President Donald Trump criticized Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for her sermon during the National Prayer Service, calling her a 'Radical Left hard line Trump hater' and demanding an apology. Trump accused Budde of bringing her church into politics in an ungracious manner and criticized her tone as 'nasty' and 'not compelling or smart.'
During her sermon, Budde had urged the president to show mercy towards immigrants and members of the LGBTQ community, emphasizing the need for compassion in a time of fear and uncertainty. She appealed to Trump to consider the well-being of those who are scared and vulnerable in the country.
