How Much Lower Can a Man Go?

I am so sick of him already.....and now this.
Trump has said how religious he is and such a god-fearing man. He invites folks to the Washington D.C. church and hears a sermon. The Bishop spoke about most immigrants being good neighbors and not criminals. She said that there were gay, lesbian, and transgender children who are now fearing for their lives. Then when Bishop Budde asks him, in her sermon, to have mercy on such immigrants and transgenders he comes back with a nasty rebuke on Truth Social. He called the Bishop "so-called" and a Trump hater. He wrote that the sermon was "uninspiring", "nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart."
What a jerk! A downright nasty man that can't see what the Bishop was trying to do. She was later on a show I watched and she is very soft-spoken, gracious and intelligent. I'm not a religious person at all but I certainly respect and admire what religious clergymen do and their sacrifices. For Putz to say the things he did just shows how ignorant and uncultured he is. The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt feels that Budde should apologize for "the lies she told". What? The Bishop says she won't be apologizing. For what anyway? For asking for mercy for these people? For him to show some decency?
Calls to crisis hotlines and LGBTQ youth suicide prevention have gone up by 33 percent since the Inauguration. Isn't their lives hard enough without Trump doing this to them?
The picture is from my collection.

If you hate Trump sp much, stop looking for news about him, especially news that agrees with your personal feelings.
Secondly, society has changed. We're raising a generation where "feelings" matter more. No morals or intergeity exists. You can go on social media, put yourself out there, you're going to have to listen to the other side of the coin here. I am sorry about it if feelings get hurt, but you do it to yourself. Live your life, just don't act like the world ows you something because someone might not share your views.

Feelings seem to matter less not more. I never have said one time that the world owes me anything. I am living my life. People don't have to share my views. I have a right to write posts about how I feel and that won't stop. I have followed Trump for many years, long before he got into politics. As I have said many times I will be posting about many different subjects. Some you may like and some you won't. If you don't like the post move on. I don't do anything to myself. I write what I wish about what I wish. If you can't handle the subject matter or have issue with what I say go somewhere else.

@celticeagle You have a perfect right to verbalise what many people feel.

There are a lot of questions the “religious right” should be asking themselves. This is one. (Why he refused to place his hand on the Bible during the swearing in ceremony is another.)
However, please don’t limit your disdain to 47. An article from 2023 showed that the former head of the Southern Baptist Convention, hardly a “woke” person, says that mainline Christians are rejecting, as too “liberal” and “weak”…
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.

I am an atheist but have always respected the Bible and clergyman. This is really pathetic. I think he is weak not the church or it's doctrine.

@celticeagle — there’s a warning (prophecy) in the Bible that the last days will introduce people with “a form of godliness, but denying the Power of God.” Here we are, with so-called “Bible believers” denying the very teachings of Christ.

Where would that get me? Don't you care about what is going on out in the world? You should. It could concern you or those close to you. I'm too curious and like to be aware of what scum like the Putz is up to. I care about what happens to others and, how others are treated by this jerk. Hide away if you wish. That just isn't me.

@celticeagle I will generate hide when it is not going the way I wanted. Life is too short to be stressed over it. So I prefer to be a hermit and let others worry about it. Especially this is something that happen half a world away

The last time he was in the Whitehouse there was a demonstration. To disrupt it he went to stand in front of a church holding a Bible (upside down) then went back. He can't expose the fact he is an atheist before his moron followers who are supposed to be WASPs

Yes, and he wasn't even supposed to be in that area. He doesn't care. It's all about him.

@celticeagle this is what happens when parents do not toilet train a child.

Yet I read at one point that she said he was respectful in his criticism.

He has the right to his opinion of what she said. Just doesn't seem to get it or where her plea came from. It's all about him.

Her sermon was very measured and not at all an attack on Trump. It was a plea for him to show grace and compassion. . . which he is unable to do because he is awful. JD Vance was on camera making faces while she was speaking. Lip readers have decoded Tiffany Trump's comments to her husband.
Trump bashed her and a congressman said she should be deported when she was born in. . . New Jersey.
I don't think she did anything wrong. She politely mentioned a current issue and asked for grace and kindness. But Trump is Trump so of course he can't handle anything that goes against him.

That is what I heard also. I thought she was very kind and thoughtful in what she said. If Trump is apposed he is hateful and mean. No liberal behaviors in his world.
