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.

    I don’t understand what you’re getting at here. America has been a good boy long enough that it’s allowed to be a little fachy now?

      America’s culture and history gives us an extra layer of protection against fascism that man other countries do not have.

        And how’s that working out for you with people gleefully calling for Trump to punish his political rivals?
