Donald Trump was ridiculed Saturday after attending what his campaign called a Black roundtable at a Detroit church — with photos showing a largely white audience.

Trump’s campaign reached out to the 180 Church to set up the event at which attendees asked a handful of questions before bursting into a rendition of Happy Birthday.

The evangelical church is in the heart of Detroit’s west side and has a mainly Black congregation.

But photos caught by the media, and shared widely online, showed a lot of white people in the audience.

    Can you link when Biden was there?

    Biden was in Detroit on May 19.

    Hello, Detroit.  My name is Joe Biden, and I’m a lifetime member of the NAACP.  (Applause.)

    He also visited Saginaw, MI in March.

    During the President’s visit, Saginaw area residents Hurley Coleman III and his son 13-year-old Hurley Coleman IV got the chance to have a personal conversation with the President.

    And Warren, MI in February.

    President Joe Biden chatted with a friendly union crowd inside a United Auto Workers hall in Michigan on Thursday
