Donald Trump has once again stirred the pot, and this time liberals are going to go insane. The GOP presidential candidate had a meeting with more than 100 black pastors on Monday, and Trump decided to hold a news conference about it. In fact, the news conference was scheduled to happen after the meeting in Trump Tower. However, the comments before the meeting — which was originally billed as an endorsement from the group of pastors — caused Trump to cancel the session with the media.
Many said that the pastors were only going to have a conversation with Trump, not endorse him, and therefore the campaign canceled the news conference. However, the meeting reportedly went very well, lasting about two-and-a-half hours.
Following the success, the campaign decided to have the conference after all, in which dozens of pastors packed into the narrow area to address the media, according to Newsmax.
“I don’t think we have backlash,” Trump responded. “I saw love in that room. I see love everywhere I go.”
One pastor agreed, stating that during the beginning of the conference some pastors in the room had concerns about the supposed “racial slurs and racial comments Trump has made” but quickly added that the issue “was addressed head-on.”
Trump also stated that he was not asked by anyone in that meeting to change his tone.
“The tone has taken me to first position in every single poll, including state and including national polls,” Trump said.
When Trump was asked if he had given a financial contribution to any of the churches his response was, “No, I haven’t. Zero.”
Michael Cohen, executive vice president of The Trump Organization, told CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” that there was a misunderstanding about the meeting’s purpose, between Scott and the campaign.
“What ended up happening was exactly what we were hoping was going to happen, many people endorsed Mr. Trump,” Cohen said. “Others left the meeting with a great feeling of love and a great feeling of mutual respect between the parties. And they are now going back to their respective churches to pray upon their decision.”
You can bet that liberals won’t be happy about that, either.
