[QUOTE] BREAKING: Donald Trump has a midnight meltdown over the bishop who called him out to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral, calling her "not compelling or smart" and "nasty" before really digging in.
This is the supposed "Christian" president that Evangelicals flocked to support...
"The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater," the president wrote on Truth Social.
"She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart," he continued.
"She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions," Trump went on.
"It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!" he wrote.
As is it to be expected, Trump's characterization of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's remarks was deeply dishonest. Instead, she simply asked him to show mercy and "compassion" for marginalized communities.
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said.
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.
She also pointed out that migrants are workers who "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques.
The fact that these incredibly reasonable and empathetic words caused Trump to fly off the handle in the middle of the night says far more about him than it does the Bishop. Her words were chewing at him all day, eating away at his insecurities about himself, until finally he couldn't take it anymore.[\QUOTE]
