Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will venture to Detroit on Saturday to attend a roundtable discussion at a Black church, the latest in an effort to peel away Black voters from President Joe Biden ahead of November’s election.

Trump’s planned visit to a church nestled in the heart of Detroit’s west side has received fierce pushback from local Democrats and the Biden campaign who argued Trump did little as president to improve Black communities nationwide.

Trump has denigrated Detroit in the past as “corrupt,” but both he and Biden have identified Michigan as a must-win state, and the vote there is expected to be as close or closer than it was four years ago.

    Oh cool… we get to see which old white man looks more awkward around a bunch of black people singing and dancing!

      I think I would take awkward “how the hell did I end up here?” over “Hey, remember when we used to own them?”:

      or the “double invisible handy”:

        Either way, it will be embarrassing, but I’ll be voting for the guy who doesn’t still insist the Central Park Five are guilty.

        Also, it’s sort of around the time of Juneteenth! Juneteenth, MLK day and the first day of February are the three days the media remembers black people exist.

          Two more positive-ish occasions then the LGBT folks, so I suppose they have that going for them, which is nice.

            LGBT folks are catered to A LOT more than black ppl. Mainly because LGBT ppl can be white. Now if you’re brown and LGBT you can’t pretty much fuck off as far as they’re concerned

              LGBT folks have like one day the media remembers (pride month… though really only the first) compared to the black folks three was all I was saying.

        He’s an 81-year-old white guy surrounded by black people singing and dancing. I’m thinking frozen might be the best move.

        Imagine if he was trying to dance along.

          This looks fake as fuck lol. He is stiff, but he ain’t that stiff lmao. He’d at least attempt the patented White Man Shuffle

            It’s real, I promise you. And it actually goes on for way longer. It’s very weird. But then Biden is weird.

              Still 1,000 times better than Trump, lol.

              I’ll take weird stiff guy over horrible nazi guy anyday.

                Oh no question. Which one of them is weirder around black people is not really what will decide my vote, it will just amuse me.
