DONALD Trump has demanded an apology from the bishop who delivered a "controversial" sermon at Tuesday's National Prayer Service. The president called Mariann Budde nasty in a lengthy tirade on his Truth Social post on Wednesday morning. Trump ripped Budde, claiming she was not compelling or smart, and described the prayer service as “boring and uninspiring.".

"She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way," he said. "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!".

The president’s comments come after vice president JD Vance’s reaction was caught on camera. He turned to his wife Usha and just had a disapproved look on his face. “JD's face at the woke sermon says it all,” one viewer said. "I'm with JD," another supporter said.

"JD Vance's face at the woke sermon was so funny," a fan posted on X. "I don't think Mike Pence would've been as funny.". In another shot, Vance's eyes were seen pointing in the direction of Trump and First Lady Melania. Viewers were curious to know what Trump was thinking at the time.
Trump, sporting a trademark red tie, looked stony faced during the service. "Trump had some good faces as well," another chimed. "Actually they are all confused about this.". Social media users joked that they wouldn't be able to pursue a career in politics because of their facial reactions.
