Update: Donald Trump and the Tale of the 100 Pastors, the Oops Factor

Yesterday, I published a post about Donald Trump and how an invitation to black pastors to meet with him in New York today had somehow morphed into 100 endorsements from those same black pastors.  The clergy who were roped into Mr. Trump's publicity scheme were none too pleased.

Update:

Poor Donald.  What's a braggart to do when confronted with such a public lack of cooperation?  
Well first, on Sunday you have your campaign issue a press release that states the meeting will be closed to the press (wouldn't want any nasty media reporting on what obviously was not going to be a Trump love-fest), and don't forget to continue with DonnyBoy's embroidered tale that "a number of attendees are expected to endorse Mr. Trump."   When those unreasonable media types asked the obvious "How many?"question, there was no response.

Then, when it becomes obvious that the candidate is going to look like a fool standing in front of an empty room pontificating to no one, you have the candidate himself make a personal appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe where he can float a new Trump Tale to cover his obvious lack of support from the 100 black pastors who just a few days ago were so eager to become public fans of the Trump Trainwreck.  

Yes, folks, this morning, Mr. Combover found a way to turn his original lie into an even better one.  Black religious leaders, he said, had really wanted to meet with him, but he had to cancel the meeting because all those minority clergyman who were so eager to shake his hand were pressured by members of Black Lives Matter to withhold their public support.  His proof was simple: "I have a great relationship with the black pastors."

what eye thynk:  Ohio Pastor Darrel Scott, who organized the canceled meeting, told the media there was a "miscommunication."  Or, as I like to call it: Oops-nobody-bought-my-bulls**t-so-lets-throw-this-against-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks.
