As the left continued to freak out over Donald Trump’s criticism of Al Sharpton on Monday, the president met with African-American pastors and black community leaders.
Trump said he was “looking forward” to the meeting on Twitter. No reporters were invited.
Looking forward to my meeting at 2:00 P.M. with wonderful Inner City Pastors!
