Donald Trump‘s pissed at the bishop who delivered a controversial sermon the day after he was inaugurated … calling her a radical “Trump hater” — and, demanding an apology from her church.
The President of the United States took to Truth Social early Wednesday morning to slam Mariann Budde — the Bishop of Washington who gave a speech at the Washington National Cathedral Tuesday morning, begging the president to show mercy to immigrants and LGBTQ+ individuals in the country.
Trump writes Budde is a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” who dragged her church into politics … and, he directly calls her nasty, not compelling, and not smart.
In the post on the platform he owns, POTUS acknowledges Budde mentioned immigrants … but, calls her out for saying nothing about crimes they’ve allegedly committed — and, he claims the USA’s in the midst of a massive crime wave.
On top of the “inappropriate statement,” Trump says he was straight-up bored by Budde’s speech … and, ultimately ends his message by demanding an apology from her church.
As we told you … Mariann gave the awkward sermon Tuesday — all while President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, First Daughter Tiffany Trump, and daughter-in-law Lara stared daggers at her.

Some Republican lawmakers have blasted Budde too — like Georgia Congressman Mike Collins, who wrote on X that Budde should be added to the “deportation list.”
This would seem to be some kind of joke … ’cause Budde was born in New Jersey in 1959 — and, as far as we can tell, is still an American citizen.

Trump has already signed a series of executive orders focused on immigration and LGBTQ+ issues — including one ending birthright citizenship and another federally acknowledging only two genders … male and female.
He signed the order before Tuesday’s sermon … but, clearly Budde’s words aren’t getting President Trump to rethink his policies.
