I\u2019m not that dumb,\u201d Maldonado told parishioners.\n\nThe Miami Herald reported Maldonado also made an appeal to some of his congregation who feel apprehensive about attending Trump\u2019s Friday visit to the King Jesus International Ministry church because of his administration's increased immigration raids.\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think the president would do such a thing,\u201d Maldonado said. \u201cDon\u2019t put your race or your nationality over being a Christian. Be mature ... If you want to come, do it for your pastor.
