Detroit pastor tells Trump Obama and Biden 'never made it to the hood'

A visit by former President Donald Trump was contrasted by the absence of his fellow Democrats, leaving community leaders “humbled” in “the hood”.

As President Joe Biden touched down in Los Angeles on Saturday to chat with celebrities alongside George Clooney, Julia Roberts and former President Barack Obama, the GOP frontrunner continued to make inroads into the neighborhoods hardest hit by leftist politics.

This included attending a community panel discussion at Church 180 in Detroit, Michigan, moderated by Florida Representative Byron Donalds (right), where Senior Pastor Lorenzo Sewell acknowledged the unique nature of the emergence of trump

Wearing a T-shirt that read, “MAKE BLACK AMERICA GREAT BACK,” the pastor expressed, “President Trump, I'm so humbled to be here. President Obama never made it to the hood, so to speak, did he? President Joe Biden, he went to the big NAACP dinner, but he never made it to the hood. So, thank you.”

Joining Sewell in juxtaposing the former commander in chief with current White House resident, 30-year veteran and US Postal Service employee Carlos Chambers, he commented, “I look at how Joe Biden became in president and he allowed Afghanistan to collapse and he allowed our soldiers to die. And we had a president who loved our soldiers, and we have to put our president back in office.”

“I just want to know, President Trump, please don't allow our soldiers to walk in red high-heeled shoes,” he added lamenting the military's heightened focus, easily counted among the factors contributing to the lack of targets recruitment

In his own words, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee addressed the border crisis as one of the main failings of the Biden administration that had directly affected urban communities. As residents had seen resources intended to improve their neighborhoods and keep the premises safe reallocated to cover food and housing for aliens who had entered the country illegally, blue towns began to understand how each town was a border town.

“They come into your community and they take your jobs. We have to get them out,” said Trump, who also noted that soft-on-crime policies had made crime “more rampant here in African-American communities.” , and stated that “the black population wants to enforce the law more than anyone else.” “

“I would like to see them fix the immigration issue and not just argue,” resident Angelo Brown, 61, who attended to see Trump “up close,” told Reuters.

“I'm still listening. I want to focus more on American, our school system, the medical system,” he said while another person he said the exit, “I'm glad someone came here.”

Out of the act, Sewell spoke with One America News and added of the president's visit, “For him to come here, he says, regardless of politics, people matter. For him to come here, for us, we feel like, wow, we have to do it again black America, because black America used to be the epicenter of politics. Black America, specifically the black church, was a place where you could get the information you needed in an objective way so that people make an informed decision.”

“So what we're asking the president to do,” the pastor said, “is make black America great again.”
