Multibillionaire, former reality star and Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump met with a group of Black pastors to discuss his oft-controversial approach to addressing civil rights issues. One of the pastors is from Acadiana.

Pastor Scott said people in the meeting said they would pray a lot before they make an endorsement. Trump’s campaign “thought it was going to be a press conference for an endorsement when it wasn’t”, Scott said Sunday in an interview.
Trump flew to Georgia after meeting with dozens of black pastors in his Manhattan offices. “But I saw it on television, I saw clips, and so did many other people – and many people saw it in person”.
But there was no wide-ranging endorsement from the group, some of whom had said they were surprised when the gathering was advertised as such by Trump’s Republican presidential campaign. We had a wonderful time, a wonderful dialogue, wonderful fellowship, wonderful interaction. And Awad said Trump should be held “at least partly responsible” for an uptick in hostility toward Muslims in the US because of his anti-Muslim rhetoric. “Trump will host an informational meet and greet with many members of the Coalition of African American Ministers”, Trump’s press secretary Hope Hicks said in an email to reporters Sunday. He came to the meeting to call Trump on the racial slurs and so forth, and also the Black Lives Matter protester recently getting tossed from a Trump event.
If Trump truly wanted veteran organizations to have more funding and support, he should give it himself instead of holding people hostage for political gain.
Trump continued debating the pros and cons aloud.
Now, someone has found the TV news report that Trump probably was talking about.
Pastor James Davis, another pastor who attended, said he is supporting Trump.

“How about I tell CNN, who doesn’t treat me properly”. Trump said when he becomes president, America will be tougher because the country will have a better military.
