Donald Trump's trip to an African-American church in Detroit will look a lot like his trip to Mexico

Donald Trump on Saturday will make another pitch to African-American voters.

The GOP presidential nominee will visit a black church in Detroit - his first such appearance in front of a predominantly black audience since launching his run for the White House in June 2015.

Trump's outreach has largely hit a wall in the last few weeks.

Among other things, the GOP nominee has made his appeals to black voters while standing among mostly white audiences, and his rhetoric has been slammed as insincere and out of touch.

Unlike his infamous campaign rallies, Trump will not directly address the audience at Great Faith Ministries International, The New York Times reported. Instead, he will sit down with the church's pastor for a private, one-on-one meeting that will be closed to news media. An affair similar to Trump's widely panned visit to Mexico on Wednesday.

According to The Times' Yamiche Alcindor, Trump will speak from an eight-page prepared transcript featuring answers to questions that were submitted in advance.

"The proposed answers were devised by aides working for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee," The Times noted, citing an official involved in the planning.

Here's more from The Times:

"The document includes the exact wording of answers the aides are proposing for Mr. Trump to give to questions about police killings, racial tension and the perception among many black voters that he and the Republican Party are racist, among other topics."

Video of the interview will be edited "so that the final version [reflects] the campaign's wishes," The Times said. It will air on the church's television network.

The appearance signals the Trump campaign's latest effort to recalibrate the brusque tone Trump initially adopted when he first began asking black people for their votes.

The candidate has been polling in the single digits among black voters for some time amid criticism that his campaign appealed mostly to white, nationalist sensibilities.

Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival, attempted to call that out last week in a speech lambasting the real-estate mogul's alleged pandering to the alt-right movement - a subset of conservative voters who applaud racially tinged nationalist views.

Trump bristled at the notion and accused Clinton of "race-baiting" to reel in African-American votes.
