When President Donald Trump rekindled his trademark “mean tweets,” targeting a troubled D.C. bishop in a vicious tirade, late-night social media went wild once more. Trump attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who spoke at the National Prayer Service earlier Monday, in a post on Truth Social at 12:39 a.m. (EST).
“The so-called bishop who spoke at Tuesday morning’s National Prayer Service was a hardline Trump hater on the Radical Left. In a very ungracious way, she introduced her church into the political arena,” Trump stated.
She lacked intelligence and charm, and her tone was cruel. She neglected to bring up the significant number of illegal immigrants that entered our nation and caused fatalities. Numerous people were released from prisons and mental health facilities.
“It is a massive crime wave that is occurring in the USA,” he added. Aside from her offensive remarks, the service was incredibly dull and uninspired. She does not do her job well! She should apologize to the public on behalf of her church.
Budde’s lecture at the well-known prayer service, which many claim crossed into partisan terrain, was the source of the issue. Budde used the forum to urge Trump and Vice President JD Vance to demonstrate “mercy” on progressive issues, such as LGBTQ+ policies and illegal immigration, rather than emphasizing togetherness.
“Mr. President, allow me to make one last request. You have earned the faith of millions. You have also experienced the providential hand of a loving God, as you informed the country yesterday. I beseech you, in the name of our God, to show mercy to those in our nation who are currently afraid,” Budde remarked.
Trump and Vance were spotted looking at each other while she spoke, and people at the event reported that they were clearly annoyed by the bishop’s comments.
The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals, even though they may not be citizens or have the required paperwork. These individuals include those who pick our crops, clean our office buildings, work in poultry farms and meat packing plants, wash the dishes after our meals at restaurants, and work night shifts in hospitals. They are decent neighbors and pay taxes,” Budde added.
