Freed American pastor Andrew Brunson fell to one knee in the Oval Office and placed his hand on President Donald Trump's shoulder in prayer on Saturday, asking God to provide the president "supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him."
Trump welcomed Brunson to the White House to celebrate his release from nearly two years of confinement in Turkey, which had sparked a diplomatic row with a key ally and outcry from U.S. evangelical groups.
Brunson left his chair beside Trump, kneeled and placed a hand on the president's shoulder.
As Trump bowed his head, Brunson asked God to "give him supernatural wisdom to accomplish all the plans you have for this country and for him. I ask that you give him wisdom in how to lead this country into righteousness."
Trump said the U.S. greatly appreciated Brunson's release and said the move "will lead to good, perhaps great, relations" between the U.S. and fellow NATO ally Turkey. Trump asked Brunson and his family which candidate they voted for in 2016, saying he was confident they had gone for him. (Brunson was in a Turkish prison)

But I won't cut Trump a bit of slack for being so crass as to ask him who he voted for - especially since Brunson was in a Turkish prison during the election and couldn't have voted at all, which Trump would have known if he'd given half a crap about the guy other than as a trophy.
