Donald Trump said 'they can do much better' after sitting through a sermon from a woke bishop pleading for 'mercy' for illegal immigrants and transgender children.
Asked by reporters at the White House for his verdict on the lecture from Mariann Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, earlier on Tuesday, Trump responded: 'What did you think? Do you like it? Did you find it exciting?
'Not too exciting, was it? I didn’t think it was a good service. Thank you very much.'
He added at the end of his remarks: 'They can do much better.'
It came after Budde, 65, sparked backlash at the National Prayer Service on Trump's first full day back in the presidency, as she unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office.
Trump sat stone-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were 'not criminals', and he shouldn't deport those with children.
After the sermon went viral, an image from Budde's church, the St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist Church, circulated across social media, showing the church - which also reportedly serves as a migrant shelter - attempts to ban ICE and Homeland Security from entering.
As Budde's sermon drew outrage from conservatives who questioned her decision to politicize the religious service, Republican Congressman Mike Collins said on X: 'The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.'

Deport her?
Back to New Jersey?
He was a lot more polite about it, than I would have been.
She’s the embodiment of that liberal acquaintance you know on social media, who never interacts with you, until you post something that offends her political feelers - then she just can’t help herself as she pollutes your feed with a lecture.
Yes! I guess everyone has one of those. Ignores you, never comments your grandkids’ pictures, but they just have to school you on the funeral points of liberal lunacy.
Loved your funeral points comment whether unintentional or otherwise.
Methodist Drag Queen.
I hope I don’t offend anyone here, but it was an Episcopal church. Did this “bishop” refer to God as She?
Illegal aliens and transgender children. Those are real winning issues.
Nevermind women bishop, and clergy should stay out of politics.
Tax the HELL out of her church for being a politically active organization that is NOT tax-exempt.
Correction..
“which also reportedly serves(served) as a migrant shelter - attempts to ban ICE and Homeland Security from entering.
She claimed to be a woman of faith but she is just a religious devil. She certainly doesn’t know Jesus.
That’s funny right there!
I read that it had been a tradition since the ‘30’s to attend a service at the National Cathedral after an Inauguration. So, four years from now, J.D. Vance can simply end the tradition.
who picked her?
The woke churches are not Christian but are apposed to the teachings of Christ.
who picked her?
That’s what I’d like to know....I wish President Trump would have walked out but he has more class than that “bishop”....
We aren't that heartless.
