Trump Does Not Pray [View all]

I am watching the National Prayer Service and note that Trump never bows his head nor does he close his eyes during a prayer. When a response is called for, he does not read the congregational response that is printed in the service program. He did not sing much suring the service.

Very disrespectful and inappropriate for someone who claims to be such a avowed Christian!
