This is a very interesting speech by a Catholic. He spoke about the feeling of contempt expressed by people of those with different political beliefs. He talked about loving your enemies. Watch Trump's body language.I am sure he spent some time looking at his phone. Humility is not something Trump seems able to express.

Can't wait to hear the latest excuses for the comments at that breakfast. This is god's vessel.

He will not lose any evangelical support, because the people who support him are hollow hypocrites.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Kevin Kruse’s book One Nation Under God discusses the history of the National Prayer Breakfast. The history is pretty interesting. https://www.amazon.com/One-Nation-Under ... /ref=nodl_
