The photos above are proof that Trump’s “African-American outreach” isn’t about winning over black voters. Trump is still trying to prove that he is not a racist. Anyone who thinks that Donald Trump is making substantial gains with African-Americans in the polls needs to look at the pictures above of white people filling a black church to take part in a taped Trump town hall.
While Trump hopes that white suburban voters fall for his ruse, African-Americans aren’t being fooled by the Republican candidate’s latest con.
