Summary

During a National Prayer Service, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde urged Donald Trump to show mercy to immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, prompting Trump to criticize her on Truth Social as a “Radical left hard line Trump hater.”

Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.

Budde, known for her advocacy on justice issues, later explained her appeal aimed to encourage broader compassion.

Despite her message, Trump demanded a public apology, claiming her remarks were ungracious and uninspiring.

    He called her a radical left Trump hater. Like Jesus wasn’t radical left and pretty sure he would’ve hated Trump too. But I guess that tracks since some right wingers are calling Jesus’s teachings weak. I’m surprised they haven’t called him “woke” yet.

      Reminds me of that scene from Castlevania between the Bishop and the Demon. You can guess who’s who.

      “My life’s work, was in his name!”

      “Your life’s work makes him puke.”
