Yesterday Donald Trump delivered a speech at Bethel United Methodist Church in Flint Michigan. During candidate Trump’s remarks he began to speak of the failed economic policies of past administrations including Bill and Hillary Clinton.
As Mr. Trump Pastor began addressing outsourcing and jobs, and the subsequent impact on Flint workers, pastor Faith Green Timmons interrupted and stated: “We invited you here to thank us, not to give a political speech“.

Not flustered, Mr. Trump calmly said thank you and concluded his remarks talking about how the damage to the Flint water system can be remedied and corrected.
The media immediately began to frame the interruption as “Trump being scolded“. However, what the media did not disclose was the interruption itself was a pre-planned set up by Pastor Timmons.
Pastor Faith Timmons announced her intention to teach Donald Trump a lesson on a facebook post earlier in the day. A post she promptly deleted after the event, but not before it was captured and screen grabbed.

The entire event by the church and Pastor Timmons was a set-up.
Candidate Donald Trump mentioned this morning during an interview on Fox and Friends that it seemed Pastor Faith Timmons was nervous in anticipation of her intentional disruption.
“She was so nervous,” Trump said this morning on “Fox and Friends.” “She was a nervous mess, and so I figured something — I figured something was up, really,” (link)
Donald Trump’s intuition was 100% correct.
Also, it appears, based on the timing of the incident in comparison to the rapid broadcast of media talking points about the event, some of the people in the media were also anticipating the ambush.
Today, CNN attempts to continue the narrative and begins saying “Trump goes after Flint Pastor“… see how that works?
