周三，特朗普总统怒斥了在全国祈祷仪式上训斥他的“讨厌的”民主党主教——教会领袖证实她正在向他传达政治信息。
特朗普的反驳是在不得不参加周二的礼拜仪式之后做出的，在礼拜仪式上，华盛顿特区圣公会主教玛丽安·埃德加·巴德牧师将其变成了对非法移民、难民和 LGBT 社区的咆哮。
“周二早上在全国祈祷仪式上发言的所谓主教是激进左翼强硬派特朗普仇恨者，”总统在午夜刚过后在他的 Truth Social 账户上写道。

“她以一种非常不礼貌的方式将她的教会带入了政治世界，”他说——说她以一种“令人讨厌”的语气这样做，“既不引人注目也不聪明”。
他特别指出主教呼吁他“怜悯”移民家庭的方式，“他们的孩子担心父母会被带走”。
“她没有提到大量非法移民进入我们的国家并杀死了人们，”特朗普写道。
“许多人是从监狱和精神病院被关押起来的。这是美国正在发生的一波巨大的犯罪浪潮。”
除了“她不恰当的言论，礼拜仪式非常无聊和没有灵感”，特朗普抱怨道，他在周二的礼拜仪式上面无表情地坐着。
“她不太擅长她的工作！她和她的教会应该向公众道歉！”他写道。

巴德——她还讲道说“同性恋、变性儿童”担心自己的生命安全——周二晚些时候高兴地证实，她指的是这场礼拜是“与总统的一对一对话”。
“我看着总统，因为我在和他说话，”巴德告诉 CNN。
“我之所以和总统谈话，是因为我觉得他现在有这样的时刻，他感到有责任和能力去做他认为应该做的事情，我想说，还有宽容的空间，”她说。

具体来说，她说，她“想尽可能温和地反驳，提醒人们（非法移民）的人性和他们在我们更广泛社区中的地位”，她说，并坚称她试图“以一种尊重的方式进行这些对话”。
共和党人对巴德在周二的祈祷仪式上对总统和副总统的训斥感到愤怒。
“主教的观点非常极端——极其越界和脱离实际，她所做的是不必要的，”众议院共和党会议主席丽莎·麦克莱恩（共和党 - 密歇根州）反驳道。“也许我们应该为她祈祷。”
众议员迈克·柯林斯（共和党 - 乔治亚州）在 X 上发帖称，布德“应该被列入驱逐名单”。

全国各地的保守派宗教领袖也批评了布德的言论。
“我不能反驳特朗普的回应，我当时在场，我同意，”让我们崇拜的肖恩·费希特告诉《邮报》。
千橡市加略山教堂的资深牧师、转折点信仰的联合创始人罗布·麦考伊牧师认为，巴德“用强调性取向来取代基督教的正统教义，这是美国人离开这些教堂的原因。”
自 2011 年以来，巴德一直担任华盛顿特区的圣公会主教，她并不羞于涉足政治。例如，早在 2020 年，她就抨击特朗普在当局清理了首都的一场抗议活动后，在圣约翰圣公会教堂外挥舞圣经。
Trump tears into lefty DC bishop who asked him to ‘have mercy’ during National Prayer Service sermon
President Trump on Wednesday tore into the “nasty” Democratic bishop who lectured him at the National Prayer Service — as the church leader confirmed she was sending him a political message.
Trump’s takedown came after having to sit through Tuesday’s service in which the Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde — the Episcopal bishop of DC — turned it into a rant about illegal migrants, refugees and the LGBT community.
“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 his Truth Social account just after midnight.

“She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way,” he said — saying she did so in a “nasty” tone that was “not compelling or smart.”
He singled out the way that the bishop called on him to “have mercy” on immigrant families “whose children fear that their parents will be taken away.”
“She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people,” Trump wrote.
“Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.”
As well as “her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one,” complained Trump, who had sat looking stone-faced during Tuesday’s service.
“She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!” he wrote.

Budde — who also preached about “gay, lesbian and transgender children” who “fear for their lives” — happily confirmed late Tuesday that she meant the service as a “one-on-one conversation with the president.”
“I was looking at the president because I was speaking to him,” Budde told CNN.
“I was speaking to the president because I felt he has this moment now where he feels charged and empowered to do what he feels called to do, and I wanted to say there is room for mercy,” she said.

Specifically, she said, she “wanted to counter, as gently as I could, with a reminder of (the illegal migrants) humanity and their place in our wider community,” she said, insisting she sought to “have these conversations in a respectful way.”
Republicans were outraged by Budde’s lecture of the president and vice president during the prayer service Tuesday.
“The bishop was extreme in her views — extremely out of line and out of touch, and what she did was uncalled for,” House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-Mich) fired back. “Perhaps we should pray for her.”
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) posted to X that Budde “should be added to the deportation list.”

Conservative religious leaders across the country also panned Budde’s remarks.
“I can’t argue with how Trump responded, I was there and I agree,” Sean Feucht, of Let Us Worship, told The Post.
Pastor Rob McCoy, the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Thousands Oaks and co-founder of Turning Point Faith, argued that Budde’s “substituting the orthodox teaching of Christianity for an emphasis on sexual preference is why the American people have left these churches.”
Budde has been an Episcopal bishop in Washington, DC, since 2011 and hasn’t been shy about wading into politics. Back in 2020, for instance, she blasted Trump for wielding a Bible outside St. John’s Episcopal Church after authorities had cleared up a protest in the nation’s capital.
