From the Daily Mail: President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunning sermon calling for him to show ‘mercy’ to migrants and transgender children.

On the first full day of Trump’s presidency Marianne Budde, a left-wing Episcopal bishop, unleashed a wild sermon claiming trans kids were ‘fearing for their lives’ due to him being in the Oval Office.

Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the bishop claimed some people in America were afraid following his election.

It is tradition for new presidents to attend an interfaith service at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington on the morning after Inauguration Day.

WUSA9 News explained:

The Cathedral, in the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Northwest D.C., is a Protestant Episcopal congregation but has opened up its prayer service to leaders from many different faiths and religions.

Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, LDS and Sikh leaders will attend and offer their own prayers, in addition to members of other Christian groups, during what Eckstrom described as an “interfaith and ecumenical,” event.

Addressing Trump directly during what was supposed to be a worship service, Budde lectured:

“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you… and as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

“In the Name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.

“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens, or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues…and temples.

“I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.

“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our God, for the good of all people… in this nation and in the world.
