Trump Demands Apology After Bishop's Sermon on Migrants and LGBTQ+ Rights

President Trump criticized Washington's Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde for her remarks urging compassion during a post-inauguration church service.

During a National Cathedral service following his second inauguration, Bishop Mariann Budde called on President Trump to show mercy to migrants and LGBTQ+ individuals.
Budde highlighted the fears of marginalized groups, including undocumented immigrants and LGBTQ+ youth, urging the president to act with compassion.
Trump labeled the bishop a 'left-wing radical' on Truth Social, accusing her of politicizing the church and using a 'mean tone.'
The president criticized the service as 'boring' and demanded public apologies from Budde and her church, claiming her statements were inappropriate.
Trump's administration has prioritized strict immigration policies and rolled back LGBTQ+ protections, including a new executive order recognizing only two genders.
