LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Black preachers, don’t let Trump manipulate you

To the Editor:

I am at a loss for words that black preachers allowed [GOP presidential candidate] Donald Trump to expose our vulnerability over a meeting and a press conference.

Preachers, let’s look out for the people we serve and not ourselves. Trump has publicly disrespected every minority group from Latinos to those with special needs, to the Black Lives Matter movement.

My thing is this: has Trump ever been to a black church? If not, then why now does he want the black preacher to come to him?

Is it really about a conversation? We have been talking for years about jobs, better schools, economic empowerment. Where has he been with his billions? But now he needs a vote and a picture so he calls the black preacher.

#Dont’tGetTrumped.
