Last week, Trump made a major deal out of the fact that 100 black pastors were going to endorse him after a major meeting with him at Trump tower. This announcement was touted in a major way, to the point that it was reported virtually everywhere as major news. And in fact, it would have been major news. As my colleague streiff noted yesterday, the fact that such a large number of black pastors would have found it socially acceptable to endorse Trump in public would have been at least credible evidence of Trump’s appeal to black voters (which he has been boasting about on the campaign trail despite the complete lack of evidence that he has any).

Trump’s statement on the matter was clear and unequivocal:

    The meeting was described by the campaign in a press release as, “a coalition of 100 African American Evangelical pastors and religious leaders who will endorse the GOP frontrunner after a private meeting at Trump Tower.”....

.....Here is the actual truth of what occurred
