At the National Prayer Breakfast, a solemn occasion with a rich history, President Trump spent more than a minute talking about his former reality show "The Apprentice."

He used the occasion to jokingly call for prayers for its new host Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"Ratings went right down the tubes. It's been a total disaster," he said.

The keynote speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast was Barry Black, the chaplain of the United States Senate.

Moved by Black's remarks, Trump lauded him.

"I don't know if you're Democrat or Republican, but I'm appointing you for another year. The hell with it."
