TRUMP: Thank you, Mark. So nice.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you very much, thank you. (APPLAUSE)

Thank you very much, it's a great honor to be here this morning. And so many faith leaders -- very, very important people to me -- from across our magnificent nation, and so many leaders from all across the globe. Today we continue a tradition begun by President Eisenhower some 64 years ago.

This gathering is a testament to the power of faith and is one of the great customs of our nation. And I hope to be here seven more times with you.

(APPLAUSE)

I want very much to thank our co-chair Senator Boozman and Senator Coons. And all of the congressional leadership; they're all over the place. We have a lot of very distinguished guests. And we have one guest who was just sworn in last night, Rex Tillerson, secretary of state.

(APPLAUSE)

Gonna do a great job.

(APPLAUSE)

Some people didn't like Rex because he actually got along with leaders of the world. I said, no, you have to understand that's a good thing. That's a good thing, not a bad thing. He's respected all over the world and I think he's going to go down as one of our great, great secretaries.

We appreciate it.

Thank you, thank you, Rex.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you as well to Senate Chaplain Barry Black, for his moving words. And I don't know Chaplain whether or not that's an appointed position -- is that an appointed position? I don't even know if you're Democrat or if you're Republican, but I'm appointing you for another year, the hell with it.

(LAUGHTER)

And I think it's not even my appointment, it's the Senate's appointment, but we'll talk to them. You're very -- you're -- your son is here. Your job is very, very secure. OK?

(LAUGHTER)

Thank you, Barry. Appreciate it very much.

I also want to thank my great friends the Roma. Where's Roma, beautiful Roma Downey, the voice of an angel. She's got the voice -- every time I hear that voice; it's so beautiful. That -- everything is so beautiful about Roma, including her husband because he's a special, special friend. Mark Burnett for the wonderful introduction.

So true, so true. I said to the agent, I'm sorry, the only thing wrong -- I actually got on the phone and fired him myself because he said, you don't want to do it, it'll never work, it'll never, ever work, you don't want to do it. I said, listen. When I really fired him after it became the number one show, it became so successful and he wanted a commission and he didn't want to this.

That's when I really said -- but we had tremendous success on The Apprentice. And when I ran for president, I had to leave the show. That's when I knew for sure that I was doing it. And they hired a big, big movie star, Arnold Schwarzenegger, to take my place. And we know how that turned out.

The ratings went down the tubes. It's been a total disaster and Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again. And I want to just pray for Arnold if we can, for those ratings, OK?

(LAUGHTER)

But we've had an amazing life together the last 14, 15 years. And a -- an outstanding man and thank you very much for introducing. Appreciate it. It's a great honor.

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: I also want to thank my dear friend, Vice President Mike Pence, who has been incredible.

(APPLAUSE)

And incredible wife, Karen.

And every time I was in a little trouble with something where they were questioning me, they'd say, "But he picked Mike Pence."

(LAUGHTER)

"So he has to know what he's doing."

(LAUGHTER)

And it's true, he's been -- you know on the scale of zero to 10, I rate him a 12, OK?

So I wanna thank you, thank you very much, appreciate it.

(APPLAUSE)

But most importantly, today I wanna thank the American people. Your faith and prayers have sustained me and inspired me through some very, very tough times. All around America, I have met amazing people whose words of worship and encouragement have been a constant source of strength.

What I hear most often as I travel the country are five words that never, ever fail to touch my heart, that's "I am praying for you." I hear it so often, I am praying for you, Mr. President.

(APPLAUSE)

No one has inspired me more in my travels than the families of the United States military. Men and women who have put their lives on the line everyday for their country and their countrymen. I just came back yesterday, from Dover Air Force Base, to join the family of Chief William "Ryan" Owens as America's fallen hero was returned home.

Very, very sad, but very, very beautiful, very, very beautiful. His family was there, incredible family, loved him so much, so devastated, he was so devastated, but the ceremony was amazing. He died in defense of our nation. He gave his life in defense of our people. Our debt to him and our debt to his family is eternal and everlasting. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

We will never forget the men and women who wear the uniform, believe me.

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

From generation to generation, their vigilance has kept our liberty alive. Our freedom is won by their sacrifice and our security has been earned with their sweat and blood and tears. God has blessed this land to give us such incredible heroes and patriots. They are very, very special and we are going to take care of them.

(APPLAUSE)

Our soldiers understand that what matters is not party or ideology or creed, but the bonds of loyalty that link us all together as one. America is a nation of believers. In towns all across our land, it's plain to see what we easily forget -- so easily we forget this, that the quality of our lives is not defined by our material success, but by our spiritual success.

I will tell you that and I tell you that from somebody that has had material success and knows tremendous numbers of people with great material success, the most material success. Many of those people are very, very miserable, unhappy people.

And I know a lot of people without that, but they have great families. They have great faith; they don't have money, at least, not nearly to the extent. And they're happy. Those, to me, are the successful people, I have to tell you.

(APPLAUSE)

TRUMP: I was blessed to be raised in a churched home. My mother and father taught me that to whom much is given, much is expected. I was sworn in on the very Bible from which my mother would teach us as young children, and that faith lives on in my heart every single day.

The people in this room come from many, many backgrounds. You represent so many religions and so many views. But we are all united by our faith, in our creator and our firm knowledge that we are all equal in His eyes. We are not just flesh and bone and blood, we are human beings with souls. Our republic was formed on the basis that freedom is not a gift from government, but that freedom is a gift from God.

(APPLAUSE)

It was the great Thomas Jefferson who said, the God who gave us life, gave us liberty. Jefferson asked, can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God. Among those freedoms is the right to worship according to our own beliefs. That is why I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution. I will do that, remember.

(APPLAUSE)

Freedom of religion is a sacred right, but it is also a right under threat all around us, and the world is under serious, serious threat in so many different ways. And I've never seen it so much and so openly as since I took the position of president.

The world is in trouble, but we're going to straighten it out. OK? That's what I do. I fix things. We're going to straighten it out.

(APPLAUSE)

Believe me. When you hear about the tough phone calls I'm having, don't worry about it. Just don't worry about it. They're tough. We have to tough. It's time we're going to be a little tough folks. We're taking advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It's not going to happen anymore. It's not going to happen anymore. We have seen unimaginable violence carried out in the name of religion. Acts of wantonness (ph) (inaudible) just minorities. Horrors on a scale that defy description.

Terrorism is a fundamental threat to religious freedom. It must be stopped and it will be stopped. It may not be pretty for a little while. It will be stopped. We have seen...

(APPLAUSE)

And by the way, General, as you know James "Mad Dog", shouldn't say it in this room, Mattis, now there's a reason they call him "Mad Dog" Mattis, never lost a battle, always wins them, and always wins them fast. He's our new secretary of Defense, will be working with Rex. He's right now in South Korea, going to Japan, going to some other spots. I'll tell you what, I've gotten to know him really well. He's the real deal. We have somebody who's the real deal working for us and that's what we need. So, you watch. You just watch.

(APPLAUSE)

Things will be different. We have seen peace loving Muslims brutalize, victimize, murdered and oppressed by ISIS killers. We have seen threats of extermination against the Jewish people. We have seen a campaign of ISIS and genocide against Christians, where they cut of heads. Not since the Middle Ages have we seen that. We haven't seen that, the cutting off of heads. Now they cut off the heads, they drown people in steel cages. Haven't seen this. I haven't seen this. Nobody's seen this for many, many years.

TRUMP: All nations have a moral obligation to speak out against such violence. All nations have a duty to work together to confront it and to confront it viciously if we have to.

So I want to express clearly today, to the American people, that my administration will do everything in its power to defend and protect religious liberty in our land. America must forever remain a tolerant society where all face are respected and where all of our citizens can feel safe and secure.

We have to feel safe and secure. In recent days, we have begun to take necessary action to achieve that goal. Our nation has the most generous immigration system in the world. But these are those and there are those that would exploit that generosity to undermine the values that we hold so dear. We need security.

There are those who would seek to enter our country for the purpose of spreading violence, or oppressing other people based upon their faith or their lifestyle, not right. We will not allow a beachhead of intolerance to spread in our nation. You look all over the world and you see what's happening.

So in the coming days, we will develop a system to help ensure that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty. And that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination. We want people to come into our nation, but we want people to love us and to love our values, not to hate us and to hate our values.

We will be a safe country, we will be a free country and we will be a country where all citizens can practice their beliefs without fear of hostility or a fear of violence. America will flourish, as long as our liberty, and in particular, our religious liberty is allowed to flourish.

(APPLAUSE)

America will succeed, as long as our most vulnerable citizens -- and we have some that are so vulnerable -- have a path to success. And America will thrive, as long as we continue to have faith in each other and faith in God.

(APPLAUSE)

That faith in God has inspired men and women to sacrifice for the needy, to deploy to wars overseas and to lock arms at home, to ensure equal rights for every man, woman and child in our land. It's that faith that sent the pilgrims across the oceans, the pioneers across the plains and the young people all across America, to chase their dreams. They are chasing their dreams. We are going to bring those dreams back.

As long as we have God, we are never, ever alone. Whether it's the soldier on the night watch, or the single parent on the night shift, God will always give us solace and strength, and comfort. We need to carry on and to keep carrying on.

For us here in Washington, we must never, ever stop asking God for the wisdom to serve the public, according to his will. That's why...

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you.

(APPLAUSE)

That's why President Eisenhower and Senator Carlson had the wisdom to gather together 64 years ago, to begin this truly great tradition. But that's not all they did together. Lemme tell you the rest of the story.

Just one year later, Senator Carlson was among the members of Congress to send to the president's desk a joint resolution that added, "Under God," to our Pledge of Allegiance. It's a great thing.

(APPLAUSE)

Because that's what we are and that is what we will always be and that is what our people want; one beautiful nation, under God.

Thank you, God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Donald Trump gave a doozy of a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast - Washington Post

President Donald Trump (L), holds an African American History Month listening session attended by nominee to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson (R) and other officials in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on Feb. 1, 2017 in Washington, D.C.Michael ReynoldsPool/Getty Images

Ideas

Smiley is host and managing editor of Tavis Smiley on PBS and author of 50 for Your Future: Lessons From Down the Road

My grandfather used to always remind me: There was a really good reason I have one mouth, but two ears.

Curiously, this weeks bizarre event at the White House was billed as an African American History Month Listening Session . But, as usual, Donald Trump did more talking than listening.

I tried to watch Trumps Black History Month speech. Honestly, I did. But I couldnt take it. Too cringey, too coarse, too caustic.

Black folk have already been saddled with the shortest and coldest month of the year in which to celebrate such a rich heritag e!

So, why would Donald Trump co-opt a Black History Month program by pontificating yet again about media bias , and then reprise his hollow and feigned complaint about the crisis condition of life in communities of color at a black history celebration , no less.

Ill tell you why. Because Donald Trump cares only about himself. He doesnt care about you; he doesnt care about me; he doesnt care about who Sylvester Stewart (better known as Sly Stone) meant by "Everyday People."

Since I cant get inside his head or his heart, Ill stop short of saying he doesnt care about the country (like they suggested about Obama). But if you and I are America, and the arrogance of his actions prove time and again that he really doesnt care about us , then, well...

Apparently, Trump doesnt understand what this Black History Month thing is all about. L et me try. For me, there are at least three primary reasons we make time for this annual observance.

One, to invite fellow citizens to wrestle with the DuBoisian question, Would America have been America without her Negro people? ( No! ) Now, this question can surely be answered without casting aspersion on any other beloved community, but can you imagine an America without the historical contributions of Harriett Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglass, Louis Armstrong, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Thurgood Marshall, Charles Drew, Muhammad Ali, Katherine Johnson, Paul Robeson...? The list goes on and on.

Its not an America I would want to inhabit, or be proud to call home.

And by the way, his recent meeting with the eldest son of King notwithstanding, Trump needs to keep Kings name out of his mouth, unless and until hes ready to use his high office to confront the triple-threat that King warned us about fifty years ago: racism, poverty and militarism.

Two, Black History Month reminds us annually that we are sitting in the shade under trees that we did not plant, water or grow. None of us walks alone. Each of us is part of a continuum. We owe a debt to our ancestors that we can never repay, and we are mindful that, as the author Terry Tempest Williams wrote, The eyes of the future are looking back at us, and praying for us to see beyond our own time.

Three, the struggle, sacrifice and service to the nation rendered by our foremothers and forefathers reminds us that we have come to love this country in spite of, not because of. In spite of it all, our ancestors stood tall, bodies bloodied but heads unbowed. We are reminded that if we are to do our part to make America a nation that will one day be as good as its promise, we, too, must stand.

The aforementioned Sly Stone released a song in 1969 called " Stand ." It goes:

Stand! In the end youll still be you, one thats done all the things you set out to do. Stand! Theres a cross for you to bear, things to go through if youre going anywhere. Stand! For the things you know are right, its the truth that the truth makes them so uptight. Stand! All the things you want are real, you have to complete and there is no deal. Stand! Youve been sitting much too long, theres a permanent crease in your right and wrong. Stand! Theres a midget standing tall, and a giant beside him about to fall. Stand! They will try to make you crawl, and they know what youre saying makes sense and all. Stand! Dont you know that you are free, well at least in your mind if you want to be.

The B-side of "Stand" was the mega-hit "I Want To Take You Higher! " At our best, the tradition of black people in America is to be the conscience of this country, to help lift our nation higher. We are happy to assume that role yet again, and to tell President Trump during Black History Month, on behalf of millions of fellow citizens all across America, what we intend to do for the next four years...

Stand.

Donald Trump Co-Opted Black History Month and Got It All Wrong - TIME

WASHINGTON House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she would eagerly back legislation requiring President Donald Trump to take a mental exam.

A version of the idea was first put forward by Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He told the Washington Post editorial boardlast week he wasnt talking about some of the rhetoric thats flying around about Trump, but, If youre going to have your hands on the nuclear codes, you should probably know what kind of mental state youre in.

Pelosi echoed that thought at her press briefing on Thursday. I cant wait until he introduces that legislation, to be able to join him as co-sponsor of that, she said. I think its a very good idea.

Steadfast opponents of Trump have been citing his mental health even before the election as a reason to remove him from office. The 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution stipulates that a president may be removed by a two-thirds vote of Congress if members of the executive branch determine he is unable to discharge his duties. That particular section of the amendment has never been deployed to depose a president, though when Howard Baker Jr. became President Ronald Reagans chief of staff, hewas warned that he may need to invoke it, given Reagans deteriorating condition. Baker determined it was ultimately unnecessary, and that Reagan was fit to serve out his term.

An aide to Chaffetz said the bill would apply to presidential candidates in the future. (Trump has already filed for re-election.)

Removing Trump would make Vice President Mike Pence, who has strong backing on Capitol Hill, president. Thats a scenario some Trump backers have long dreaded, but always assumed it would come through impeachment instead.

Ann Coulter, a strong Trump backer during the campaign, slammed the choice of Pence as a running mate when he was chosen, warning that it heightened the risk hed be removed for an establishment-friendly president.

If Trump chooses a vice president who supports cheap labor for the donor class, how long before both parties decide to impeach President Trump? Coulter wondered. If the consultants prevail with Trump [and he chooses Pence], our only hope is that the conventional wisdom about vice presidents being irrelevant is correct at least for the six months of a Trump presidency before impeachment.

Nancy Pelosi Suggests Donald Trump Get His Mental Health Checked - Huffington Post

National Security Advisor Michael Flynn is stacking the National Security Council with friends of the Trump administration in a move insiders fear will create a wall between President Trump and the intelligence community.

Flynns appointments announcedThursday, according to a Politico report include David Cattler, a former Defense Intelligence Agency official; John Eisenberg, a former Justice Department official; Kenneth Juster, a former Commerce and State Department official; and Kevin Harrington, a formermanaging director and head of research for the global macro hedge fund Thiel Macro LLC which was owned by Trump friend Peter Thiel.

Cattler will specialize in regional affairs, Eisenberg will be the NSCs top legal adviser, Juster will oversee economic policy, and Harrington will be in charge of strategic planning.

All four of these new appointments have the title of deputy assistant to the president.

A White House spokesman told Politico that the goal was to reduce the size of Flynns staff so as torun a very precise and orderly and quick process, but multiple sources told Politico that staffers that theywereconcerned this organization structure will lead to an insular policymaking process within the White House.

This isnt the first time that reports have leaked about federal staffers and policymakers being displeased with how the Trump administration is conducting himself. Many talk with Obamas recently-departed personnel over how they can resist the presidents initiatives or created social media accounts to anonymously leak their dissatisfaction with the new presidents policies and actions, according to a report by The Washington Post on Tuesday. These developments among State Department employees prompted Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, to say that they should either get with the program, or they can go.

Donald Trump is freezing out National Security Council experts: report - Salon

Donald Trump soaks up the crowd at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.

By Win McNamee/Getty Images.

Long before he embarked on the ultimate ego trip, leveraging his celebrity to seize the highest levels of political power, Donald Trump spent decades obsessed with appearances. An outer-borough boy from Queens who grew up longing to make his name in Manhattan, Trump flecked his every home with gold, bleached his teeth, and blew out his hair in a gaudy simulacrum of wealth. He called gossip pages and other reporters, adopting a fictitious P.R. persona, to give scoops about himself, hoping to see his name in print. He ran beauty pageants and created his own reality show where he could star. Like a modern-day Midas, he branded everything he touched, and licensed his name so that entire stretches of Manhattans West side would bear the words TRUMP, spelled out in three foot-high golden letters, reflecting across the Hudson River. He did interview after interview picking apart the appearances of foes and friends alikeextolling the attractiveness of his own daughter, for one, while calling Rosie ODonnell a fat pig.

Americans witnessed this childish display throughout the 2016 campaign and, it seems, his fans approved. They cheered his rhetorical assault on the establishment, the status quo, bien-pensant thinking and sensibilities. Trumps core support never wavered, even when he ripped into the looks of Alicia Machado, or dismissed allegations of sexual harassment by claiming his accusers were not attractive enough to warrant his attention, or when he retweeted an image contrasting a less-than-flattering photo of Ted Cruzs wife with a stunning shot of his wife, Melania (his third spouse, all three of whom were former models).

This translates into a fixation on how Trump himself is perceived, too. Thats why he could not stop talking about how well he was doing in polls and how many people showed up to his rallies. Its why he insisted that Mexicans loved him even as he called them rapists and repeatedly promised to build a wall to keep bad hombres out of the United States. Only Trump alone would be able to save the American people from the dismal picture he painted of the state of the nation, because he was the smartest, the best deal-maker, the most respected, he would say. Perhaps this is why, too, as his doctor admitted in a recent interview with The New York Times, Trump takes a prostate-related drug, Propecia, to ward off male-pattern baldness.

Old habits die hard, particularly for 70-year-old billionaires, which is why, even with the nuclear football tucked under his arm and the weight of the free world on his shoulders, Trump remains deeply concerned about the visuals of his presidency. According to a new report from Axios, sources close to Trump noted that the president chose his Cabinet nominees based, in part, on who best looked the part (General James Mattis and his strut got the nomination over General David Petraeus, who Trump noted to aides was quite short). He expects his staff to wear tiesthe wider the betterand the women who work for him to dress like women, which often means pressure to wear dresses.

Donald Trump is far from the first narcissist infatuated with optics to work in Washington. But the magnitude of both his position and his attention to appearance while in that role is stunning. On the first morning he woke up in the White House, for instance, he reportedly personally called Park Services in order to discuss photos they posted of the size of his inaugural crowds. That same day, he used his speech at C.I.A. headquarters to again talk about how many people came out to watch him take the oath of office, and he sent his press secretary Sean Spicer into the White House briefing room to falsely claim that it was the most-watched inauguration in history. (Trump was reportedly furious with Spicer afterward, not because he blatantly lied to the American people or stormed out of the room, but because he did not approve of his ill-fitting suit, pin-striped suit.)

Trump continued to focus on superficial details and perceived slights as his presidency entered its second week, even as his hastily-written executive order restricting travel from seven majority-Muslim countries provoked mass protests in the U.S., confusion within his own agencies, and outrage around the world. When he had the chance to talk to Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull on Saturday, he boasted about his electoral college win and ended the call early after clashing over a refugee resettlement agreement,The Washington Post reported. On Wednesday, he turned a brief speech commemorating the start of Black History Month into a rant against the media, particularly CNN, which he called fake news. And at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday morning, Trump joked onstage that we should be praying for Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ratings for The Apprentice, the reality show the former California governor took over when Trump stepped down from the gig.

While Trump seems to care a great deal about his electoral win and his crowds and his ratings, he does not appear to give that same attention to keeping key allies, advisers, and partners in his good graces. Both Rex Tillerson, who was sworn in as secretary of state on Wednesday, and Department of Homeland Security chief John Kelly were reportedly upset with the president for not giving them enough time to review Trumps immigration order before he signed it on Friday. On a call with Mexican president Enrique Pea Nieto last week, after Trump blew up their planned meeting with a series of tweets about the country paying for his planned wall at the border, Business Insider reports that Trump was offensive, told him that he was going to pay for the wall whether he liked it or not, and threatened to use military force to fight the drug trade if they couldnt handle it themselves (both sides have called the phone conversation friendly). A source told me last week that the canceled meeting infuriated Trumps usually unflappable son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner, who had spent a full day brokering it.

Political observers have long hoped that Trump might rise above his insecurities now that he understands the grave responsibilities of the presidency, with all its attendant briefings on secret intelligence and sobering insights into national security. Yet, Trump does not seem to be sweating this big stuff. Instead, he seems to be becoming smaller, and more petulant, every day. Spicers tie, the number of people who watched his Supreme Court nomination announcement, these get under his skin. Alienating and prematurely hanging up on a critical American ally trying to talk about Syrian refugees? Who has time for that when there are Apprentice ratings to poke fun of and cable news pundits, talking about him, to watch?
