MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Takes Aim at Trump Rally Prayers
It’s no secret that the mainstream media hates former President Donald Trump. Recently, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” dedicated an eight-minute segment to ridiculing the prayers at Trump rallies. This discussion followed an article by McKay Coppins in The Atlantic, suggesting that these prayers had been overlooked by journalists.
In the segment, Coppins and MSNBC contributor Jen Palmieri took a deep dive into these prayers, with Palmieri labeling them as “apocalyptic.”
The Alleged Danger of Rally Prayers
Coppins voiced his concern that these prayers might be planting “seeds of conspiracy theories” among Trump supporters. He argued that if one perceives the election as a fight between good and evil and believes God is on their side, then a loss for Trump could breed beliefs of “something amiss,” fueling election denialism. This theory was further mocked by Democrats such as strategist James Carville, who ridiculed the belief in divine intervention during an alleged assassination attempt on Trump.
The True Significance of Rally Prayers
What Coppins and others fail to appreciate is the profound significance of these prayers. They are not just words spoken at a rally; they are powerful expressions of faith and hope. These prayers reflect the deep religious convictions held by many Americans, including Trump supporters, who view him as a defender of their values and beliefs.
Furthermore, these prayers aren’t solely about the 2024 election, contrary to what Coppins suggests. They serve as a reminder of faith’s role in shaping our political landscape. To some, the concept of divine intervention in politics may seem peculiar, but for many Americans, it is a deeply ingrained belief. Dismissing or mocking this belief disregards the importance of religious freedom and expression in our country.
Concerns Over Trump’s Potential 2024 Win
Coppins also expresses apprehension about the potential outcome if Trump were to win the 2024 election. He cites a pastor promising “righteous retribution” against those who seek to do evil if Trump is reelected. Coppins argues that this mindset could lead to extreme actions based on a belief in divine mandate. However, this is yet another misinterpretation of the prayers. They are not inciting violence or encouraging retribution, but rather expressing faith in God and trust in His plan.
Moreover, Trump supporters don’t see a victory for him as merely an electoral mandate, but as confirmation of their beliefs and values. It’s a triumph for the American people who have felt ignored and marginalized by the political elite. Trump’s America First agenda resonates with these supporters, who view him as a leader committed to fighting for their interests and safeguarding their freedoms.

Final Thoughts
The prayers at Trump’s rallies are not “apocalyptic,” nor do they sow “seeds of conspiracy theories.” They are a meaningful expression of faith and hope, a reminder of the role of religion in our democracy, and a testament to the strong support for Trump among religious Americans.
Rather than criticizing and dismissing these prayers, we should embrace the diversity of beliefs in our country and respect the values and faith of all Americans, including Trump supporters.
