He is just a robot, campaign aides will edit the interview before it airs

2. The campaign got the questions ahead of time and have written answers for Trump to parrot. Lovely.

It is not uncommon for a candidate to request interview questions in advance; aides to Hillary Clinton do it from time to time. But it is unusual for a campaign to go so far as to prepare a script for a candidate’s own responses, and highlights the sensitivity of Mr. Trump’s first appearance at a black church. Mr. Trump’s series of slights, including his questioning of President Obama’s birth certificate, has not endeared him to black voters.

Highlights the sensitivity of Mr. Trump's first appearance? That's why they are doing it? What a joke. How bout calling it what it really is: preparing answers for someone who doesn't have sufficient grey matter to come up with decent answers on his own.

3. Some of the answers tho......

How are you going to improve race relations Mr ?

" get the blacks off welfare"

It's the dumb leading the dumb

4. How can they say someone other than Trump wrote the answers?!

This sounds exactly like him, does it not?

“As I went through my life, things got busy with business, but my family kept me grounded to the truth and the word of God,” the script has Mr. Trump saying. “I treasure my relationship with my family, and through them, I have a strong faith enriched by an ever-wonderful God.”

He goes through his family to get to God?

"Ever-wonderful God." Who writes this stuff? Oh right, his family.

5. Wow!! Not only will Trump be provided the questions along with prepared answers,

but they will also need an extra week to edit the tape? Hey Trump, these are black people you are talking to. They are not the Queen of England. You don't need to learn how to bow or curtsey! How about just saying, "Yo Bro!!!" "Wasssuppppp!!!!" We don't bite, and we don't touch other people's hair.

Hey Trump. What happened to your African American? We know you had ONE.

The interview will be aired about a week later on the Impact Network, Bishop Jackson’s Christian cable television channel. The official said several Trump aides would be working with the network to edit the taped interview so that the final version reflected the campaign’s wishes.

The arrangement have angered several black Republicans who had been urging that Mr. Trump, who is widely seen as distant from the black community, speak for at least 10 minutes at the service, according to the official involved in the planning. The official said the Trump campaign was uncomfortable with the candidate speaking before the congregation and insisted instead on the private interview. ..."

6. I hope the pastor sneaks in a couple of other questions.
