Trump demands an apology from bishop who asked him to ‘have mercy’ on LGBTQ+ people and migrants

Trump demands an apology from bishop who asked him to ‘have mercy’ on LGBTQ+ people and migrants

The Hindu

President Trump demands apology from Episcopal bishop after prayer service, sparking controversy over LGBTQ+ and migrant worker comments.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday (January 22, 2025) demanded an apology from the Episcopal bishop of Washington after she made a direct appeal to him during a prayer service marking his inauguration to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and migrant workers who are in the United States illegally.

Referencing Mr. Trump’s belief that he was saved by God from assassination, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde said, “You have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.”

After he returned to the White House, Mr. Trump said, “I didn't think it was a good service” and “they could do much better.” But later, in an overnight post on his social media site, he sharply criticised the “so-called Bishop” as a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater.”

“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart,” said Mr. Trump, a Republican, adding that Rev. Budde did not mention that some migrants have come to the United States and killed people.

“Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job!” Mr. Trump said. “She and her church owe the public an apology!”

A cathedral spokesperson did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Wednesday (January 22, 2025).

The Trump administration has already issued executive orders rolling back transgender rights and toughening immigration policies.
