Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated, Trump apparently thinks — just so long as the faith community is telling him what he wants to hear.

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.

                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” ???
