President Donald Trump and a pro-Trump pastor are working on a plan for rejuvenating black America and crumbling urban communities.

The plan was also co-conceived by Trump’s personal lawyer who recently admitted to facilitating a six-figure payment to buy the silence of a porn star, with whom Trump allegedly had an affair behind Melania’s back.

Like Omarosa Manigault. Darrell C. Scott does not represent African Americans and other people of color.

African American organizations and journalists have found Scott to be a detractor of civil rights.
