Donald Trump was ridiculed Saturday after attending what his campaign called a Black roundtable at a Detroit church — with photos showing a largely white audience.

Trump’s campaign reached out to the 180 Church to set up the event at which attendees asked a handful of questions before bursting into a rendition of Happy Birthday.

The evangelical church is in the heart of Detroit’s west side and has a mainly Black congregation.

But photos caught by the media, and shared widely online, showed a lot of white people in the audience.

    As to why Black Americans are leaving the Democratic party? Okay, then what is the general consensus? Apparently my Google’s search algorithm is bs.

      The general consensus as to why white, black, and all kinds of Americans are leaving the Republican Party is because Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump is a threat to democracy and the rule of law and repeatly slanders our great country and attacks our longstanding core values every f*cking time he loses court cases and elections.

          Good luck with what? Maintaining our 246 year record of democracy and the rule of law? Did you really think proud Americans would let some petty loser and con artist come along after hundreds of years and steal that from us?

      There is not a consensus that people are leaving the democratic party.

      Also, polls only give you statistics about folk who will actually take a poll or reply to a pollster.
