Trump: Flint Pastor Who Interrupted My Remarks On Clinton Was Playing ‘Games’

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

Donald Trump suggested that the pastor who interrupted his Wednesday speech at a Flint, Michigan church did so intentionally to cast him in a poor light, saying “something was up.”

“When she got up to introduce me, she was so nervous, she was shaking,” Trump said of Rev. Faith Green Timmons during a Thursday morning phone interview on “Fox and Friends.” “And I said, ‘Wow, this is sort of strange.’ And then she came up. So she had that in mind. No question about it.”

Timmons cut in during Trump’s address, which mostly focused on the economy and the Flint water crisis, once he started speaking dismissively about Hillary Clinton.

"Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we've done for Flint, not give a political speech," she said. "Okay. That's good. And I'm going to go back onto Flint," Trump answered.

1. What a goddamned liar. I suppose, to him, "You're full of it!" would sound like

"Let him speak!" I'm sure that attacking a woman pastor will do wonders for his numbers in the African American community. I can see them soaring to .00002%.

What a vile POS.

[Arkansas Granny]

15. To paraphrase Donald, what the hell does he have to lose?

[SCVDem]

2. More 'expert' body language reading?

That would be the sheer desire to send him to the cornfield.

That's all tRump has, hate and derision speeches. Never a positive word of America.

Why would church goin' God fearin' people want to hear that?

Anyone smell sulfur?

[leftynyc]

3. No, Donnie

She was putting your ass in your place in HER house (that it came from a woman is what's chapping his ass).

[niyad]

22. an african american woman--that hard to hurt twice.

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. I'm sure she had in mind to stop him if he violated the agreements and protocols of the event

That's what responsible adults do with people who are behaving badly.

The media should take a lesson from the pastor.

They had agreed it would not be a political event and Trump violated that agreement, abusing this woman, the space, and the audience. She quite reasonably and politely asked him to stop. He sputtered and stuttered like a spoiled brat who has never been told to stop acting a fool.

[saltpoint]

5. It looked to me from the clips that Rev. Timmons

was behaving like a responsible adult.

Again and again we see Donald Trump, when he is criticized, accuse his accusers of character flaws.

[Siwsan]

6. Trump has become a professional victim

A pathetic, whining professional victim. Can't wait to see if the local noon news carries a response from the Pastor.

[ananda]

7. Great way to reach out to AA's, DumkopfDrumpf!

Not.

[GWC58]

8. Good gawd,

that freak of nature literally makes me want to up chuck!😰😱

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Code for "uppity black lady"

His asshole fans eat this up.

[unblock]

10. he is such a comically textbook illness.

of course, her nervousness couldn't possibly have anything to do with more media attention then she'll ever know in her entire lifetime, or having to interact with a major party presidential candidate, never mind one as controversial as trump.

no, she said something that trump didn't like, so her nervousness had to mean she was a mean person lying in wait to attack trump.

[Jade Fox]

11. What was interesting to me was how Trump seemed to cower like a little boy.....

when Rev. Timmons gently interupted his hate speech.

It's long been my opinion that Trump is terrifies of Black people.

[llmart]

38. I caught that also.....

but I thought of it more like a bully when someone strong finally confronts them about their behavior. He acted like a scared little boy, probably because he knew she could kick his ass from here to Sunday.

[C_U_L8R]

12. He started trashtalking... in a church !!

You don't go into a church and start lying and preaching hate to its congregation.
At least, you're not supposed to. Certainly doesn't seem very Christian.
Of course she shut him up - Trump was dishonoring... well, everybody.

She really should have grabbed Trump by the toupee and tossed him out the hell out.

[Kind of Blue]

21. +1000

[barbtries]

13. of course he could not let it go.

he is such an asshole, such an asshole!

[tanyev]

14. Well, somebody's definitely playing games.

But I don't think it's the formidable reverend.

[progree]

16. Video / audio of Trump on phone: "everyone plays their games" (referring to pastor)

and "a nervous mess"

17. Of course "she had that in her mind". Anyone could guess what Trump would do

Doesn't matter what agreement he made in advance not to give a political speech, Trump is Trump and Trump does what he wants. I would not feel calm about the prospect of having to cut short his "remarks" in front of cameras but she damn well knew there was a good chance that Trump would make her do it. She, obviously, was right to anticipate what happened.

[47of74]

18. No surprise there.

I figured Trumplethinskin would say something like that.

Have he or his groupies accused her yet of being in league with Satan?

[SCVDem]

19. Story on MSNBC now.

[displacedtexan]

20. He masks his hatred in paranoia.

Instead of admitting that he crossed the line, he claims the pastor must've planned to sabotage him. And, even with an NPR reporter/witness in attendance, Trump lies about audience enthusiasm for him to continue his attack on Clinton.

He plays his victim card every freaking time. We know she wasn't out to sabotage him; yet, he "read her body language" and just knew it was true.

[PatSeg]

23. He's so pathetic

[Runningdawg]

24. “When she got up to introduce me, she was so nervous, she was shaking,”

I do that when I want to slap someone and need to keep it in check. Nerves my ass.

[rtracey]

25. Trump is Stillson

Watch the movie "The Dead Zone"..tell me if Trump isn't another Stillson

[rtracey]

26. sorry didnt mean to respond to you.....

[sakabatou]

27. Oh, that's rich.

[Gothmog]

28. Trump is the one who was playing games

[madokie]

29. He's a dildo

a fucking dildo.
An ignorant ass to boot

[hamsterjill]

30. If what Trump says were true...

Why the heck didn't he confront her when the cameras were rolling? He's such a tough guy, after all. Gonna force Mexico to pay for the wall, gonna blow up Isis, yada, yada, yada. Yet, he defers to a pastor while in the church only to lambast her after the fact.

He's such a chicken shit. I mean, there is video of this that will prove what happened, and Trump still tells lies the next day. How on earth can anyone believe anything that comes out of his mouth?

[truthisfreedom]

31. He obviously isn't going for the black vote, with that behavior. His whole point is to paint blacks

in a bad light so that he can continue to push swing voters over the fence into racism.

If he can't get black voters, all he can do is create more racists.

[Paladin]

32. Trump plays to his white supremacist base, yet again.

[tavernier]

33. However, she did not introduce him!!!

But then again, those colored folk all look alike to him.

[truthisfreedom]

35. Is there video proof of this???

Because that would completely destroy his narrative and expose him for what he is.

[tavernier]

36. I either read this today on DU

or heard it on CNN. I'll try to find it.

[tavernier]

37. Godhumor's OP

has a video in the content.


Pastor Faith responds to Trump

“The United Methodist Church has open hearts, open doors and open minds. Mr. Trump's campaign claimed he was swinging by and stepping through only to greet the volunteers and thank them with no political rhetoric of any kind,” she wrote in a brief statement on her church’s Facebook page. “That was stated. When it went further than that I did exactly what we agreed I would do.”

“Had he stuck to what his camp claimed he came to do, we would not have had a problem! - Good night,” she posted on her personal page.

Oh please, please, please keep coming back to this well, Donnie. Ignore your handlers and let yourself go!

Sorry, I can't link on this phone but the video is on that thread.

[truthisfreedom]

40. HERE IT IS. PROOF THAT HE WAS NOT INTRODUCED BY THAT PASTOR.

Proof that he was introduced by someone completely different. A man. How could she be nervous when she introduced him, when he was introduced by someone else?

[tavernier]

41. Thanks for posting it for me.

Dang phone.

[spiderpig]

34. Little Donnie Pisspants is NEVER wrong!

The nerve of an AA woman to curb him from spewing hatred in her church!

I should give up thinking he can't make me loathe him any more than I do, but he keeps proving me wrong

He's a disgrace to humanity.

[SunSeeker]

39. The only one who looked "nervous" in the preacher encounter was Trump.

All that stammering: "Oh. Oh oh. Okay. That's good. And I'm going to go back onto Flint...[flashes weird nervous smile]."

[wheniwasincongress]

42. He probably thinks she was "nervous and shaking" because she was so in awe of such an unbelievable

human being like Trump!
