The current president of the United States stated on social media that Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde owes the public an apology
President Donald Trump responded this Wednesday, 22, to the bishop’s statements Mariann Edgar Buddefrom the Washington National Cathedral, stating that she should apologize. The previous day, Budde had urged the president to protect immigrants and respect the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, during a mass in Washington.
At the inauguration ceremony, Trump had declared that there were only two genders in the United States and signed executive orders aimed at cracking down on immigration. In response, Buddefrom the pulpit, asked the president to show mercy to those who were “afraid” of the future, such as immigrants and “children afraid of seeing their parents deported.”
Trumpvisibly uncomfortable with the comments during the service, downplayed the criticism when questioned later. In a post on TruthSocial, the current president stated that the bishop’s tone was “disgusting” and that both she and her church “owe the public an apology.”
Appeal for compassion
The declaration of Budde reflected concern about the policies of Trumpwhich focused on the repression of immigrants and a conservative approach to the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. His intervention at the service was an attempt to appeal to the president to adopt a more compassionate stance, especially towards vulnerable people in the country.
