To begin African American History Month, President Donald Trump met with community leaders representing the African American community. Flanked by HUD Secretary, Dr. Ben Carson, and Community Liaison Omarosa Manigault, Trump invited each member to introduce him/herself. There was a Thurgood Marshall scholar and some guy named Paris Dennard who appears on CNN. It was all good until a Cleveland, Ohio pastor mentioned Chicago Gangs and “lower the body count”.

I tell you what. Nothing will make you fall off of the treadmill faster than when a boring Presidential meeting turns into a scene from “The Godfather”. Now, I know you are thinking gangs? Toni, don’t you mean “West Side Story”. Watch the video and tell me that you don’t hear the Theme from “The Godfather” start playing in the background. It’s at about the 8:00 minute mark.
