Donald Trump demands apology from bishop who hurt his feelings
Right Rev. Mariann Budde had appealed to Trump to have mercy and compassion during an interfaith service.
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.
Leviticus 19:33-34 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 24:22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the LORD your God.
1 John 4:20 If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
Proverbs 31:8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
Homeboy signed that thang with, "I am the LORD," too. I'm not a Christian but if I were, I'd understand that there's no two ways about whats being demandad and evern required as a follower of the Christian faith from numerous uno, the Don himself, in plane black and white.
I feel and live this way without such demands from the centerpiece of a religion and it's the easiest and best way to live. Life is so messy and brutally hard sometimes and the last thing any of us need is having to haul around a worthless 200lb sack of hate over our shoulder every step we take. Let it go and you're life will change radically for the better.
The Trump crowd being upset at a pastor for saying show mercy and leave trans people alone just shows how they use religion for aesthetics only.
There is no way these people legit think they have any chance of reaching the gates of heaven.
He could have he disagrees and that would be it. He's demanding an apology.
But then again, it's Trump.
It was a great speech. Highly recommend
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.
Jesus was definitely radical left if he existed.
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."
"Politicizing religion"
Oh the irony
he literally signed bibles like he's the fucking author despite not having read a single word of it. not a single word. when they asked him if there was any part of the Bible he liked he couldn't say anything. not even "the lord is my shepherd", just blank.
to be fair though if he uttered any of the words he would probably catch on fire
How dare a priest call for compassion towards others. Jesus would be outraged.
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.
politicizing religion
From the maker of the Trump Bible.
And yet his diplomat wants give Israel the Westbank based on the bible
They want to deport her for hurting his feelings.
Trump has no feelings. He's just a Markov process of assholery.
Deport her where? Honestly these people allegedly so freedom of speech are such snowflakes.
It’s code for death camps.
The camps they are building soon.
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.
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.
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.
Her church is your church you moron.
Does he need a safe space for his snowflake ego?
If only he was in a retirement home where he should be
Or a jail cell.
Remember when Jesus apologized to the Romans about politicizing religion?
I'm so glad the government isn't trying to control speech now that Biden is out.
sigh
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.
All it took is for one woman to say "have mercy" because that sentiment could only be political and was never part of Christianity.
I don't give a rat's ass about religion, any of them. I also applaud that woman's bravery.
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.
Politicizing... If he projects any harder he's going to start burning shit with his eyeballs like god damn cyclops.
He's trying to steal our rights, his petty bullshit is just distraction
Trying?
Not just our rights, public money too.
Fuck your feelings, snowflake.
I think that's the typical magat response when someone's offended, right?
Awwww, Trump is one special snowflake who cannot take criticism
Hey, Donald. Shut the fuck up.
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.
He has the emotional maturity of a fucking grape.
Hey a grape is neutral. This shitstain is actively evil.
Agreed, grapes don't enable other's emotional immaturity.
