Bishop responds to Trump’s 5-word comment after she asked him to ‘have mercy’ on LGBTQ+ people and migrants

The situation you’ve described highlights a poignant moment

of tension between religious compassion and political priorities. Right Rev.

Mariann Edgar Budde’s emotional plea to President Trump—asking him to show mercy to marginalized groups like LGBTQ+

individuals and migrants—seems to have been met with a dismissive response from Trump,

who described the service as “not too exciting” and felt it could have been better.

In a broader sense, this interaction illustrates how political figures and religiou

s leaders sometimes clash on values of compassion, justice, and mercy.

Budde’s response, focusing on the humanity of those affected by policy decisions,

is a reminder that religious figures may use their platforms to challenge political leaders,

advocating for a more compassionate approach to those who are often portrayed in negative lights.

The situation also raises important conversations about the intersection of religion and politics—

especially when religious figures take stances that challenge political power or policies.

It’s a reminder that the role of faith leaders is often to speak truth to power,

even when it may not align with political ideologies.

How do you feel about the bishop’s plea and Trump’s response?
