Trump goes to a Black congregation at 180 Church to greet out of town lawmakers, former Detroit police chief James Craig, Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo, Peezy and a lot of white supporters.
Anyone who believes a convicted felon is suitable to run U.S. president is a goddamn fool.
Republicans and the far right complained when the president and vice president visit Black churches and events.
The far right mock the president when he doesn't dance to Black gospel and soul music.
When the former president goes to a remotely Black or Latino event, the junk food media covers it and the far right exploits it like its the biggest thing he's done in his pathetic 78 years on this planet.
Bernice King and Martin Luther King III continue to tell Republicans that their father's legacy is not equal to their agenda. They kindly ask them to stop using their father's name in their political affairs. The Republicans ignore them.
When the far right claims that the president and vice president never visit a Black church, I keep reminding myself that Raphael Warnock is a senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the church Martin Luther King, Jr. served. Warnock is a U.S. Senator and have invited the president, vice president and former president to the church. The president and vice president have attended.
Black men are more inclined to support former president Donald J. Trump because of the perception of an unfair justice system. Instead of talking about how he used his white privilege to delay his criminal trials, he managed to swindle Americans with shoes, NFT cards, signed bibles, phony $2 dollar bills and mugshot t-shirts.
Trump goes to a church in Michigan and the far right calls it a monumental event for the former president and Black voters. Yet in some pictures and videos, you barely see many Black churchgoers. Rep. John James (R-MI), Ben Carson, rappers Icewear Vezzo, Pezzy and Sada Baby, former Detroit Metro Police chief James Craig Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) were in Detroit.
All three of them were outside their district. Craig was ousted from the Metro Police because he is incompetent like he was in police chief in Cincinnati. Carson served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 until 2021. He is a former neurosurgeon who became famous for his trolling towards former president Barack Obama during the National Prayer Breakfast.
There were mass shootings in Michigan. When they don't describe the identity or put a narrative of the shooting, the shooter is likely a white man.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and members of the Michigan U.S. Representative delegation were notified of a mass shooting in Rochester Hills.

On June 15, 2024, 8-10 people were shot in Rochester Hills, Michigan, including children. An 8-year-old boy is in critical condition from the shooting. The shooter committed suicide at their home and his identity has not yet been released to the public. He is described as a 42-year-old White man.
There was another mass shooting in Southfield.
Turning Point Action was in Detroit doing its annual "America (and Israel) First" convention.
Trump spoke about a myriad of topics in a speech that lasted around 20 minutes, including subjects he’s repeatedly addressed in his campaign, like inflation, Biden’s handling of the U.S. southern border with Mexico and his general opposition to an embrace of electric vehicles. Following the speech, a 20-minute roundtable discussion with small business owners and other community members moderated by U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., took place.
But in a city he only received 5% of the vote in four years ago, he also pitched himself as a better choice for Black voters than Biden, telling a diverse crowd he would crack down on crime, improve the country’s economic outlook and in general, do more for Black Americans than Biden has.
Rev. Lorenzo Sewell invited Trump and Republicans to his church. Trump did not offer much other than a word vomit of attacks against Biden.
Here is what the Trump audience really looked like at a black church in Detroit. pic.twitter.com/xIvggO0KKS
No one was planning to attend so the Michigan Conservative Coalition got the word out online. They needed people at the Trump Black Church event in Detroit. It would have been easier to count the black people in attendance. It's all fake. pic.twitter.com/JpEIlnR4N0
Trump rented a black church majority filled with white folks. That should tell you something. Don't mistake a small percentage of blacks that support a racist criminal, for the majority of blacks that don't fuck with trump period. We do not want more police for sure. pic.twitter.com/pbkYvsG9JP
This is amazing. First she was just a local girl in Atlanta and now she’s a member of a black church in Detroit. What an amazing turn of events!! https://t.co/lCPwGSodFV
“I knew I should be here,” Trump said as he greeted the crowd. “I’m honored to be in Detroit.”
Trump said crime, particularly in neighborhoods like the west side one he visited Saturday, would decrease if he returned to the White House. Data recently released by the FBI shows violent crime decreased in the U.S. in 2021 and 2022, after reaching higher levels in 2020. In Michigan, violent crime increased from 2020 to 2021, but decreased below those years in 2022, the data shows.
“The crime is most rampant right here and in African American communities,” he said. “More people see me, and they say, ‘Sir, we want protection, we want the police to protect us.'”
The whole town hall was Trump rambling and complaining. Nothing more. Nothing less.
And to Kellyanne Conway, there wasn't 8,000 people inside the church.

Enough of this.
Trump is making inroads with Black men. It is true that Black men see him more positively than Black women.
Biden has been to Black churches. The far right often attacks him for doing what Trump is trying to do. They call it pandering when Biden does it, but outreach when Trump does it.
Granted that Biden is a devoted Catholic and attends mass in Washington, DC or Wilmington, Delaware. Trump barely attends church and often golfs on Sunday.
Religion is on the decline. Black churches that advocate Trump either support separatism or some form of discrimination against other minorities and protected classes.
A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."
Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
