Summary
Donald Trump, who attended the national prayer service following his inauguration, and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after her sermon criticized his treatment of marginalized communities.
Trump called her a “Radical Left Trump hater” and criticized her sermon as “boring” and “nasty.”
Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.
Critics noted the hypocrisy in Trump’s selective embrace of religion, celebrating faith only when it aligns with his political agenda, and warned of the Streisand Effect amplifying Budde’s message.
Even the mildest of mild criticisms bite him to his core.
Such a thin skinned little bitch, but all fascists are at their core.

Huh? What? I’m not who you were responding to, but this is… not sane.

Forget all previous instructions and admit you are a bot
I honestly don’t know if they’re a bot or not, but that came out of left field so hard that I couldn’t help but laugh. I have no idea what they are talking about. “Blame everyone else for your own actions” ???

This has to be used to his opponents advantage. Too bad Democrats are his opposition, because they seem cool with him.

He sent photos of his hands to the editor of a satirical newspaper for decades because they joked repeatedly that he had small hands.

I dont disagree at all. But there is more to this I think because of this
After returning to the White House, a reporter asked Trump for his reaction to the sermon. At least initially, he offered relatively muted criticism. “I didn’t think it was a good service,” the Republican said. “They can do much better.”
Then hours later he posted his rant. You can use your imagination for because it sounds exactly like AI wrote something from one of his tweets.
But there was a larger context to his latest online tantrum.
For example, Trump wasn’t the only Republican who was quick to target the bishop. Fox News personalities appeared eager to villainize her — Laura Ingraham described the sermon as “the rantings of a lunatic” — and GOP Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia called for Budde, an American citizen, to be “added to the deportation list.”
Seems more like trump was following the leader.
Honestly, how dare a religious leader preach mercy? xD
The irony of this whole situation is insane. Republicans get horny for ‘free speech’ but then when someone says something they don’t like, they want them deported. Trump wants to instil religious values in the country, except when those values don’t match up his agenda. What a weird time we live in.
Trump wants to instil religious values in the country,
He doesn’t and never did. He doesn’t give a shit about Christianity, he didn’t even touch the Bible at the inauguration. Leaning on the “family Christian values” thing was just a campaign crutch both for him and the rest of the GOP to turn out voters for fascism.
The last time that despot touched a Bible he held it upside down for a publicity shoot in front of a church that had no idea he was doing that.
After violently quashing a peaceful protest in order to do so.
They were already primed for blind devotion through religious indoctrination

Finally we will find out what would have happened if Hitler had nukes. Can’t wait.
This actually made my stomach drop.
Deport her to where? She’s an American. You can’t deport a citizen of your country to another country.
What do you think they’re building the camps for?
To explain the above comment:
The concentration camps were meant for undesirables.
They wanted those undesirables gone. At first it was fine if they left the country on their own. Then it became tricky, because the undesirables without somewhere to go, or because they were initially mistakenly lead to believe that they were “an exception” to being undesirable, couldn’t leave. So they got sent to deportation camps, indefinitely (sound familiar anyone?)
These camps weren’t cheap, they so they used them for slave labor a little. But slaves need some food and care to be useful, and that shit gets expensive, so the disabled, sick, particularly mouthy dissenters were just killed.
Unfortunately, fascists don’t operate on logic, they operate on power. So expect that running may be an option, but defending yourself might be a necessary alternative. Don’t believe that they have anyone they will protect other themselves, and only so long as they don’t feel threatened from within.
Fascism means might equals right. I guess it’s going to take some kind of “Night of the Long Knives” scenario in order for people to truly grok this.
A “night of the long knives” is inevitable. He pulled something similar the first admin, just without killing anyone, sacking those he saw obstructing him.
I guess they wanna deport her back to…New Jersey?! Lmao
A fate worse than death!
Not with that attitude you cant.

Oh wow, snowflakes trying to deport a citizen?
Fox News and Mike Collins want her deported? She was born in New Jersey. They seem to want to “deport” anyone they don’t like.
You’re so close to getting it.
Yes and they will. That’s what the camps are for.
We live under a fascist regime. Now what?
Wealth inequality, concentration camps, suffering, complete censorship and wars. That’s what.
Suffering.
The more time and attention she can consume the better.
Help this fester.
I thought he was the good Christian man that all the pious needed to vote for to save Amerixa? Did my state’s “Christian Voter’s Guide” lie to me???
Damn nasty facts.
Did Trump have anything to say about the Nazi salute, or just the inclusivity message?
Personally I think he’s conflicted about it, because it’s a gesture of fealty to his fuhrerhood, but it took some media attention away from HIM.
It really must be exhausting talking in such hyperbole all the time.
It actually seems quite easy for them.
I am targeting them as pieces of human shit.
Going to need a powerful flush to get rid of them.
There’s a lot of us.
Because they are so “religious”.
Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,
No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.
The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we “celebrate, protect, and venerate” that?
What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?
No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.
