Oh No. Not The National Prayer Breakfast.
Well, at least he’s quit pretending to be a Christian.
Y’all, the usually solemn National Prayer Breakfast is now all about Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump veered off script at the start of the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday when he asked a room full of lawmakers, foreign dignitaries and religious leaders to pray for Arnold Schwarzenegger so that ratings of his show — NBC’s “The Apprentice” — would go up.
Then he started drooling ….
The keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast was Barry Black, the chaplain of the United States Senate.
Moved by Black’s remarks, Trump lauded him.
“Thank you as well to senator chaplain Barry Black for his moving words,” he said.
Trump added: “I don’t know, chaplain, whether that’s an appointed position? Is that an appointed position? I don’t know if you’re Democrat or Republican, but I’m appointing you for another year. The hell with it.”
To many, especially the religious leaders in the room, “hell” is a swear word.
Y’all, even Arnold Schwarzenegger was stunned by it, which is kinda crazy considering that Arnold ain’t exactly anybody’s ideal of manners and propriety.
To make matters worse …
Lawmakers and religious leaders from about 70 countries gather at the Washington event, first organized in 1953.
