No, it sounds like Trump invited all these pastors to a meeting—and that’s all they signed up for, i.e., a meeting—but then he prematurely assumed that they would of course endorse him, when that was not part of the deal.

This is just an assumption on your part. You don't know if they said they would endorse him, and then started to pull back when threatened by the mobs.

The MSM, DNC and the RNC must be pleased.

“It is pretty basic knowledge that pastors and churches aren’t allowed to endorse candidates for public office.”

It’s also pretty basic knowledge that Black pastors are exempt if the the candidate they endorse is a Democrat.

Any black that gets along with white people are called toms and coons....You just can’t imagine the pressure down here in the South...I seriously can’t have a black friend...too much peer pressure on them...gave up years, years ago...some white people just don’t understand this.

The preachers - if you read to the last paragraph - have been insulted and vilified that they’ve gone all wobbly.

I read the whole story and some, as you said, have been threatened. But others apparently never agreed to meet with Trump and others never suggested they were endorsing him.

Really? When has that stopped black churches? EVER? They are admitting that down the road they will endorse someone....you can’t see that? and what are these “Pastors” if stupid names like coon and uncle tom makes them wilt...big, tough followers of the Lord i guess...perfect example of the root cause of blacks in this country.....right at the very CORE! Cowards that go along to get along...tithes may dry up or side pieces of ass in the congregation... I love those black pastors that have balls and tell it like it is and also walks the walk with the Lord.

Trump set the meeting up and invited the attendees.

After the rumbles about not endorsing him, he knew he's set a snare for himself, and they were waiting for him. Good fix of a bad decision.

[Pastors and churches aren’t allowed to endorse candidates for public office.]

Pastors can individually endorse candidates. They just can’t tell their congregations how to vote.

Where does every white liberal run to when under fire???? The black church...every time! Oh lawwws! Frauds!! I’m talking to you black “Pastors”....Most of you are total failures in truly setting an example in the Lord’s eyes. Go to any black urban center....shingle hung out on every other building by some charleton claiming to speak the word.... Wanna get me pissed...this is my topic and i see it as the most destructive, evil, sinister wrong done to the black race...MLK loved him sum white womens....These SOB’s have NO shame whatsoever....I don’t even think they believe even half of what they preach.

Black woman i work with tells me about a church she used to go to....they had a class on “life skills”...It was all about how to fraud the IRS and get every government handout you could think of... she finally got a conscience and left that church....She straightened up and is angry about how bad she is taxed for these leeches.

"It is not clear how many endorsements Trump will receive following the meeting."

Trump figured out that some there would use the meeting to embarrass him.

I'd wager it was the other way around.
