Did our president really just ask attendees to pray for improved ratings for The Apprentice during his appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast? I've watched the clip several times now, and I still can't wrap my head around it. Truly a head-smacking moment.
It wasn't funny because he didn't mean it to be. It was just another bragging statement. He wanted to point out the show he is still making money from, is down in ratings because he's no longer on it. Its a win for him either way. This will pull in more viewers and more cash for him, or his fans can rejoice in the fact the show can't make it without him.
I find it disturbing that the US president is joking/taunting with his show's ratings (he's the producer still) when a US soldier got killed with a buncha civilians, including kids.

I am disturbed by it, too. Alarming how little empathy or understanding this buffoon seems to have. It's highly disturbing. He only cares about himself and his own family (although I'm not sure his wife is even on that list at this point.) Everyone else is expendable.
And the time to even the score was at the National Prayer Breakfast? This is not middle school, NxtGen! He is our president, and he needs to stop acting like every public appearance is an appropriate setting for him to pull out his member and prove how big it is. (Sorry, but there's really no other way to describe this nonsense.) BTW, I saw this story and the clip on The Hill, a conservative news site, and then watched the entire recorded speech to ensure I understood the context. Is that what you consider propaganda?
Yeah, let me just think on your comment.
You have NO damn leg to stand on.
The hypocrisy, the pure BS about "how a president should act!"
FFS it is like you people were born yesterday and didn't have any clue of Obama's presidency.
Look...
Go back to sleep, your complaints are seen for the partisan BS they are.

Goodness, I'm sure you felt the same way when Obama was playing golf after similar incidents. As long as you're consistent, then fine. If not, then you're just a hypocrite.
Me? I still think it was a standard speech with the standard joke which fell flat. I'm not overreading this thing like some of y'all are.
I suppose Spicer and Kellyanne are going to claim it was actually Obama's joke and that Trump just told it.
