Mike Pence’s ‘prayer of thanks’ to Donald Trump is the most bizarre, toe-curling thing you’ll see this year

Here’s vice-president Mike Pence telling Donald Trump just what an amazing and extraordinary man he is, and what a wonderful job he is doing as president.

This Mike Pence "prayer" of thanks to Trump is excruciatingly, stomach-churningly uncomfortable to watch. The ritual submission and exaltation is nearly pornographic. This is not America. pic.twitter.com/FN6y2X2K73

This is one of the most nauseating things I have ever seen.
Hey self-proclaimed “Christian” Mike Pence, doesn’t the 10 Commandments say “You shall have no other gods before me”? Because you sure seen to worship Trump.

Throw a bucket of water on them, it works with the neighbors dogs.

This guy was in the West Wing, so he knows what he’s talking about.

I work in Hollywood. I wear makeup for a living. I can promise you that if I blew smoke up Spielberg’s ass the way Pence did for Trump today, he would have fired me. For being insane.

The horrible thing was trump's expression: as though he were a deity waiting for the human-sacrifice course.

Similar sentiments, but put a little bit more strongly.

The look on the faces of Mattis and Tillerson are priceless – they are so obviously not buying any of it and can't wait for the boot-licking to be over with.

We like the bit towards the end when Pence suggests he should also thank someone else, and Trump looks mildly pissed off at the idea.

“Why bother?”

Congressional Republicans gathered at the WH today for a Trump love-fest, speaker after speaker lavished praise on their orange leader. It was every bit as barf-worthy as his Cabinet meeting.
