Trump calls bishop who bravely asked him to show mercy to LGBTQ+ children and immigrants ‘nasty’

Donald Trump has called Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who begged him to show mercy to LGBTQ+ children and immigrants, “nasty” and “not very good at her job.”

On Tuesday (21 January), at the Washington National Cathedral, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde spoke during Trump’s inaugural prayer service and pleaded for him to show mercy to minority groups. 

President Trump watched the sermon alongside first lady Melania Trump, vice president JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance. 

“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde said. 

“They are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives,” she continued, before calling for mercy toward immigrants too.

Wow. Bishop
