Donald Trump Uses the National Prayer Breakfast to Pray for Ratings and Brag About Firing His Agent
PoliticsDonald Trump, a noted fan of Jesus and all his works, whatever they were, was at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday morning, a solemn event that our nation’s presidents have used for decades to display their piety. While there, he bragged that the ratings on The Apprentice totally suck now and sarcastically asked for prayers for Arnold Schwarzenegger, who took over his old job.
Trump was introduced by Apprentice producer Mark Burnett, who supposedly has potentially damaging tapes of our now-president from the show, which he claims he is unable to release. Burnett talked for many, many minutes about the origin of The Apprentice, which is an important thing to get into at the National Prayer Breakfast. Then he addressed Trump, calling their friendship “one of the greatest relationships of my life.”
Trump, who recently tried to enact a xenophobic Muslim ban that Jesus would detest, kicked off his own remarks by telling Senate Chaplain Barry Black that he didn’t care if he was a Democrat or a Republican: “I’m appointing you for another year. The hell with it.” (Hell: also a thing to bring up at the prayer breakfast.)
Our president, the leader of the free world, then segued into a nice story also about The Apprentice, and also about firing his agent, just as, I believe, Christ Jesus fired his own talent representatives in the cleansing of the Temple.
