Watch As President* Trump Solicits Praise From Evangelical Leaders At Oval Office Event
Some people think the likes of Ralph Reed, Robert Jeffress , Paula White, and Gary Bauer represent the best of America's religious tradition. Others think such a group represents intolerance and self-importance.
Trump gathered this group in the Oval Office and went around the group trolling for praise. They did not let him down.
I didnt see a Catholic priest or a rabbi in the group, so they may not count, or maybe they just didnt want to be there.

So, remember that one time when President Donald Trump held a Cabinet meeting and everyone at the table outdid themselves when it came to heaping praise on POTUS? Well, we got a similar situation today during a signing ceremony in the Oval Office in which Trump had a bunch of religious leaders surround him and profusely thank the president for his response to Hurricane Harvey.
With the president proclaiming that this coming Sunday will be a day of prayer for Harvey victims, he began going around the room and calling on different faith leaders to give remarks. And, wouldn’t you know, they all tripped over each other to express their gratitude for all the president had done so far.
After he was finished going around the room to get his praise, Trump turned it over to Pastor (and Fox News contributor) Robert Jeffress to lead the room in prayer, with some placing their hands on the president.
“And we thank you that the president had the wisdom to call our nation right now for a day of prayer this weekend,” Jeffress preached. “This is what we need.”
He added in his prayer that Trump wanted to “bring healing to this country” and that he is doing that.
Following the mass gratitude and prayer, Trump was asked by reporters what his thoughts were on the reports he was ending DACA. He answered that “we love the DREAMers, we love everybody.”

Another revolting spectacle from our "leader".
The woman in red with the botoxed lips and the semi-bad plastic surgery is Paula White, Trump's spiritual adviser. She is known for fleecing money from her flock.
Robert Jeffress , the one who leads a prayer, is known as a virulent anti-Catholic bigot.
I find it quite amazing that Jefferies and White are in the position that they are in. There are many religious leaders in this country that are ''real'' religious leaders. White and Jefferies are not close to being in that group.
Jeffress was Trump's right hand man here Kavika. And White was next to him.
I should add that Jeffress is a homophobic bigot too, and also implied that President Obama was connected to the anti-christ.
Pastor: Obama is paving the way for the Antichrist | The State
Already no stranger to controversy, the Rev. Robert Jeffress , a Dallas megachurch pastor, is coming out with a book that claims President Barack Obama is clearing the .
It is likely that all Trump heard was we want to thank you blah blah blah blah.
I think it was planned that way, lol.
He never ceases to amaze.
Give me a break! Who doesn't want to hear praise after all the shit he has had to content with?
I don't care if her lips are purple!
To change the subject.....ooops, sorry I can't.
