The President of the United States, , expressed dissatisfaction with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, calling her statements “unpleasant”. “The so-called bishop who spoke Tuesday at the National Prayer Service is a radical leftist who hates Trump,” he wrote on his network, Truth Social. “She had an unpleasant tone, was neither convincing nor intelligent.” The bishop had criticized the president’s actions, which, according to her, generate fear among migrants and the LGBTQ community.
“I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President,” said the bishop, who spoke of the fear that, according to her, is felt throughout the country. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and Independent families,” he said. In response, Trump used his social media to attack the bishop, describing her sermon as boring and uninspired. “In addition to his inappropriate comments, the sermon was very boring and uninspiring. She’s not very good at her job. She and her church owe the public an apology,” he wrote.
The decrees signed by Trump include measures that suspend the entry of asylum seekers and establish a binary definition of gender, recognizing only male and female.
