Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

A basic element of Christianity. Lost on the fake Xians ruining the nation. STFU already about your false piety.

These days of holy week you ponder in penitential prayer and worship your sins and the sacrifice made for them. Loud prayer and amens? Probably not

Those who loudly proclaim their so called faith for public approval or public funds (talking about YOU, Paula White) while practicing none of Christ’s teachings.

Not “as” or “with fellow”? Sometimes language use is revealing. Maybe not here, but I’m guessing there haven’t been a lot of amens in Trump or the First Lady’s lives. Beyond that, the pandering to their base through religion is still alarming.

It’s not how many or how often. It’s how sincere.

She is risking getting "thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned" after all is said and done.
