This week saw President Donald Trump deliver the annual State of the Union address as well as get acquitted by the Senate on both articles of impeachment. During the National Prayer Breakfast, the President took this as an opportunity to air his grievances towards the Democrats and one Republican senator.
Trump hosted the National Prayer Breakfast for the lawmakers. The President addressed the impeachment efforts and took the event as an opportunity to shame his political enemies, who were also present at the event. “As everybody knows, my family, our great country, and your president have 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,” said Trump. He also praised the Republican lawmakers, the majority of which made the vote to acquit.
His speech during the event was shared on social media and many commented on how he decided to vent towards the lawmakers at an event that was supposed to be reserved for faith and prayer. Some commented on how the prayer breakfast was more like a campaign rally. CNN Political Analyst Joe Lockhart even tweeted: “It’s fitting that Donald Trump would use a prayer breakfast to complain about what’s been done to him. He still has no sense of what he’s done to the country. And he has no sense of what a prayer breakfast is about. To him, it’s only about him. As Godless as it gets.”
Trump then zeroed in with comments referencing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney, who is the only Republican Senator to voted to convict him during the trial. “I don’t like people who use their faith as a justification for doing what they know is wrong nor do I like people who say ‘I pray for you’ when they know that’s not so,” said Trump. Pelosi then responded to his comments through the weekly press conference, saying that it was inappropriate given that they were at a prayer breakfast.
