Trump to reporters before prayer: 'You need it more than I do'
The Hill ^ | 12/20/17 | Joe Concha

Posted on 12/20/2017 11:25:20 AM PST by x1stcav

President Trump told reporters that they were allowed to stay for his prayer with Cabinet secretaries on Wednesday because "you need it more than I do."

"You need the prayer more than I do, I think. You may be the only ones," he said, to laughter from the Cabinet.

"We thank you for the president and for Cabinet members who are courageous, who are willing to face the winds of controversy in order to provide a better future for those who come behind us," Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said in the prayer.

"We're thankful for the unity in Congress that has presented an opportunity for our economy to expand so we can fight the coercive debt that has been destroying our future. And we hope that unity will expand beyond party lines," he added.

“It’s a wonder I didn’t as we all got them (BB guns) about the point in time and we’d divide up into teams and have BB gun fights.”


I did the same thing - “Just don’t anyone shoot at anyone’s eye’s” I would say TO OTHER TEN YEAR OLDS.

God had a pretty thick covering over us; it’s the only explanation -

The photographer zoomed in on Trump’s hands folded in prayer. A close-up that lasted quite a while. Wonderful Christmas for America. God is answering our prayers... still.

Here’s the thing. In the deep recesses of their black hearts, the leftist media darlings believe above all else that they are superior to conservatives, they are superior to anyone who is religious, and especially that they are superior to the populist Trump.

Trump understands this. And he does things like this to irk them, because he knows it drives them bat guano crazy.

This kind of humor is what endeared Reagan to so many of us. Now its Trump.

I just love this. And Sec. Carson offering a prayer as they do the people’s business. How wonderfully refreshing. What a year so far.

Yep, same here, same age. However I did almost shoot out the eye of one of my playmates. I hit him in the cheek bone about an inch below his eye........That was the end of that stupid crap, I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Reagan was great, but when it comes to humor, Trump is king.

Like during the election, this reporter asks Trump which woman picture he’d like to see on the new bill coming out, Trump deadpanned and said, “My mother”.

I beg to differ. It’s not that often Newyorker Trump uses this kind of homespun humor. Reagan from the midwest, used it all the time.

Come on. Reagan was not even in the same park as Trump when it comes to humor as he slams it into the leftist faces around the clock.

Not even close.

We agree, Trump slams “it” into their faces more than Reagan. The “it,” however, I wouldn’t say is necessarily humor. If that’s what you want to call it, ok, but to me its a different sort than Reagan’s. Have a good day.

Wonderful disarming comment. Somewhere The Gipper is smiling.
