Donald Trump on Wednesday called a Washington bishop “nasty” and demanded an apology after she told the US President from the pulpit that he was sowing fear among the country’s immigrants and LGBTQ people.
“The so-called bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a radical left hard-line Trump hater,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” wrote Trump, after attending a service at the Washington National Cathedral given by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington.
Trump issued measures Tuesday, after being sworn in as President for the second time, to suspend the arrival of asylum seekers and expel migrants in the country illegally.
