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.

Does he need a safe space for his snowflake ego?
She just asked for him to show mercy. How is that hurting anyone’s feeling? What a snowflake.
You should know that asking trump to show mercy is almost as cruel as asking a legless person to stand.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about religion, any of them. I also applaud that woman’s bravery.
Yup, anyone who disagrees with Trump about treating people like garbage is a radical leftist. Sounds about right. I’m so siked for a decade of this.
To be honest she’s probably lucky this is week one and not a year in, when Trump would have her shot as an enemy of the president and criminal of the state.
How dare a priest call for compassion towards others. Jesus would be outraged.
Supply side Jesus.
politicizing religion
From the maker of the Trump Bible.
Republicans are fine with it as long as religious leaders agree with them.
That’s why they love the smaller evangelical churches, there’s no higher authority and plenty of grifters who will always back them in return for “donations”.
They want to lead a religion, not be told what they’re doing isn’t religious.
And yet his diplomat wants give Israel the Westbank based on the bible
They want to deport her for hurting his feelings.
Deport her where? Honestly these people allegedly so freedom of speech are such snowflakes.
It’s code for death camps.
Looks like she is from New Jersey originally? I guess being banished to new jersey is biblically accurate if you consider the movie Dogma to be canon.
I thought they were banished to Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hmmm… I might have been heretical then. Been a while since I’ve seen it, maybe I just subliminally associate Kevin Smith with New Jersey for some reason?
Doesn’t matter. First step would be an immigration detention facility. If there’s no country to deport her to, she just stays there, I guess. And while she’s there, might as well dig a hole, build a wall, or assemble furniture or something to cover the cost of housing her or some shit.
immigration detention facility
I think we can go ahead and call them concentration camps at this point. That’s what they will build on those 1400 acres in Texas, and that’s how they’ll be used. Convenient bureaucratic mix-ups will enable them to contain immigrants, targeted minorities and political opponents.
Sounds familiar :(
The camps they are building soon.
Much more practical to revoke her church’s tax exempt status.
Still makes no sense. She appealed to empathy, and she should be punished?
If she appealed to punishment, she would get empathy
Madagascar perhaps? Not that anybody would follow up.
Hm, Putting people that openly criticise the party on “a list”. Where have I heard this before?
Genuinely scary.
It also happened in the 50s with people the USA government decided it didn’t like the thoughts and statements of. Ruined a lot of lives.
That shows how ignorant they all are, because according to Wikipedia she was born in New Jersey. So it’s telling that “deportation” is the first place they go whenever someone says something they don’t like.
They know.
I want to deport tRump out the nearest airlock. We can all dream.
The nearest airlock is probably at the closest cleanroom. Not very dangerous for him. But likely very dangerous for whatever is inside that cleanroom.

Awwww, Trump is one special snowflake who cannot take criticism
Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.
BWAHAHAHAHA ah yes, after thousands of pristine years of religion being apolitical, all it took was one woman with the balls to speak truth to power and now it’s been besmirched forever.
Remember when Jesus apologized to the Romans about politicizing religion?
Jesus also said to pay your taxes, and was super against charging interest for loans…
It changed to “don’t charge Christians interest” to “charge everyone interest” over the years as the wealthy kept re-writting the Bible.
Then there’s the stuff about taking care of the poor and sick, which also isn’t a priority anymore.
It’s why I hate when Christians say they’re forced to be anti-LGBTQ due to their religion, but never fight for the stuff their religion says to do to help people. They just want to use religion as a sword, never a shield.
I still go back to Jesus’s golden rule: do unto others as you would have done to you.
He says that rule sums up all of his teachings.
You can 100% be Christian and treat LGBTQ people with respect. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s what Jesus would want. You don’t even have to read the whole bible to know that, that’s Jesus’ own cliff notes version!
Organized religions that for thousands of years oppressed people will read the bible as they may, but you’re not a Christian if you don’t recognize the new covenant and hear Jesus words.
All the Abrhamuc religions hate LGBTQ because they all came about competing against each other.
It’s easier to keep someone born into the religion than convert someone who grew up outside of it.
So the biggest priority has always been for existing followers to have as many kids as possible. It all comes down to money/power. The more followers listen to you, the more money you get in donations and the more power you have. Even today, waaaaay too many Americans just vote how their religious leader tells them.
You can’t logic them out of it, because logic didn’t factor into their support of trump in the first place.
They reference themselves as sheep constantly, and they are.
Fuck your feelings, snowflake.
I think that’s the typical magat response when someone’s offended, right?
Do it Donald. Attack the church. You know you can’t resist, can you?
He was a child last time, but now he’s a toddler throwing temper tantrums. I’m not sure if it’s his cognitive decline or just the fact that he can do whatever the fuck he wants without any consequence. Probably both.
He asks a priest asking for compassion an act that requires an apology, whilst being silent on Elon doing a fucking nazi salut. NICE PRIORITIES.
