The pastor in Flint, Michigan, who interrupted Donald Trump as he ripped into Hillary Clinton on Wednesday "was like a nervous mess" as she introduced him, the Republican nominee said Thursday, adding that he "figured something was up."
"Well, I was in Flint yesterday and it was a very interesting experience and got unbelievably good treatment from people, I must say, and even in that audience, the treatment was great. But something was up because I noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me," Trump said in a telephone interview with "Fox & Friends," noting that the Bethel United Methodist Church pastor Faith Green-Timmons "was so nervous, she was shaking" when she introduced him for his speech.
In a Facebook post, Green-Timmons wrote before the appearance that Trump would not "use us," adding, "HE WILL NOT USE US, WE will EDUCATE HIM!!!"
"Some have suggested online that they were out to sabotage you by putting that up. When she says she was trying to educate you, the congregation when they are trying to educate you about what was going on in Flint?" co-host Steve Doocy asked Trump.
Trump recalled thinking that the situation was "sort of strange."
"And then she came up. So she had that in mind. No question about it," Trump said.

(17,199 posts)When Trump calls others weak or losers or nervous or shaky, he's PROJECTING.
He really is a POS.

(268,903 posts)One just repeated his comment that she was shaking and said come on Mr. Trump
He could not continue for more than 90 seconds - he was shaking. A black woman shut him the fuck up with cameras rolling. .

NOTE: I used t stutter. REALLY badly.... Although I have never been a woman, black OR in a wheel chair, except once when being wheeled out of the hospital after back surgery... I mean I was in a wheelchair.. I didn't mean to imply that I was black.. or a woman... oh never mind.

(1,907 posts)He was talking very slow, hesitant, and oddly soft spoken. Looking like he really was frightened all during the speech. He didn't have those adoring fans in front of him. One guy even started to walk off. It sounds like his normal rubber glue bit he pulls when he is insecure.

(3,867 posts)I didn't know anyone could shut the bellowing maggot up! He folded like a "baby".
She is almost his size, could probably knock some of the shit out of him.
I think the maggot's perception of her being nervous is like the security briefing people's body language, all in his small mind .
