During the service on Tuesday at the Washington National Cathedral, president Donald Trump and Vice president JD Vance did not cover their confusion. Bishop Mariann Edgar Buddha, known for her leftist views, took advantage of an chance for a political manifesto. Her word, although initiated with a call for unity, rapidly became a list of pretenses and demands, mainly a sermon about LGBT and immigrants.
Is that a sermon or a political manifesto?
Buddhas in her speech addressed Trump directly, calling for "mercy" towards sexual minorities and immigrants. Her dramatic appeal to care for LGBTQ children who “fear for their lives” was like a stick in an anthills.
There are gays, lesbians and transgender children in the Democrats and Republican families – she reminded the president.
In addition, she suggested that the Trump administration did not show them adequate "compassion".
Buddha went even further, presenting immigrants as innocents who “wash dishes in restaurants, work night shifts in hospitals and pay taxes.” The context indicated that the bishop evidently forgot that Trump had repeatedly stressed that his administration was only after criminals. But well, the left seemingly prefers to ignore the facts for the communicative of "mercy."

This is not the first time Buddha has utilized the pulpit to advance the left-wing agenda. In 2020, she criticized Trump for his reaction to protests after George Floyd's death. She accused him of "use of force against peaceful demonstrators". However, the culmination of her attacks was the condemnation of Trump for appearing with the Bible in front of St. John's Church. As she said, “Trump tried to take over spiritual authority”, which, according to Buddha, was “unforgivable”.
This time the bishop went even further, claiming that “we are all children of 1 God”, which was seemingly to justify her appeal for mercy to immigrants without documents. On the occasion, it has intertwined references to “diversity”, “respect of differences” and another fashionable slogans that usually appear in the left-wing dictionary. alternatively of praying for national unity, we could be impressed to hear a political rally.
Trump responds with unity – but under its conditions
In his inaugural speech, Trump made it clear that his administration would prosecute a society based on merit alternatively than identity policy.
"There are 2 sexes: a man and a woman," recalled the president, calling a ovation.
He added that social engineering policies would be eliminated and the rules would be the same for all.
Buddha, as could be expected, focused on her message of "compassion", which became a leitmotiv of her sermon. However, Trump and Vance’s reactions, who exchanged comments, suggested that they were not impressed. Buddha's words, alternatively of uniting the assembled, highlighted divisions that inactive divide American society.
