Padma January 22, 2017 Share January 22, 2017 Yes, then Lawrence came back with facts and figures about past crowds. I couldn't believe when Spicer reading from his captor's note information said, "It had the biggest audience, both in person and on television, in history!" Lie big or you'll be fired, Sean. That press briefing was notable for the flop sweat. Oh and for the press secretary not taking any questions. Signs of things to come.

When Lawrence showed Trump at his prayer breakfast, I had to laugh when Trump said he grew up in a "churched house." And then he said to the chaplain "I don't know if you're appointed or not. The hell with it, I'll appoint you for a year." As Lawrence said, even a polite atheist probably would not have said that at a prayer breakfast. Gotta love Lawrence.
