Pastor: Donald Trump Will Be ‘The Most Pro-Black President in Our Lifetime’


Pastor Darrell C. Scott

In a roundtable discussion on Wednesday, Pastor Darrell Scott thanked President Trump for going to great lengths to help inner-city communities, predicting he would be the “most pro-black president in our lifetime.”

PASTOR SCOTT:  Pastor Darrell Scott.  I’ve had the honor and privilege to work with then-candidate, now President Trump, and to observe him behind the scenes and have a number of personal conversations with him.

And people ask me why do I defend him so vociferously.  And I say it’s easy for me to do it because I know him, and he’s shown me his heart, and I know he has a heart for all Americans.

And I will say this: This administration has taken a lot of people by surprise.  And it’s going to surprise you guys even more, because this is probably the most proactive administration regarding urban America and the faith-based community in my lifetime.  And I’ll be 60 years old in December.

But when I think back on — well, I mean, I use good hair dye.  (Laughter.)  And I’ve got a great makeup artist.

But, to be honest, this is probably going to be the — and I’m going to say this at this table — the most pro-black President that we’ve had in our lifetime because — and I try to, you know, analyze the people that I encounter.  This President actually wants to prove something to our community, our faith-based community and our ethnic community.

The last President didn’t feel like he had to.  He felt like he didn’t have to prove it.  He got a pass.  This President is — this administration is probably going to be more proactive regarding urban revitalization and prison reform than any President in your lifetime.

If we work together, give him a chance.  Don’t pay any attention to these guys back here.  (Laughs.)  And I’ll promise you, we will do something that — we will — this administration will continue to make history.  It’s going to be a lot of positive changes.  Great things are on the horizon, I promise.

THE PRESIDENT:  Thank you.  I have to say one thing about Darrell.  So, I didn’t know him at all.  And I’m watching one of the, I would say, “unfriendly” groups of broadcasters, to put it nicely.  And I said, “Who is that guy?”  He was destroying them.  I say, “Who is he?”  And then I saw him two or three times.  And I said, “I have to meet him.”

But I want to just thank you.  You have been incredible.  You are some voice.  And when I heard — okay, tell them, how long are you married?  Tell me.

PASTOR SCOTT:  Thirty-nine years — thirty-eight years.

THE PRESIDENT:  Okay.  So I thought he was like 35 years old.  (Laughter.)  So did you.  And then he said, “Say hello to my wife.”  And he said, “I’ve been married 39 years.”  I said, “You’re married 39 years?  I thought you were 35 years old.”  Right?  (Laughter.)

But you’re doing a good job.  You’re obviously doing it right because you look great and we really appreciate it.

PASTOR SCOTT:  Yeah, we’re going to be all right.
