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.

“They should be apolitical not making these dumb points in front of the president”
It’s not politics
The country just put him into the White House
It is the Constitution. What he is doing is what tge country wants
“so called Bishop”. Love it. Using their language against them.
It is like when one goes to the museum at Hiroshima, the focus is on the suffering of the little children. You see shoes, clothes, photos of the burns. Really, nothing about how the Japanese got to that situation that forced the USA and the world to enter the war to stop their ruthless conquest. Only the effects of the bomb on the children.
Trump should revoke the Episcopal church’s 501c3 tax exemption.
“He should ask for an apology to all the people who are harmed by the policies she promotes.”
No. He was just voted in. She is done. The Trump hatred lingers. She just spoke to the people. To us. We’ve already received our apology. People like her are done taliking like this on the stage. In the pulpit
We are sick of them but we know now that we are not alone
I hope a lot of people have responded to her
He should have walked out. Just get up, don’t say a word, and walk out.
HOORAY President Trump! Church? Putrid political platform from the pulpit of this poseur.
Bingo.
She needs her commie ass kicked. Trump need to turn over the “miggies” to the churches and let the churches support them. Not one penny from the taxpayers. Stop taking money from American families and giving it to foreign national freeloaders.
I do believe that the Bishop has a right and a duty to express her view. It is called “the Church militant, She is off on her facts and isn’t considering the children mutilated by butcher surgeons, the law breaking to enter America. The poor of America being displaced from what little they have. The crime and slavery, sex trafficking etc. that have followed the invasion of America.
this is only referenced as the “church of Presidents” due to proximity to the white house.
Trump should just pick another nearby church and announce future events will be scheduled to take place there.
Start a new tradition.
It’s been awhile since I’ve attended any service, but I sure don’t remember the preacher singling out members to admonish and lecture them. That alone is highly inappropriate
If “that thing that spoke” was supposed to be ‘the national representation of gawd-duh’, then I gladly proclaim myself a practicing Pagan!
There was no display of the intestinal fortitude of Samson, or Elijah , that rose up in the face of doom, called to the heavens, and prevailed.
What I saw was timidity, fear, weakness.
Ccertainly NOT traits that make America great.
It reminded me of when Pence went to see “Hamilton” with his wife when John Legend lectured him in an unhinged, public tirade.
It was not the time nor the place. The sermon was political. She could speak with him privately if this was merely to express her views to him.
I predict the wiccan stoner bitch will say nothing.
I expect the NCS National Cathedral School willl see a drop in enrollment applications. When they expose themselves we win.
Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.
Corinthians 14:34
That’s not a bishop, and that religion isn’t really a religion, it’s a PAC. Sort of like “Roman Catholic Lite”, which is as redundant as “Coors Lite”.
Shouldn’t that church lose its tax-exempt status??
