Yet so many here say Trump is doing nothing.

[OnlinePoker]

1. Yah, that'll work. n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. I've been praying for nearly 4 years he would just go away.

no luck so far.

[Cattledog]

3. We all know what America is praying for!

[lunasun]

4. I hope they all pray at home not gather

[Scarsdale]

5. Yeah, right.

That will cure EVERYTHING. How much good did little Mikey Pence do with his prayers? He even had Mother helping him. We could add the Flotus scam of "Be Best" to help cure this also. Tell Jarod to hurry up with his research, that will be a big help (yeah, right) Oh, since he is such a good member of the Jewish community, he does not work weekends, so I guess we will have to wait. What a screwed up mess of a government we have under the gop rule. Moscow Mitch deserves to rot in hell for his disaster of an impeachment ruling.

[Jamastiene]

6. I ain't praying to that choad.

That is what he REALLY means. Trump likes it when his followers worship him. That is what he really wants. It's also how he sees prayer, as something to satisfy his ego. Otherwise, I can guarantee he would not pretend to do it when his followers want to pray with him. They are really praying to him. If you pay close attention to how they are behaving, you can see it too. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. I got his number. I refuse to satisfy his overblown ego. I didn't vote for him. Let his sorry ass supporters pray to his sorry ass.

7. F__k You Donald Trump.

Wife says he's Full of Shit.

[Rorey]

8. It may as well be Satan declaring it NT

[bucolic_frolic]

9. I DOUBT TRUMP AND I ARE PRAYING FOR THE SAME THING

and yes, he is doing nothing, this is not a real world action, it is pure fantasy Con Man Baloney!

[Chemisse]

10. Wow! That is earthshattering! That should stop the virus in its tracks!

NOT!

This is the latest version of "thoughts and prayers" in lieu of action.

[Judi Lynn]

11. Here's hoping someone will has him to read his favorite scripture from TWO Corinthians. n/t

[marble falls]

14. I raise you One Corrintian and a Revelation.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

45. Two Corinthians go into a bar

Bartender says, "Those are some fine leather jackets."

[marble falls]

12. The only prayer this jackjass has ever has was for his McDonald order to come out right ...

Dimwit, every Sunday everyone in this nation who prays on a Sunday is already praying.

I'll be praying the nation is rid of two plagues, one is corona virus and the other is the plague of Trump and Trump hangerons.

[lark]

13. **** his totally BS day of prayer.

This means exactly zero, it is purely a sop to the Evangelicals. If prayer worked, he wouldn't have been able to steal the office and jeopardize our health for his own profits, so fuck that.

[duforsure]

15. While he goes off playing golf again while this disaster is going on.

Wonder how much he'll make off this disaster for himself?

16. The Possibly Proper Death Litany (a.k.a. The Agnostic's Prayer)

(Roger Zelazny, Creatures of Light and Darkness, © 1969)

Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say, I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or failed to do which requires forgiveness.

Conversely, if not forgiveness but something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to insure your receiving said benefit.

I ask this in my capacity as your elected intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by this ceremony.

Amen.

[machoneman]

17. Yeah, praying he get the virus and shortly....well, you know.....

...expires and takes his place in Dante's lowest level of Hell!

[machoneman]

18. Gosh, I do hope Kellyskank Spinway gets it too!

[IronLionZion]

19. Are conservatives still crowding into megachurches today?

lots of social closeness in these trying times....

[keithbvadu2]

20. As long as it is the 'right' kind of prayer.

[turbinetree]

21. FUCK his prayer BS............................go the fuck away...............your danger to society

and should have been put in jail long, long time ago....................

Now we have to wait until November....................3, 2020 and then January 20, 2021................

[packman]

22. Let me parse this out

"Thoughts" = not much given before or during the coronavirus. The people with an IQ above Trump knows that was thrown away when he disbanded the emergency response team at the CDC.

And now

"Prayers" = Well, we all know how that will work out. The religious folk will slurp that shit right up.

[0nirevets]

23. Oh for fuck sake

I'm sure this will be equally as effective as "thoughts and prayers" for shooting victims, because we all know God needs nitwits and religious frauds to remind him how to do his job.

[mwf]

24. Meantime, while praying, he hopes to cash in on the vaccine being worked on in Germany

This is from a German newspaper, cited in dw:

Germany and US wrestle over coronavirus vaccine: report

[MFGsunny]

41. MF45 showing himself for EXACTLY the charlatan and grifter he is.

When they first tell you who they are, believe them.

[skypilot]

25. Isn't Sunday already a day of prayer for lots of people?

[RussBLib]

26. aw, Trump is SUCH a man of God

Like you wouldn't believe.

[gab13by13]

27. Is this the Onion?

Trump is praying today in Virginia on the golf course that no one sees him move his ball.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. Well shucks. There goes America's National Day of Shopping and Eating Out.

Next, he and Mike will mail out Bibles to all Americans.....

[Nitram]

29. Here we go again: "Thoughts and Prayers."

[captain jack]

30. And free Miracle Spring Water for all! WARNING:Side effect includes receiving $65k checks. nt

[TomVilmer]

31. ... and in Denmark all churches are now closed!

[snort]

32. Here's my prayer

FUCK YOU

[flibbitygiblets]

33. Weirdly, this is the closest thing to "reassuring a panicked nation" that he's done so far

and even this divides people and smacks of desperation.

He knows he's losing his base, resorting to religion to gin up support

[bucolic_frolic]

34. We know what it is ... Pray Tanning

Don't believe he's got a conscience anywhere

[olddad65]

35. Everyone in the country should pray at the same for Trump to resign.

[Mr.Bill]

36. Prayers today?

Were we supposed to do thoughts yesterday?

[mercuryblues]

37. Oh. I'm praying alright.

[iwannaknow]

38. Does he mean the way they prayed while rearranging Titanic deck chairs?

[TygrBright]

39. Wow. Whoever heard of setting aside SUNDAY as a day to pray on! JEEEN-YUS! n/t

[olddad65]

40. Lol. Makes total sense coming from a man who...

Has no love (my synonym for god) in his heart. He only has fear, and it’s son, hatred in his cold black heart. Such a humble loving, prayerful man LOL.

[orangecrush]

42. ...

[stillcool]

43. you first donnie-do-nothing

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. And the lord thy God said

"Grab 'em by the pussy."

I mean spare me the sanctimonious bullshit.
