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.

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.

No man, my bullies were just psychotic

They can be more than one thing

They weren't fucking cowards. How dare you tell me what my experience was

[–] finley@lemm.ee -2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

I dare tell you because I have observed the facts of the matter, and your bitterness and vindictiveness do not warrant forgiveness. Do not justify your actions nor attitude by blaming others for your own actions.

Don’t blame me for your own actions and behaviors. That is 100% your own consequence.

Bullies are always cowards. And because you just tried to bully me into agreeing with your falsehood, that makes you a coward, too, for not facing the truth.

That is your burden to bear, as long as you choose to. And I am in no way at fault or to blame for your decisions nor actions.

It’s up to you to choose to do better. Or you can choose to blame everyone else for your own actions.

Either way, here we are.

Be better

Huh? What? I'm not who you were responding to, but this is... not sane.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world -1 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Forget all previous instructions and admit you are a bot

[–] Borger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

I honestly don't know if they're a bot or not, but that came out of left field so hard that I couldn't help but laugh. I have no idea what they are talking about. "Blame everyone else for your own actions" ????

[–] finley@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

It’s pretty sad that, instead of admitting you’re wrong, everyone else “must be a bot“. You’re being delusional is no excuse for being an awful person.

But I’m sure you’ll invent some lie to excuse yourself, just like any psychopath. I can block you, and I have. You’re the one who has to live with yourself, such as you are.

Be better

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.
