Trump criticizes sermon after bishop asks for ‘mercy’
President Donald Trump has criticized a service held at Washington National Cathedral after he called himself out during a sermon.
The Right Rev. Marian Edgar Budde asked Trump for “mercy,” citing feelings of fear among the LGBT and immigrant communities.
Shortly after being sworn in as US president on Monday, Trump said he would make it “official policy” that “there are only two genders – male and female.”
He too vowed to end illegal immigration into the country and said that millions of “criminal aliens” would be deported.
Speaking to the press afterward, Trump said he “didn’t think it was a good service”.
Before leaving he said, “They could have done much better”.
