Trump asks everyone to pray for Arnold Schwarzenegger's ratings on The Apprentice at National Prayer Breakfast

President Trump said a prayer for the new host of The Celebrity Apprentice at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday. "I just want to pray for Arnold [Schwarzenegger] if we can, for those ratings," Trump said, after noting the "ratings went right down the tubes" after Schwarzenegger took over for him as host of the reality TV show.
Shortly after Trump talked about the "total disaster" of the "big, big movie star" replacing him on primetime, he declared that the "quality of our lives is not defined by our material success, but by our spiritual success." The annual National Prayer Breakfast is attended by faith leaders and dignitaries from around the world.
