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.
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.
