The gathering includes church leaders, celebrities, organization directors and other leaders. Trump tweets: "I closed the borders to certain areas of the world very early. We'd never closed a border before. We've never done that before." And: "the Democrats said I was a racist. Not from black-people standpoint, but from Asian-people standpoint, from Chinese-people standpoint. They said I was a racist because I closed our country to people coming in from certain areas." He also claims: “It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
