BREAKING: Donald Trump has a midnight meltdown over the bishop who called him out to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral, calling her "not compelling or smart" and "nasty" before really digging in.

This is the supposed "Christian" president that Evangelicals flocked to support...

"The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater," the president wrote on Truth Social.

"She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart," he continued.

"She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions," Trump went on.

"It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!" he wrote.

As is it to be expected, Trump's characterization of Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde's remarks was deeply dishonest. Instead, she simply asked him to show mercy and "compassion" for marginalized communities.

"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said.

"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking 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," she added.

She also pointed out that migrants are workers who "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques.

The fact that these incredibly reasonable and empathetic words caused Trump to fly off the handle in the middle of the night says far more about him than it does the Bishop. Her words were chewing at him all day, eating away at his insecurities about himself, until finally he couldn't take it anymore.

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive.

Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

Dear MAGA,
You like to say that “everything was better” under Trump, and so I want to know, what was it that was that was better?

Job gains?
Nope.
Before the pandemic, Trump was averaging 176,000 jobs a month over 3 years.
Biden’s monthly average is 400,000 over the same span.

Unemployment?
Nope.
The lowest under Trump was 3.5%.
Biden got it down to 3.4%.
In fact, unemployment rates for Hispanic workers, Black women & people with disabilities have all hit record lows under Biden’s watch.
The Black unemployment rate, which Trump likes to boast about, reached an all-time low during the Biden era earlier this year.

The GDP?
Nope. Trump saw a 14 percent uptick during his term compared to about 22 percent since Biden took office.

Were your bridges & roads safer while Trump promised it was “infrastructure week” over and over, or when Biden finally passed the bipartisan bill?

Was your insulin less expensive before Biden forced big pharma to lower their prices?

Sure, gas prices were lower during the worst of the pandemic, inflation spiked & prices for goods soared all over the world as we came out of it, but after his steady hand, inflation is falling & gas prices have lowered.

The price of goods are still disproportionately high thanks to corporate greed & already rich CEOs getting even richer.

In fact, the only people who truly benefitted under Trump were the billionaires.
The collective fortune of America’s 748 billionaires topped $5 trillion in September 2023, a near record high, and up an astounding $2.2 trillion (77%) since enactment of Trump’s national debt-inflating tax cuts.

Are you a billionaire?
Then yes, things were better under Trump.
Otherwise, you’ll have to tell me exactly what you mean when you make that claim. The world wasn’t “more peaceful”, the country wasn’t more “united”, the economy wasn’t stronger, and the $7.8 trillion your guy saddled us with for generations hasn’t “made us great again.”

Or is it that when you say “better” you mean that the occupant of the Oval Office openly hated the same people you hate.

And that is all you think you need.
It doesn’t fill your gas tank or put food on your table, it doesn’t make us safer or stronger.
But it “feels” better.”
Isn’t that right?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Bryan Cranston on Trump:

"I've stopped worrying about Donald Trump's sanity. He's not sane. And the realization of his illness doesn't fill me with anger, but with profound sadness. What I now worry about is the sanity of anyone who can still support this deeply troubled man to lead our country."

Do you agree?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:

I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong.  Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”
