Donald Trump issues grim four-word slam of Bishop who 'lectured' him on LGBT+ 'mercy'

Donald Trump lashed out at a bishop who asked him to "show mercy" over immigration policy and fears felt by LGBT+ communities in the US. Yesterday, Trump looked stony-faced as he was "lectured" by Bishop Mariann Budde during an event in Washington yesterday. In a speech directed at the Commander-in-Chief, she said the world order "as we know it is over" and that people now "face a world of hard competition" - a criticism against Trump's list of executive orders. One of them included the condemnation of "gender ideology", in which he said the US only recognises two sexes, male and female, as "policy".
In response, the bishop said: "As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” Budde said in her sermon. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in both Democratic, Republican and independent families who fear for their lives.”.
Today, Trump took to Truth Social to lash out at the bishop, branding her a "Radical Left hard line Trump hater". The post read: "The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way.
"She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. 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. 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!".
