Donald Trump responds to bishop’s confronting inaugural prayer sermon

Millions of people, not only from the Sates but beyond, watched the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Among the rest, the bishop’s sermon captured the attention of many by addressing topics that shocked listeners at such an event

During the sermon she delivered, Bishop Mariann Budde directly addressed President Donald Trump with a few requests.
“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” the bishop said in the latter part of her 15-minute sermon. “Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.”

She urged Trump to have mercy on the people who fear for their future. Saying this, she appeared to have glanced at the president.

“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives,” referring to the concerns of the LGBTQIA+ community regarding Trump’s administration.

In her sermon, she addressed some of the executive orders Trump signed. It included “recognizing that women are biologically distinct from men.” Also, the one that declared a national emergency at the southern border of the country, and several others focused on immigration, including one aimed at ending birthright citizenship.

“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they – they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.”

Bishop Budde has been critical of Trump in the past.
In 2020, when Trump posed with a Bible outside St. John’s Episcopal Church after law enforcement dispersed racial justice protesters with chemical agents, the bishop wrote: “Everything he has said and done is to inflame violence… We need moral leadership, and he’s done everything to divide us.”

Further, during the sermon in question, the bishop added: “I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, she added. “For we were all once strangers in this land.”

Asked what he thought of the bishop’s sermon, President Trump said he “didn’t think it was a good service.”
Republican U.S. Representative Mike Collins from Georgia commented the bishop’s service on the social media. He wrote, “The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.”
