5 billion?

He should call this off now. If it goes on as scheduled, at least we all know they're in damage control even before it takes place. I wouldn't want these buffoons to manage s fast food restaurant much less a country.

They're being used and manipulated by both Trump and the pastor.
That bullshit should not stand.

Either way his bigger problem is he lacks credibility with most black people.
