Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Thursday criticized the pastor of a black church in Flint, Michigan, who had interrupted his remarks at the church the day before.
“Something was up because I noticed she was so nervous when she introduced me,” Trump said in a phone interview on Fox News, also describing her as a “nervous mess” and “shaking.” He wasn’t bothered by the confrontation, he said, because “everyone plays their games.”
