After suffering a public humiliation at the hands of a black woman, Donald Trump chose to start his Thursday by attacking a Christian pastor on Fox News. He told the hosts “something was up”. “Everyone plays their games”, Trump responded. Even the mayor discouraged Trump from visiting the plant.
Timmons said the church is an “open church” and all are invited to partake. “I noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me”.
“His latest target is a pastor from Flint, Michigan, who respectfully asked him not to use her pulpit for political attacks”, Clinton said. “I’ll tell you what really made me feel good, the audience was saying, ‘Let him speak, let him speak'”.
Scott Detrow, an NPR reporter who was at the event, says no one in the audience chanted “let him speak” as Trump claimed.
The Republican spoke on Fox and Friends on Thursday morning and stated, “She was so nervous, she was shaking”.
The pointed questions for Trump continued as Trump wrapped up his remarks, though – and that’s the moment when the press traveling with Trump was hastily escorted out of the room. His whole speech didn’t last longer than 6 minutes.
According to Reuters, Trump had begun attacking his presidential rival for supporting free trade agreements, which he suggested caused Flint economic difficulty. “The crime rate over there is ridiculous”, he said.
“You’re living in your poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58 percent of your youth is unemployed – what the hell do you have to lose?” I’m going to fix it.
“No, I never would, never would”, Trump replied.
We all remember when President Obama visited “Little Miss Flint”, aka Amariyanna Copney and collectively made our hearts crumble into a million little pieces – well, Miss Copney got to meet with “another toxic orange-ish mess” today and.well, you see the picture.

When Donald Trump met local girl Amariyanna Copeny in Flint, Michigan, he probably didn’t expect the internet to go insane over the pictures – but the little girl’s reaction to seeing the presidential candidate has caused quite a stir, particularly when compared to meeting President Obama back in May.
