(CNSNews.com) – One day after the Senate acquitted him on two articles of impeachment, President Donald Trump opened his speech at the 68th Annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday by lashing out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrats for trying to impeach and remove him from office.
“As everybody knows, my family, our great country and your president has been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people. They have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they put themselves far ahead of our great country,” he said.

Matt 18:15 “If your brother* sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. Matt 18:16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ Matt 18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.* If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. In the National Prayer Breakfast, refers to those who sin such as saying "I am praying for you." The Gospel of Matthew comes to mind: Matthew 18:15-17
When President Trump refers to "people who 'claim' to pray for you, but do not, then Matthew 18:15-17 comes to mind:

Nancy Pelosi Prays to Satan.
Notice how her overflowing Hate is justified, in her mind.
.
She is one of millions who do not think killing unborn babies is a sin. Yet she claims to be a Roman Catholic.
The first sentence appears to be a lie. He didn’t name Pelosi.
the left pray- and they mean it when they say they are ‘praying for us’- but they pray to Satan-
I’m glad the president is so frank in his assessment of what we all know to be the case.
The one perspective I would like to see him add is this — yes he went through an ordeal and it shouldn’t happen again. But it has happened already to many others, and we have not come out with any public declarations of victory. We have to be satisfied with the idea that our own smaller (but no less hurtful) assaults from the left will be dealt with in the fullness of time and by a higher court.
In my own case I have been unfairly blacklisted and subjected to false accusations for pretty much an entire lifetime, and for the same basic set of reasons — I dared to be good in an evil world. And it did not end so decisively or so well for me. Nor can I realistically expect that it ever will, living in a country entirely under the possession of demons (as you’ve perhaps noticed looking north).
So my redemption and vindication can only come if God ordains it in the future, probably not in this world.
The president had an ordeal of three and a half years. There is something a little more than slightly Biblical about that. I’ve been going at it for forty years. Another significant number? You bet your life.
She is dishonest in every aspect of life, including her fake faith.
This news conference Trump had at 12 pm today. I hear even those on Fox call it a revenge time... and more.
I want to say what it was.. (I watched it all)
It was a THANK YOU to all who helped him in the mess of the last 3 years.
An appreciation conference.. a THANK YOU!
I hear that, Mr. President. It's a strait and narrow path - but we have a Sheperd who goes out to lead us back when we stray.
Unlike 0bam, Trump gave credit to Others! It was great conference!
If I tell someone I will pray for them or for a family member or for a friend, I try to do it right then so they can hear the prayer.
I enjoyed the conference that he had and kept waiting for him to get around to his family. (Which he did at the very end.)
Pres Trump and his family have been rung through the wringer the past 4 years. he didnt have to volunteer for this job.. he had a very nice life. he felt compelled to do what he knew he could accomplish, and i dont know another person who could do what Trump has.
The media and the left fall in line with the satan that is explained in the bible. they have no inner convictions.. no truth in them.. they are void of truth and hate to be in the presence of that light.. they want to stamp it all out.
several quotes come to mind:
Preach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.
Put your creed in your deed.
For what Donald Trump said, Matthew 18:15-17.
15 “If your brother sins [against you], go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. 16 If he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church.* If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.A Brother Who Sins.
I admit that I have "a plank before my own eye".
Matthew 7:1-5
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye". “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
End of Matthew 7:1-5
I stopped somewhere after Mass today to get something to eat. I discussed President Trump "ranting" at the news conference for an hour (Thursday or Wednesday). The personal at the restaurant was very sympathetic to Trump, saying "he had the right to with what was done to him."
I was given a free desert. I was also wearing a Knights of Columbus t-shirt.
Loving your enemy comes to mind. Loving your neighbor comes to mind.
God bless.
I agree with President Trump. Nancy Pelosi was judging his faith which drives me crazy. We are called to the witness stand, not the judge’s bench when it comes to the issue of faith and sharing God’s love. There is nothing I hate more than someone telling others who is and isn’t a Christian. My judgement is with God, not people of this earth. If you want to judge my behavior (sin) that’s fine.
