Critics are blasting President Donald Trump following his reaction to the inaugural national prayer service in Washington Tuesday.

C-SPAN shared a video of the MAGA leader leaving the service — which took place at the Washington National Cathedral — writing: "President Trump following National Prayer Service: 'Not too exciting, was it. I didn't think it was a good service. No...They can do much better.'"

Former CNN political analyst Marc Lamont Hill replied: I thought this was a joke at first.

host Roland Martin commented: "Awww. Fake Christian is mad he was told the truth by a Christian woman"

Ron Fournier, former Washington bureau chief at The Associated Press, wrote: "This is not a Godly man"

One segment of the service that the president likely "found especially offensive," according to The Intelligencer's Ed Kilgore, was when Episcopal bishop Marian Edgar Budde looked directly at Trump, and pleaded for him to "have mercy" on immigrants and LGBTQ children "who fear for their lives" now that he has taken office again.
