Trump demands apology from bishop
The Hill ^ | 01/22/25 6:27 AM ET | by Alex Gangitano

Posted on 01/22/2025 3:44:42 AM PST by RandFan

President Trump early Wednesday morning slammed the reverend at a National Cathedral prayer service for the inauguration who called on him to have mercy on transgender children and immigrant families.

Trump, in a lengthy post on Truth Social, called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde’s remarks “nasty” and not smart.

“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” he said.

“She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions,” the president added. “It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one.”

Trump also called on her and the church to apologize to him.

“She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”

Hours earlier, Budde made a plea to Trump during her sermon as he was sitting in the first pew at the service.

I saw this on TV and it was awful for this bishop to do that. I felt it was very disrespectful and unexpected.

“Trump demands apology from bishop”

And rightly so.

The lesbian bishop’s never-ending prayer was torture to the ear. Its purpose was simple: to lash out at the president subtly then build into a nasty and messy harangue.

She was aptly ugly as well.

She's a leftie. They are Godless and know no shame.

And they hold no respect for the presidency (and despise President Trump). They believe America is a country that stole its land from indigenous peoples and was built by slaves.

I hope one option is to not attend that church again and to be given advance notice on who will be lecturing the congregations in advance of where he will be attending. It makes him look weak to have to just sit there only a few days after he made Biden look weak when Biden had to sit there while Trump lectured about his failures.

His people should stage manage his next church appearance to get a supportive, conservative minister lecturing on religious matters, not woke matters.

She should also step down from the pulpit. She has no place being there, not knowing God nor His Word.

Yes it’s worse than I thought

And what has the world come to when you have to vet bishops ?

They should be apolitical not making these dumb points in front of the president

Oh well.,

Trump on National Prayer Service Bishop

We have Deep State -sponsored religion in this country.

And Deep State is doing our tithing for us to the tune of billions in taxpayer money.

The mainline churches have gone woke (with very few exceptions). Everyone knows this.

This stuck out to me.

"Budde also told Trump that people in our country are scared of his presidency and that “the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”"

Another leftist lie pushed by a so called Christian.

It isn't about immigrants who came here legally. It's about ILLEGAL immigration.

He should ask for an apology to all the people who are harmed by the policies she promotes.

Apologize to the children who are mutilated for life by the sex change procedures for trans purposes.

Apologize to the families of the people who were raped, killed, robbed or harmed by the open door illegal immigration of criminals.

Apologize to the people who caught the diseases they brought here from all over the world.

Apologize to the thousands of children that were killed, abandoned or sold into sex slavery.

Apologize to the many people who died from the drugs brought in by the illegals.

The list is long.

But don’t Apologize to Trump.

Apologize to all the people harmed by the policies she promoted.

Probably. They've been soundly beaten, but they're not done yet. We still have work to do.

Trump hatred is above all things

I am sick of it

I get it on a personal level from family and associates

The country wants him in the White House

You got that, you weird ‘bishop’?

Wall Street Journal? NYT? SNL?

All the executive orders were straight from he campaign The country voted for this

When you speak to him, you speak to the country

We are tired of all of it.

For those who disagree with Paul, she/they/it’s making a good argument for women keeping silent in the church. Talk about blaspheme.
