The Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budd responded to Donald Trump calling her 'nasty' and 'not smart' after she cursed at him during a prayer service

The bishop who scolded Donald Trump responded to him called her “nasty” and “not smart” after she encouraged him to show mercy LGBTQ+ people and illegal migrants.

The Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde said her sermon wanted to “counter the narrative that is so divisive and polarizing and that harms people,” during an appearance on The View.

However, she refused to respond to his calls for an apology and said she would consider a one-on-one meeting – if the invitation came personally from the president.

Budde added that she has “great respect” for Trump’s office and vowed to remain “respectful” if a meeting were to take place.

The bishop of Washington spoke out after making an emotional plea to the president during a prayer service, saying many in the marginalized groups she mentioned “fear for their lives.”

However, her words fell on deaf ears and Trump immediately hit back at Truth Social, demanding an apology and labeling her a “radical left hardline Trump hater.”

“She has brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way,” Trump said angrily. “She was mean in tone, and not forceful or smart.”

It was an assessment that The View hosts clearly disagreed with, as they spent much of the segment fawning over the “fearless” pastor. ‘subdued and thoughtful’ tone during the sermon.

The day before, Budde implored Trump to “give mercy to those in our country who are now afraid,” invoking the Bible when she said, “God teaches us to be merciful to the stranger.”

“There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some of whom fear for their lives,” she continued.

On illegal immigrants, a central issue in Trump’s victorious presidential platform, Budde urged him not to go ahead with his mass deportation plans.

“The people who pick our crops, clean our office buildings, who work on poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work night shifts in hospitals, they may not be citizens or have proper documentation,” she said .

“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. I ask you to have compassion, Mr. President, for those in communities whose children fear their parents will be taken away.”

Trump didn’t respond to the pointed message as he stared at Budde, though others in his group, including new Vice President J.D. Vance, had more telling expressions on their faces.

Speaking to reporters at the White House shortly after the service, Trump was more reserved than his Truth Social rebuke, but briefly said he thought Budde “could have been a lot better.”

He later rejected the “boring” sermon and refuted its statements about illegal migrants.

“She failed to mention the large number of illegal immigrants entering our country and killing people,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

‘Many have been deposited from prisons and psychiatric institutions. It’s a massive crime wave happening in the US.

‘Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was very boring and uninspiring. She’s not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!’
