President Donald Trump’s inauguration was always going to be a terrible day, and he did not disappoint. Not only did he sign executive orders proclaiming that the US government would now only recognize two genders and end diversity, equity and inclusion programs, but he also removed all LGBTQ+ references from the official White House website and invited every tech billionaire he could think of. to attend as a guest.
But he was also criticized by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who delivered the inaugural prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral.
“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on the people of our country who are afraid right now,” Budde said, directing his speech at Trump.
“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children, Democratic, Republican and independent families, some of whom fear for their lives. »
As one might expect, Trump hated being called out so publicly. Before vilifying immigrants, he said the reverend had a “nasty tone.” Trump has a history of calling women “nasty,” a nickname he has given to at least a dozen women — including Kamala Harris, Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi — since his first candidacy.
“The so-called bishop who spoke at the national prayer service Tuesday morning was a radical left hardliner who hated Trump. She brought her church into the political world in a very unsightly way. She had a mean tone and was neither convincing nor convincing. smart,” the MAGA leader Truth Social wrote.
Trump may have thought he had the last laugh with his message, but people at X (formerly Twitter) celebrated Budde’s words and mocked the president. From people joking that it’s “shocking for fake Christians to meet real Christians” to someone writing, “When your church calls you an asshole,” the responses are pointed and hilarious.
