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

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

Cool, I know Mariann. She’s super cool. Im concerned for her and her husband right now.
edit: husband I mixed up her and Bonnie Perrywho is the Bishop of Detroit
Yeah “venerated” is crazy. Celebrated maybe, protected sure.
Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.
Oh wow, snowflakes trying to deport a citizen?
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?
Not with that attitude you cant.

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.
Damn nasty facts.
It really must be exhausting talking in such hyperbole all the time.
Because they are so “religious”.
