00:02

-Donald Trump berated CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins

00:04

for not smiling

00:06

while she asked a question about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal

00:08

and made fun of praying at the National Prayer Breakfast.

00:11

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

00:17

Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast this morning,

00:20

which is supposed to be a normal, nonpartisan event.

00:22

But of course, Donald Trump is incapable of being normal.

00:25

I mean, he's also incapable of being nonpartisan,

00:28

incapable of praying.

00:29

And I bet he's bad at breakfast, too.

00:31

I know, I know, it's the most important meal of the day,

00:34

but everything about Donald Trump screams,

00:36

"I'm gonna wait and have a big lunch."

00:39

That's why he's such a bloated sourpuss

00:41

every day at 4:00.

00:42

He just crushed a massive lunch.

00:45

And then he's like, "I'm pretty full. Might take a nap."

00:46

And they're like,

00:48

"Well, Mr. President, you have a full schedule."

00:49

And then he's like, "Why?"

00:51

And then you're like, "'Cause you're the president."

00:52

And he's like, "Ugh."

00:54

But still, it would be nice if he could be normal.

00:56

At this point, it would be shocking

00:59

if Trump showed up to a public event wearing a suit that fits

01:01

in a tie that was an appropriate length,

01:03

with his hair combed neatly to the side

01:05

and his skin a normal human color

01:07

and got through a full 90-minute speech

01:10

without mentioning how much he hates windmills

01:12

or toilets that don't flush.

01:14

I would say "[Bleep] it, show's over.

01:15

Let's go home."

01:17

In fact, I think that's what would finally drive me insane.

01:20

You know, an ironic twist of fate.

01:22

I would start showing up here with my hair a mess,

01:24

slathered in orange makeup,

01:26

and I'd be all grumpy because I was the one

01:27

who just had a big lunch.

01:29

I'd be like, "Welcome to 'Late Night.'

01:31

Let's get to the news. The news? We're doing the news?

01:33

Ugh."

01:35

The point is, Trump couldn't help himself.

01:37

He just had to show up to the National Prayer Breakfast

01:40

and make it weird.

01:42

-You know, Mike Johnson's a very religious person,

01:45

and he does not hide it.

01:47

He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, "Sir, may we pray?"

01:52

I'd say, "Excuse me? We're having lunch."

01:55

-We're having lunch,
