‘Trump should be dead and America should be dead. But the Lord has spared him and America – for God’s purposes in history’
One day after being sworn in as president and vice president, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance attended a prayer service at one of the most iconic churches in the country, Washington, D.C.’s massive National Cathedral. There they found themselves being personally insulted and vilified from the pulpit by Episcopal Bishop Marianne Budde.
According to the preacher, now that Trump is again in the White House, “gay, lesbian and transgender children … fear for their lives.” Same thing with illegal aliens, who according to Budde do most of the real work in this country: They “pick our crops, and clean our office buildings,” they “labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants,” and “wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts in hospitals.” So what if they aren’t “citizens or have the proper documentation,” declared Budde. Don’t deport them, she pleaded.
Trump and Vance pretty much maintained their composure, but could clearly be seen rolling their eyes. (Trump later referred to Budde on Truth Social as a “so-called Bishop” and “Radical Left hard line Trump hater.”)
“So called bishop” is the correct description1
