MAGA faithful have overwhelmed the church’s Facebook page by leaving over 100 negative reviews in the last 24 hours and angrily commenting on posts, which have been limited by admins. On Tuesday, Budde called on Trump to “have mercy” for the “scared” LGBT+ children and immigrant families across the country when the president and his family attended the service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

Trump hit back in an unhinged rant on Truth Social where he branded the bishop as a “nasty” and “Radical Left hard line Trump hater.”. His supporters have called for Budde to resign on the church’s Facebook page and branded the place of worship a “fake church.”.

“This church is a fake church,” one person wrote in a review. “Never have I heard a sermon that is so political. This church is one of example of cults — they use the name of God and Jesus Christ for other agendas. Beware of false prophets.”.
