Did you read that Trump attacked a Bishop and demanded an apology?

[Anonymous]

Critics are condemning President Donald Trump for his attacks on a bishop who urged him during a religious service this week to govern mercifully, particularly when it comes to LGBTQ people and immigrants.

I watched it live, at least part of it.

I've never seen a sermon like that effectively addressed at a person and how wrong they are.

Honestly, I thought it was bold and balsy to make such a statement. The president himself supports free speech and she did that because of the concerns people have. It's relevant to hear and consider the concerns.

Thus, I accept it and wouldn't apologize. She has a right to her view and free speech, possibly the only one she'd get to state the priority concern. Not speaking and talking about love and peace and ignorning the real issues, would be an insult to her God. Frankly, from a New Testament viewpoint, she is right.

From a USA perspective, he is more right in his job. There's always been a conflict between Jesus and Rome... even Jesus said so.

So there, as someone that supports Trump in general and voted for him, I support what she said. That said, I wonder why he was there and how she was chosen and if he was setup.

So whatever...

He is doing everything he can to SUPPRESS free speech.

Trump has been threatening people and groups all over the place. He is especially cruel to many who are helpless or close to it. All she did was ask him to consider not being so callous and find the good in people. Her mistake was expecting Trump to be human. After the service he got in her face and criticized her then went on national media and attacked her harshly. Why can't he just have a heart attack and die?

'Cos President JD would be so much better. At least Trump's probably going to let his ego get in the way of doing the wrong thing.

[Asker]

I share your sentiments but wishing people illness and death is very bad karma.

And Vivek essentially resigned before he even started. Same chaos as the first failed term lol

[goaded]

What a terrible thing! A Christian asking the powerful to be Christian!

that so called Bishop used her pulpit to push her anti Trump agenda with the President and his family sitting right in front of her. It was incredibly rude and inappropriate. Trump is right, she should apologize.

I imagine that this Bishop has not taken in any illegal aliens to live in her house. I bet she is a total hypocrite like most liberals.

[Asker]

Did you read what she said?

I watched it on live TV. She was criticizing President Trumps plan to deport illegal aliens. Exactly what the American people voted him into office to do.

[Asker]

I don't think what she said it mattered to criticism. She was simply asking him to be merciful to people. I can see how both you and he found something like that offensive because generally speaking both of you find Mercy to be an offensive concept.

[exitseven]

read between the lines. she was taking potshots at him from behind the pulpit. She did not think Trump would fight back

[Asker]

She is also entitled to free speech just as he is.

[exitseven]

you are correct.

He has done nothing to LGBTQ and he is removing violent criminal illegal immigrants. There is no mercy needed there. Where was "mercy" for Lakin Riley and the other people murdered by these criminal illegal immigrants? There is no other country on Earth that would allow immigrants to enter without going through the proper legal process. Legal immigrants in the U. S. overwhelmingly support this policy.

Who invited that person to the event?

[Asker]

He attended a church where she was officiating

[Lliam]

"She" doesn't look like a she.

[Asker]

That is really not the issue.

[slatyb]

An apology? For what?

[goaded]

For asking Trump to be Christian. Be like the Good Samaritan, she didn't even talk about the money changers!

[princeofromance]

This is the first I am hearing of this.
