Trump says he'll meet with 'inner city pastors' amid racial controversies

Source: The Hill

President Trump said on Monday that he will meet with a group of “inner city pastors” amid a series of racial controversies he has stoked with his attacks on black lawmakers.

Trump tweeted the meeting, which was not previously on his schedule, will take place at 2 p.m.

He did not say which pastors would attend and the White House did not immediately provide further details.

is generally empty every day, there's usually no problem getting a "meeting" scheduled, but only if it benefits his bank account or aggrandizement. When your day starts at 11:00 AM and ends by 4:00 PM (including a two hour lunch), there isn't much time spent at "work" to begin with.

Fake meeting will create outrage --> distract from what he's doing, legal issues, impending news.

Don't fall for the outrage bait. What is he deflecting attention from today?

Inner city pastors? Is this his "black friend" play?

It provides his defenders with a talking point: not ALL black people hate his fucking guts. Then you quibble over percentages of black support, not his actions.

you know, the "gay people are putting semen in Starbucks lattes" guy. He's right up Trump's alley in terms of disgraceful lunacy and bigotry.
