WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump used his remarks at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, February 5, to sharply criticize former President Joe Biden, slam Democrats and highlight military action in Venezuela as part of his administration’s accomplishments.
The annual bipartisan event drew attention as Trump’s sixth time speaking at the prayer breakfast, a tradition that every US president has observed since Dwight D Eisenhower.
Trump slams Joe Biden and Democrats
In his address, Trump singled out Biden as the “worst president we ever had,” asserting that Biden lacked awareness of his role and actions in office and commenting that Biden had "no idea what the hell I’m saying."
Beyond Biden, Trump also lambasted Democrats over issues like voter identification laws, challenging how supporters of faith could align with a party he claimed opposed measures such as voter ID that he said would prevent cheating at the polls.
Trump attacked Democrats, saying, "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't."
He added, "Yes, my name is so-and-so, I live here. They say that's not allowed! They do something to win...they cheat!"

"We have some Democrats here today. I don't know why they're here, cause they certainly don't give us their vote! We won't be convincing them to vote for a little thing called voter ID!" Trump said.
Lawmakers from both parties had gathered for the annual faith-based breakfast, which was co-chaired by one Democratic senator and one Republican senator.
Praise for military action in Venezuela
In a notable moment of his speech, Trump praised military leadership, including Gen Dan 'Raizin' Caine, and touted US forces as a deterrent.

He referenced operations in Venezuela and suggested that adversaries such as Iran and other actors “don’t want us to hit them” because of American military strength and deployments.
Referring to Caine, Trump said, "He's brutal. Just ask Venezuela. Ask Iran. They're negotiating now. They don't want us to hit them. We have a big fleet going over there."
