President Donald Trump told reporters he wasn't wild about the National Prayer Service at Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday in which Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde begged for mercy for those "scared" about life under Trump.
Upon returning to the Oval Office, reporters asked him about the service, the pool report said, according to Huffington Post reporter Jen Bendery.
"What did you think? Did you like it? Did you find it exciting? Not too exciting, was it?" he responded. “I didn't think it was a good service. They could do much better.”

MSNBC showed a video of Trump's statement entering the White House.
Prayer and other religious services tend to be solemn occasions with spiritual reflection rather than the excitement of rallies or concerts. Some noticed Trump appeared to be dozing off.
Among the things Budde said that seemed directly pointed at Trump was her comments about humility.
"Perhaps we are most dangerous to ourselves and others when we are persuaded without a doubt that we are absolutely right, and someone else is absolutely wrong. Because then we are a few steps from labeling ourselves as the good people versus the bad people," she said.
Trump sat mostly slumped as the 12 religious leaders made statements and the choir sang. During the moment Budde asked for mercy, noting that immigrants and LGBTQ children were scared, Vice President J.D. Vance appeared annoyed, leaning over to say something to his wife at one point.
Those watching Trump and Vance also noticed that the group laughed when the pastors asked to "pray for the vulnerable."
