Leaked Script Shows What Advisers Want Donald Trump to Say at Black ChurchBy YAMICHE ALCINDOR at the NY Times

"SNIP............
To a question submitted by Bishop Jackson about whether his campaign is racist, the script suggests that Mr. Trump avoid repeating the word, and instead speak about improving education and getting people off welfare and back to work. The proof, as they say, will be in the pudding, Mr. Trump is advised to say. Coming into a community is meaningless unless we offer an alternative to the horrible progressive agenda that has perpetuated a permanent underclass in America.
To the first question, Are you a Christian and do you believe the Bible is an inspired word of God? the scriptwriters have a response they hope will keep Mr. Trump from repeating previous stumbles when asked about his faith.
As I went through my life, things got busy with business, but my family kept me grounded to the truth and the word of God, the script has Mr. Trump saying. I treasure my relationship with my family, and through them, I have a strong faith enriched by an ever-wonderful God.
Bishop Jackson said on Thursday that he did not know about any preparations the Trump campaign was making. He said he saw no problem with the campaign asking to screen his questions, and noted that in the past he had given advance text of prayers he planned to deliver at the White House.

Trump is all about dominating the news cycle.
It worked a charm in the primaries, and is getting more dangerous now.
Clinton campaign better start fighting back for oxygen.

(1,997 posts)4. Why would a black church give so many concessions to his campaign?
It makes no sense that "several Trump aides would be working with the network to edit the taped interview so that the final version reflected the campaigns wishes." Why on earth present him in a good light? Particularly since he has made so many racist comments, it's not like they owe him any favors.

As I went through my life, things got busy with business, but my family kept me grounded to the truth and the word of God, the script has Mr. Trump saying. I treasure my relationship with my family, and through them, I have a strong faith enriched by an ever-wonderful God.
Has anyone been able to prove that this clown has even gone to a church? He has committed adultery, bragged about all the women he has slept with, conned people out of their money, evicted people from their homes, his dad was a member of the KKK, he blocked African Americans from his rentals, and I could go on and on. This man has no relationship with God, Satan maybe, but not God. He his a con man and I highly doubt if anyone but his brain dead base would fall for this kind to bullshit.
