President Donald Trump wants an apology.
The 78-year-old President of the United States shared a statement on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday (January 22) aimed at Bishop Mariann Budde, who used a sermon to plead directly to him to “have mercy” on scared immigrants and transgender children.

“I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here,” she said.
“Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once
