Trump declares coronavirus 'National Day of Prayer', suggests looking to God for 'protection'

[left-of-center2012]

The leader of the free world urged people to pray as he continues to receive harsh criticism for his response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

“It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer,” Trump tweeted. “We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these,” he argued.

“No matter where you may be, I encourage you to turn towards prayer in an act of faith. Together, we will easily PREVAIL!” he predicted.

6. Fucking asshole.

My fav Buy-bull verse:

“She lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses.” Ezekiel 23:20

[John Fante]

21. Not as popular as John 3:16

But so much funnier.

[stopbush]

25. But more truthful than John 3:16.

[Totally Tunsie]

7. There are no atheists in foxholes.

Apparently none in the WH either when it comes to a catastrophe.

[stopbush]

11. Actually, everyone's an atheist in a foxhole.

You don’t see Christians sticking their heads up, secure in their belief that their god will protect them, do you?

[Jamastiene]

15. +1

[rickyhall]

38. No

[USALiberal]

8. God should not need a prayer to do the right thing! Nt

[BootinUp]

10. This is a joke, right?

[Phoenix61]

12. The Onion and Borowitz can't compete with this. nt

[Jamastiene]

13. I knew that bullshit was coming.

How can he touch a Bible without it burning him?

I ask a God I don't even believe in every day why we are stuck with Trump. Why not a drunken bonobo? It would do a better job.

When I pray next, I will ask God why did a serious pandemic have to happen under this Orange Choad buffoon and all of his idiotic false prophet loving worshipers. That's my biggest next question.

Why would God help us now anyhow? Half his followers have quit worshiping him and started worshiping Trump. Maybe they should just keep worshiping Trump and let the rest of us non-stupid people work out something with God to make things better. Every time they pray, things just get worse, because that is what they pray for. They will just be praying for a way to blame it on gay people anyhow. Nobody needs that.

This is fucking ridiculous. I cannot believe we went from Obama to this. How far we have fallen.

[Sugar Smack]

58. I've put some thought into whether or not D. trump is, in fact, Satan.

The movies, historical literature, plays, and poetry make Lucifer seem like such a handsome, dashing guy. Tim Curry, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, even Warner Bros. The Dark Prince is supposed to be charming and witty. This guy is a dud, a blob, a failure, ugly as homemade sin, and has no sense of humor.

Yet, how can this creature thrive on Special Sauce and walk thru curtains of contamination and NOT have toppled over? Am I wrong about everything? Is Satan actually an annoying, irritating, BORING prick?
One with nothing but malevolence & bad will for everybody.

[Goodheart]

14. I am God and I laugh at your silly prayers!

[Zoonart]

16. ...and he did not burst into flames?!

[Sugar Smack]

48. The only reason for that is it must be Photoshopped!

Look at those big, pale, male disembodied hands holding a bible.
Can't be real.

[Sugar Smack]

49. On second thought, the nails are buffed.

[Zoonart]

50. Yep.

[SeattleVet]

17. The only 'prayer' he knows...

Is moaning, "oh god, oh god" while he is raw-dogging porn stars.

[EndlessWire]

65. LOL! n/t

[Blue Owl]

18. This is an 11 on the barf-o-meter

[musette_sf]

19. God's response:

[Initech]

20. To quote Stephen Colbert: "This just in, Jesus has quit!"

[Beartracks]

22. Reminds me of the story of the man trapped on his roof during a flood.

A guy in a canoe comes past and offers to rescue him. He says, "No, thanks. The Lord will provide."
The water gets up to his knees. A guy in a rubber raft comes by. He says, "No, thanks. The Lord will provide."
The water is up to his chin. A police boat comes by. He says, "No, thanks. The Lord will provide."
Then he goes under, and drowns.
Once in heaven, he asks God why He didn't save him. The Lord says, "Come on, I sent you a canoe, a raft, and a boat!"

So...

On this National Day of Prayer, I'm going to pray that God sends us a wise, smart, strong, competent, capable, and empathetic leader to replace the one we've got now -- and I pray that Americans, stranded in the current chaos, are wise enough to know this person when they see him!

========

[Beartracks]

23. By the way, is that picture of Bible Trump supposed to be real?

It's a lousy Photoshop.

[denem]

24. Did the coronavirus answer his prayers?

What did it say?

[GulfCoast66]

26. I trust a god I don't believe in more than I do trump.

[brewens]

27. I'm sure the Iranians threw lots of Allah at it. I hope Jesus does better. n/t

[Docreed2003]

28. I'm surprised he's not selling Trump Bibles on his website

Such a crock of shit from this ass...he's trying to keep his cult intact through this travesty.

[dalton99a]

29. Piece of cake. Just PRAY

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. FUCK YOU, you lying bastard hypocrite.

Shit, I HATE this MFer.

[GP6971]

31. I feel better already! n/t

[Thomas Hurt]

32. Trump has admitted on video he believes in neither forgiveness or repentence.

He is an amoral pig. He is Christian only by the measure that you are christian is you self identify as christian.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. And, it's a shitty piece of photoshopping. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

34. While we're talking about the Bible, let me recommend Psalms 109:8-11:

"Let his days be few; and let another take his office. Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow. Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour."

[dflprincess]

35. Because that worked so well during the outbreaks of plague.

How about he declares Monday a National Day of Science?

[Grokenstein]

36. March 12th: Step Right Up! Get Your Supernatural Protection Here!

Ha ha ha, "easily" prevail. It's easy and simple, like winning a trade war!

So, what's Donny gonna do now instead of molesting the flag--start lasciviously fingering through the King James Buybull as he stumbles up on stage?

EDIT: I totally forgot that Donny declared his inauguration America's National Day of Patriotic Devotion, a series of words you NEVER want to see together.

[NotASurfer]

37. Translation: he screwed up so royally that only Divine intervention can help us

I was in Dallas when the one hospital inadvertently tried to unleash Ebola and they issued the same public health advice.

[walkingman]

39. The Anti-Christ has spoken.

The Trump administration doesn’t value basic science, it doesn’t understand it and it tends to reject it when it conflicts with its political narrative. Sorry GOP but "thoughts and prayers" will not fix this and we are now at the mercy of people delusional enough to think their pleas to God will fix the problem.

[Dem2]

40. This is a joke, right?

I sure hope so.

[Olafjoy]

41. This is so damn embarrassing

Being an American these days means enduring one humiliation after another. I’m so ashamed. A day of prayer. Pray for what? Rolls of toilet paper 🧻 to drop from the sky? Jesus! Do not abandon us in our moment of need!

[pecosbob]

42. That's what he suggests?

I suggest the GOP and all Trumpers hold lots and lots of rallies in the next two months. Cull the herd.

[Walleye]

43. Reminds me of General Patton ordering a good weather prayer.

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. Maggot.

[StarryNite]

45. Sucking up to his evangelical base.

And when people start dying by the hundreds it will all be because it's Gawd's plan.

[EndlessWire]

66. I agree. n/t

[canetoad]

46. Jesus wept. nt

[Squinch]

47. What a fuck head.

[lpbk2713]

51. How about a National Day of Getting Something Constructive Done?

Big dumbass.

[samnsara]

52. God-dess is already pissed..this wont appease her..

[Bluethroughu]

53. OMG, THIS REMINDS ME OF THE CRAZY MEIER LADY

This is not helpful, and I would appreciate some science, guidelines, and stability. He is useless, and actually part of the problem.

RESIGN MF!

[dewsgirl]

54. We are so fucked.

[Nay]

55. We know there's no god, Trump, because he hasn't squashed you like a bug yet. So quit

the bullshit.

[duforsure]

56. My prayers is for someone else

To occupy the White House other than him. He's not capable of handling this or anything else, and refuses to live in the real world , and is desperately trying to get people to live in his make believe reality instead.

[Liberal In Texas]

57. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather have a national day of mass distribution

of COVID-19 test kits!

[Chainfire]

59. Perhaps we should take this day or prayer

To sacrifice Trump to satisfy the angry gods. What a great honor it should be for him to give his all for the country he swore to protect and defend. I have faith that as the ashes cooled, the virus would go away.

[Under The Radar]

60. The poster boy for Christianity

Y’all be right, it seems that he is trying very hard at “bringing the end of times”

[bluedigger]

61. When has magical thinking ever failed us?

[a la izquierda]

62. So glad 14th century "remedies" are making...

a comeback. Flagellants coming to a hamlet near you.
