There are lots of people close to me who need my prayers. There are lots of children who are very ill/with terminal illnesses who need prayers. If it's alright with you I'll prioritise them first. Donald Trump and his wife can wait their turn.

No not always with Corona some people show mild or even no symtoms. Knowing trump he will be just fine and use this to try and belittle the virus more than he already has.

Yes maybe he can now try out some of his quack theories on himself...

Oh I’m praying soooooo hard Grin
Superb!
Lweji · 02/10/2020 14:24

I might pray when he starts.

Trump is clearly atheist.

I hope thoughts and prayers for them have exactly the same effect as on gun crime.

Uhhhhhh

To ask you to pray for Donald and Melania?
VettiyaIruken · 02/10/2020 14:26

Prayers don't affect the outcome of anything so no.

I don't hope he dies but I do hope he gets ill enough to give him a serious shock in the hope that that experience may change the way he deals with it afterwards.

LaurieFairyCake · 02/10/2020 14:27

I really hope he recovers - I don't want a Pence administration- he's proper terrifyingly faaaaaaar right

But he can die at any moment it's convenient to the American people/the world - that's FINE by me

Yes, this would be the appropriate outcome.

While I was praying I had a moment of revelation.

Op has shuffled off this mortal coil and won't be back. Spooky.

Interestingly it has been proven in studies that when people are "prayed for" they express improved outcomes for medical treatment etc saying they feel better.

But this is only if they are told they are are being prayed for, the actual act of prayer doesnt affect the outcome. It's simply a person who is told that everyone is actively hoping/trying/thinking for them they feel better.

derxa · 02/10/2020 14:33

I wish them all the best and hope they recover.

"Doesnt he look tired" :p

Accounts of illness usualy kill political careers. Ccpgrey on YouTube has a good video on this in terms of how rulers rule and the key people to thier power want consistency an ill ruler isnt a sure bet

Sunnyjac · 02/10/2020 14:34

To what end?!

Elsewyre · 02/10/2020 14:34

Unless this is a hoax where he can turn around and say "see I'm 70 odd obease and totaly fine fake news this is dangerous"

PickAChew · 02/10/2020 14:36

Best hit and run OP ever :o

Happyheartlovelife · 02/10/2020 14:36

He needs some bleach and shove a torch down his throat

He's be good then

Brighterthansunflowers · 02/10/2020 14:36

There are seven billion people more deserving of prayers than him

Exactly what I thought. Even wondered if it was a hoax so he could "recover" and then tell the world - it didn't get me and they all said I was high risk ha ha, stop over reacting and carry on as normal.
MummytoCSJH · 02/10/2020 14:37

No need for that, it will just disappear, like a miracle! Perhaps a disinfectant injection would hurry it along?

Eng123 · 02/10/2020 14:38

Better pray loud... it's a long way down!

The80sweregreat · 02/10/2020 14:39

I really hope Melania will be ok. I wish her well. I'm sure they will both be alright though. They will both get the Best care and rest I'm sure!
