About

"What makes you think black people will vote for you? Because the word on the street is, you're a racist." With those blunt words to then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, Pastor Darrell Scott began a journey he never expected to take-becoming the future president's most prominent African-American supporter and advisor. Pastor Scott recounts how and why he boarded "the Trump Train," revealing the considerable difficulties he experienced along the way. As his story progresses, Pastor Scott highlights the accomplishments he, his allies, and members of the Trump administration have worked so hard to earn on behalf of the black community in the United States. Pastor Scott holds absolutely nothing back as he describes: his transformation from a life of drugs and crime on the streets of Cleveland to a life leading a thriving community church; behind-the-scenes stories of Trump's campaign, inauguration, and first term as president; the blistering criticism he, his family, and his church endured; intimate portraits of Trump's ever-evolving inner circle; what he truly thinks of former president Barack Obama, and why; and his experience with leading national media figures on both ends of the political spectrum. Lastly, Pastor Scott provides a surprising portrait of President Donald Trump himself-his candor; his support for policies, issues, and initiatives important to the African-American community; and his little-understood relationship with Christianity.
