WHAT SEEMS LIKE KIND OF MAYBE IS THE FINAL RESULTS IN THE IOWA
CAUCUS, ALTHOUGH THERE’S STILL
SOME ISSUES ABOUT THAT.
WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH THE SINGLE
MOST IMPORTANT WORD THAT DONALD
TRUMP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.
DONALD TRUMP HAS THE MOST
LIMITED VOCABULARY THAN ANYONE
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
PRESIDENCY.
PRESIDENCY. AND SO THERE ARE MANY WORDS
DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT
UNDERSTAND.
UNDERSTAND. BUT THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT
WORD DONALD TRUMP DOES NOT
UNDERSTAND IS ONE WE ALL
UNDERSTAND.
UNDERSTAND. IT’S A CONCEPT PREVERBALAL
BABIES UNDERSTAND EVEN BEFORE
THEY CAN SAY THE WORD BECAUSE
BABIES CAN FEEL THIS THING THAT
DONALD TRUMP SO OBVIOUSLY DOES
NOT FEEL, AND VERY SADLY FOR HIM
IT’S POSSIBLE THAT HE HAS NEVER
FELT THIS IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE.
LOVE.
LOVE. LOVE IS THE SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT WORD THAT DONALD TRUMP
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, AND HE
PROVED THAT TODAY MORE THAN ONCE
IN THE MOST PERVERSE POSSIBLE
PUBLIC DISPLAYS OF IGNORANCE BY
A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS IN OUR HISTORY.
I KNOW WE’VE SAID THAT BEFORE,
BUT WE MEAN IT TONIGHT.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST
IRRELIGIOUS MAN IN THE HISTORY
OF THE PRESIDENCY AND CURRENTLY
THE MOST IRRELIGIOUS MAN IN
WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. AND HE USED THE NATIONAL PRAYER
BREAKFAST TO ATTACK MITT ROMNEY
WHO IS PROBABLY THE MOST RE
RELIGIOUS MAN IN WASHINGTON.
DONALD TRUMP WHO HAS SAID HE’S
NEVER PRAYED FOR FORGIVENESS FOR
ANYTHING USED THE NATIONAL
PRAYER BREAKFAST TO ATTACK NANCY
PELOSI FOR PRAYING.
MOST OF YOU PROBABLY ALREADY
KNOW THAT BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN
WELL REPORTED TODAY.
WHAT HAS NOT BEEN AS WELL
REPORTED IS WHAT DONALD TRUMP
LISTENED TO RIGHT BEFORE HE GOT
UP TO SPEAK.
HARVARD PROFESSOR ARTHUR BROOKS
WAS THE SPEAKER BEFORE DONALD
TRUMP, AND HIS THEME WAS HOW TO
COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU
DISAGREE WITH POLITICALLY.
>> IF YOU WANT TO PERSUADE THEM,
WHICH YOU SHOULD, YOU CAN ONLY
DO IT ONE WAY AND THAT’S WITH
LOVE.
LOVE. IT WAS NOT AN APPLAUSE LINE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. FINALLY.
FINALLY. THE APPLAUSE I’VE BEEN WAITING
SO LONG FOR.
>> LIKE MOST PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM
ARTHUR BROOKS IS A CONSERVATIVE,
A POLITICAL CONSERVATIVE.
AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
CONCEPT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE, WHICH
IS WHY HE EXPECTED TO GET
APPLAUSE FOR THAT LINE.
BUT HE DIDN’T BECAUSE EVERYONE
THERE WAS PROBABLY VERY NERVOUS
ABOUT HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THAT
LINE MADE DONALD TRUMP, AND THEN
EVERYONE REALIZED THEY’RE GOING
HAVE TO APPLAUD FOR CHRISTIAN
LOVE AT THE PRAYER BREAKFAST,
AND SO THEY DID.
BUT ONE PERSON DIDN’T -- DONALD
TRUMP.
TRUMP. HE DIDN’T JUST NOT APPLAUD THE
CONCEPT OF LOVING THY NEIGHBOR
HE HAD TO PHYSICALLY TURN AROUND
FROM THE MAN WHO WAS SAYING IT.
THERE WAS MORE.
>> ASK GOD TO GIVE YOU THE
STRENGTH TO GO AGAINST YOUR
HUMAN NATURE, TO FOLLOW JESUS’
TEACHING.
TEACHING. YOU BELIEVE JESUS’ TEACHING ACT
LIKE IT, ME TOO.
TO LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
ASK GOD TO TAKE POLITICAL
CONTEMPT FROM YOUR HEART.
AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT’S JUST TOO
HARD, ASK GOD TO HELP YOU FAKE
IT.
IT. >> LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
DONALD TRUMP DOESN’T KNOW THAT
THAT WAS JESUS CHRIST’S IDEA.
TAKE CONTEMPT FROM YOUR HEART.
WHAT WOULD BE LEFT IN DONALD
TRUMP’S HEART IF THERE WERE NO
CONTEMPT?
CONTEMPT? AND IF THAT’S TOO HARD TO DO
THEN FAKE IT.
DONALD TRUMP HAS FAKED A LOT OF
THINGS BUT HE COULDN’T FAKE THAT
NOT EVEN TODAY AT A PRAYER
BREAKFAST WHERE THE SPEAKER
RIGHT BEFORE HIM SUGGESTED TO
HIM, URGED HIM TO AT LEAST TRY
TO FAKE BEING A GOOD PERSON FOR
ONCE, AT LEAST TRY TO FAKE THAT
HE UNDERSTOOD THE CHRISTIAN
CONCEPT OF LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
IT WAS AS IF ARTHUR BROOKS WAS
GIVING THAT SPEECH TO THAT
AUDIENCE OF ONE SITTING TO HIS
RIGHT AND DONALD TRUMP
DEFINITELY HEARD THE SPEECH.
HE WAS LISTENING ENOUGH TO GIVE
HIS OPINION.
HIS OPINION. HE WAS LISTENING ENOUGH TO
AD-LIB HIS REACTION TO ARTHUR
BROOKS’ CONCEPT OF CHRISTIAN
LOVE WHEN HE GOT UP TO SPEAK.
>> ARTHUR, I DON’T KNOW IF I
AGREE WITH YOU.
BUT I DON’T KNOW IF ARTHUR’S
GOING TO LIKE WHAT I’M GOING TO
SAY.
SAY. >> WE CAN BE VERY SURE THAT
ARTHUR DIDN’T LIKE WHAT DONALD
TRUMP HAD TO SAY.
BUT WHAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T
UNDERSTAND WAS THAT HE WASN’T
DISAGREEING WITH ARTHUR BROOKS.
HE WAS DISAGREEING WITH JESUS
CHRIST.
CHRIST. ARTHUR BROOKS WAS ONLY QUOTING
JESUS CHRIST SAYING LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBORS, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
EVERYONE IN THE ROOM KNEW THAT
EXCEPT DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP GOT UP AT THE
NATIONAL PRAYER BREAKFAST TODAY
AND THE VERY FIRST THING HE DID
WAS DISAGREE WITH JESUS CHRIST.
AND HE PROVED HOW MUCH HE
DISAGREES WITH JESUS CHRIST WHEN
HE LET HIS HATRED OF NANCY
PELOSI FLOW AND HIS HATRED OF
MITT ROMNEY FLOW.
>> I DON’T LIKE PEOPLE WHO USE
THEIR FAITH AS JUST A VACATION
FOR
FOR JUSTIFICATION FOR DOING WHAT
THEY KNOW IS WRONG.
NOR DO I LIKE PEOPLE WHO SAY I
PRAY FOR YOU WHEN THEY KNOW THAT
THAT’S NOT SO.
>> STUNNED SILENCE.
THAT WAS THE REACTION IN THAT
ROOM FULL OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
WHO PRAY EVERY DAY, ALL OF WHOM
KNOW NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP
DOESN’T KNOW WHAT PRAYER IS,
THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS NEVER
TAUGHT TO PRAY FOR HIS ENEMIES
AS NANCY PELOSI WAS WHEN SHE WAS
A LITTLE GIRL GROWING UP IN A
CATHOLIC CHURCH IN BALTIMORE.
IT SEEMS DONALD TRUMP WAS NEVER
TAUGHT ANYTHING ABOUT LOVE
BECAUSE LATER AT THE WHITE HOUSE
WHEN HE SPENT AN HOUR RAGING
AGAINST HIS IMPEACHMENT ENEMIES
AND PRAISING HIS IMPEACHMENT
ALLIES, DONALD TRUMP SAID ONE OF
THE SADDEST THINGS HE HAS EVER
PUBLICLY SAID, HE WAS PRAISING
HIS REPUBLICAN ALLY, CONGRESSMAN
STEVE SCALISE WHO WAS SHOT BY A
DERANGED MAN WITH A GUN DURING
THE ANNUAL CONGRESSIONAL
BASEBALL GAME, AND DONALD TRUMP
DESCRIBED ENCOUNTERING STEVE
SCALISE’S WIFE AT THE HOSPITAL.
>> HE GOT WHACKED.
HE GOT WHACKED, MY STEVE, RIGHT?
I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH OUR
GREAT FIRST LADY THAT NIGHT,
RIGHT, HONEY?
RIGHT, HONEY? AND WE SAW A MAN WHO WAS NOT
GOING TO MAKE IT.
HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT --
HE WAS -- THE DOCTOR -- AND TOLD
HIM HIS WIFE SHE SAYS SHE LOVES
YOU.
YOU. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE SHE
WAS DEVASTATED.
WAS DEVASTATED. A LOT OF WIVES WOULDN’T GIVE A
DAMN.
DAMN. A LOT OF WIVES -- A LOT OF WIVES
WOULD HAVE SAID, HEY, YEAH.
I SAID HOW’S HE DOING, SHE
COULDN’T TALK, SHE WAS
INCONSOLABLE.
INCONSOLABLE. MOST WIVES WOULD SAY NOT GOOD.
I’M GOING HOME.
>> MOST WIVE SNZS?
DOES HE MEAN AT LEAST TWO OF HIS
OR ALL OF HIS WOULDN’T CARE IF
HE GOT SHOT?
WHERE ELSE COULD THAT THOUGHT
COME FROM?
COME FROM? IT COULD ONLY COME FROM A MAN
WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS TO
LOVE OR BE LOVED.
DONALD TRUMP DEMONSTRATED TODAY
HE HAS NO COMPREHENSION OF THE
CONCEPT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE OR
ROMANTIC LOVE OR MARITAL LOVE,
AND HE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT NOTHING
WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT HIS
DEALINGS WITH UKRAINE AND HIS
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE WITH
MUELLER INVESTIGATION OR HIS
PAYING OFF OF STORMY DANIELS.
NONE OF THAT IS AS PERVERSE AS
WHAT DONALD TRUMP REVEALED ABOUT
HIMSELF TODAY.
HIMSELF TODAY. HE DOES NOT NOW, NEVER HAS AND
NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND THE WORD
LOVE, AND SO HE FEELS NOTHING
WHEN HE SEPARATES CHILDREN FROM
THEIR PARENTS AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
BORDER. HE FEELS NOTHING WHEN HE
ABANDONS THE KURDS.
HE FEELS NOTHING WHEN HE’S TOLD
THAT 64 SOLDIERS ARE TRAUMATIC
BRAIN INJURY FROM THE IRANIAN
MISSILE ATTACK ON OUR TROOPS IN
IRAQ.
IRAQ. HE FEELS NOTHING ABOUT ANY OF
THOSE THINGS AND CAN LIE AND HAS
LIED ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
DONALD TRUMP FEELS NO SHAME AT
BEING IMPEACHED BY THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVE.
REPRESENTATIVE. HE FEELS NO SHAME AT BEING FOUND
GUILTY BY 48 UNITED STATES
SENATORS INCLUDING THE FIRST
SENATOR IN HISTORY TO FIND A
PRESIDENT OF HIS OWN PARTY
GUILTY IN A SENATE IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL.
TRIAL. DONALD TRUMP FEELS NO GUILT, HE
HAS NEVER FELT GUILT FOR
ANYTHING.
ANYTHING. DONALD TRUMP FEELS NO
EMBARRASSMENT AT BEING UNABLE TO
COMPREHEND ANYTHING ABOUT THE
CONCEPT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE THAT
WAS LAID OUT FOR HIM TODAY
BEFORE HE GOT UP TO SPEAK AT A
PRAYER BREAKFAST.
PRAYER BREAKFAST. THE MOST DANGEROUS THING ABOUT
THE MOST DANGEROUS PRESIDENT
THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD
