    So did I. But if you are nervously saying it into a microphone in front of a crowd of thousands and simultaneously being broadcast around the world - might be smart to read it off a card. Just sayin!

    Not trying to question her faith, but wouldn't you think someone who regularly says the Lord's Prayer wouldn't need to read it off of a piece of paper.

    Seems really easy for the Left to get their panties in a twist... maybe that's what's REALLY bothering them!

    At least they have morals to ignore and feel guilty about...not like SOME who don't even know what is right and what is wrong.

    My cousin was there. I don't agree with her politics but she's a lot smarter than most Trumpies here.

    I was replying to YOUR post where you said...Only idiots pay taxes. neither my post nor the OP is about taxes and, you didn't answer my question....Are you seriously implying that people who pay taxes are 'idiots?'

    Hilarious that she actually had to read it.

    Yep, my attempt at humor. Seemed like something one of the talking heads at CNN would say.

    She's been a permanent resident since 2001 and a citizen since 2006.

    Does she only go to churches that speak foreign languages during worship?

    For that matter, is there any evidence that she even attended church before Fake President Trump ran for office?

    Reading from a card doesn't mean you don't know it.
    I don't think you are the one to make that judgment.

    Apparently 'morals' are highly subjective and not necessarily dependent on one's religion as the so-called "Christian" right-wingers demonstrate on a daily basis.

    Calm down; I was answering this post:

    And, once again, my reply was that your own President explained that he didn't pay taxes, since he isn't stupid. What that makes of you (if you indeed pay taxes)? Yep - an idiot, like most hard-working Yanks. That's not me saying it so give me a break.

    You wanted to feign outrage that a poster (to whom you adressed the above comment) would qualify your community as idiotic, yet when it come fromTrump it's honesty and you rejoice, am I right?

    Taxes my arse. Don't let the trees block you view of the forest.

    Donald Trump never said he doesn't pay taxes.

    Still the question remains unanswered...do you think people who pay taxes are idiots? Keep in mind that your claim that Trump doesn't pay taxes is a direct polar opposite of what you are claiming. Are you confused or something?

    Which morals do you feel are 'highly subjective?'

    It was painful to watch and she hates public speaking because of her heavy European accent. I think it's time for her to speak fluent American English like Maria Sharapova. Melania could hire a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to improve her English pronunciation and I went through the phase, too.

    How she worships is her own business and her accent doesn't bother me at all. The fact that it causes you concern say a great deal about the hypocrisy of leftists.

    I normally presume people who pray, do so sincerely and with conviction whether they do so publicly or not, but that does not mean I am impressed by the fact that they pray. This is nothing to snear about as a stunt, and nothing to brag about as accomplishing anything.

    She can lead a prayer in Melbourne or not, I just don't care either way.

    I wonder if it was the two Corinthians that typed up the card for her to read from.

    A prayer that I say regularly I don't really need to read from a card. Well who is you? Besides I am not making a judgement, I am just giving my opinion.

    The woman stumbled over a prayer that even I as an atheist have memorized even with the damn thing printed in front of her, looked terribly uncomfortable and likely had never read it before speaking it. If Trump were moderately intelligent he would allow her to stay inside as she obviously wants.

    Oh...by the way....she ain't all that, I've seen her naked.

    Exactly. That was my point, it is a prayer most of us learned in Sunday School as kids.

    Well, it would seem that Muslims and Jews aren't welcome anymore.

    Or not worship at all if she chooses, that's fine. What's not fine is the cynical way Trump approaches Christianity and too many fall for it, the man is no more a Christian than Stalin was. I truly feel sorry for her for having to participate in it.
