Trump Prays With Evangelical Leaders in Oval Office
by ANDREW RAFFERTY

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump spent part of Wednesday praying with evangelical leaders in the Oval Office.

Social media posts from attendees show the president’s head bowed in prayer as those around him laid their hands on the commander-in-chief. Vice President Mike Pence is also seen in the picture praying.

“Such an honor to pray within the Oval Office for @POTUS & @VP ,” Johnnie Moore, a former senior vice president at Liberty University, tweeted.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the group was a faith advisory council that meets "from time to time to speak about issues important to that community."

1. I cant take anymore of this. I have to tune out or go insane.

[mreilly]

30. Same here...

... these people are human garbage, supporting a piece of human garbage.

They don't care about making the world a better place. They don't care about feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, or educating the youth.

They care about forcing Christianity on people, hammering the 10 commandments into classrooms, banning reproductive choice, and driving non-Christians out of this country.

No interest in good deeds. No interest in making the world a better place. It is all about THEM. Forever and always. What THEY want. And NOTHING for anyone else.

2. They probably got a contact high from Trump's haircare products

Confused being in a toxic chemical haze with being honored.

[Chasstev365]

3. Ah, the money lenders from the temple!

Fake Christians!

[Docreed2003]

4. These jokers remind me of this guy...

[Iwasthere]

5. WTF?

[Kaleva]

6. Should have been a stoning. With nerf rocks of course.

[2naSalit]

7. That does it....

[milestogo]

8. Such an honor to provide your narcissistic supply

you lying, egotistical, corrupt sonofabitch.

[Atticus]

9. I'd be surprised if there aren't a lot of folks who'd love to "lay hands" on him. Not me, of course,

but just "some people", "good Americans", etc.

[Doreen]

10. Puke, barf, upchuck, spew, convulse, and retch!!!!

[magicarpet]

22. What ?

These Christian Fundies gave djt a hand job in the oval office - really ?

How did Melania respond to this ?

At his age did they need to force feed him a fist full of the little blue pills ?

Next thing these clowns will want a 10 ton granite monument to the Ten Commandments out in the Rose Garden.

[skylucy]

26. Ditto.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

11. What a bunch of losers.

That's probably what Trump thinks of them too.

[customerserviceguy]

17. No, they got Gorsuch

They're about the only ones of Trump's supporters who have what they wanted.

[Dem2]

12. What are these people all children?

What a complete embarrassment to our country.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

13. Looks the start of some kinky Evangelical orgy. n/t

[haele]

14. Y'know, from that photo, it looks like they're laying hands on a fake or a dummy with a wig.

On second thought, that's meta-redundant, isn't it?

That's also not a healthy looking person, just from the back view - even if that's a poor quality camera, there's something really off there, almost a "uncanny valley" vibe. No matter what I feel about the guy in the position, from that photo, there's no "there" there - nothing that seems living.

15. How about some snake handling, too?

That would be interesting.

[gratuitous]

16. Statement from Pope Francis

"I saw the photos from the ceremony today in the Oval Office, and was quite disappointed to hear that lightning did not strike the site. I am seriously considering a turn to atheism. I mean, what's it take, GOD?"

[snort]

18. Creeps

[Paladin]

19. Jesus wept. (nt)

[MerryBlooms]

20. Repulsive. An entire room full of grifters with the grifter in chief.

[Takket]

21. the ultimate irony of their false idol worship is 45 probably called them all fucking kooks after

they left

[superpatriotman]

23. I demand all moderate Christians put a stop to these radicals

After all it's all the same religion, right?

[Mr. Ected]

24. And why, pray tell, did they not lay hands on Barack Obama?

Why do these people demonize Democrats and deify Republicans?

Is their God a registered Republican?

[MountCleaners]

33. Like I said elsewhere

They are all white. What gathering of Christian religious people is all white? Who ever heard of a group of ministers with no black clergy? And they have no shame about it!

[The Genealogist]

25. Charming bit of theatre

I'm sure Two Scoop's deplorable base will be eating up this contrived bullcrap with a spoon and smiling their shit-eating little grins. I'd hate to be so ignorant or taken in that as to fall for such phony baloney as this. Sad! Bigly sad!

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Guess they weren't.......

reaching out to "lay hands" the same way he would!

(and really, that's what they'll accept as a "leader?" )

[Initech]

28. Funny that the fundies worship a guy who has literally broken all 10 commandments.

[GoCubsGo]

29. I'm sure the same holds true for every one of the people in that room

Well, maybe most of those people didn't kill anyone, but have little doubt they all broke at least 2/3 of them, the lying, stealing and adultery parts, especially.

[Initech]

31. I don't know if Trump has killed people either.

So at least 9 of the 10 commandments anyway. But if Trump is connected to the mob (and he most definitely is), then surely people who have worked for him have killed people.

[alphafemale]

32. He didn't realize it was an evangeical thing

He just thought he was like that fantastically glowing orb his new best Saudi buddies showed him.

"They can't resist touching me. I am a better, bestest glowing orb!"

[roamer65]

34. Fake Christians with a fake President.

[MountCleaners]

35. What scripture says:

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:5-6

[Ilsa]

36. In a few months, they will all thrice deny being there.

Waiting for the cock to crow three times.
Muelker is coming.

[CozyMystery]

37. Are they performing an exorcism?

[Glimmer of Hope]

38. stfu. He is not a "good" person.

[hatrack]

39. Shouldnt they be burning a goat or something?

You know, to make a sweet savor in the nostrils of the lord?

This would, of course, likely set off the fire alarms, to say nothing of making the SS crazy.
