By now many of us know who President Donald Trump is on Twitter, is also who he is in real life . Yet, watching his brazen persona unfurl on a national scale is still a vexing sight to behold. During Trump's first appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning, he chose not to open, as other leaders have in the past , with inspirational or devotional messages . Instead, he talked about plummeting ratings for his old show The Apprentice in the hands of its new host, Arnold Schwarzenegger. According to Vanity Fair , MarkBurnett,the producer behind The Apprentice, is a longtime friend of Trump's which also explains why he introduced him at the breakfast. Trump then opened: "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 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 right down the tubes. It’s been a total disaster, and Mark will never, ever bet against Trump again, and I just want to pray for Arnold if we can for those ratings."
