Donald Trump has responded after Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde pleaded with the president to show Christian mercy to immigrants and members of the LGBT+ community. Trump was asked for his verdict on the bishop’s comments during the National Prayer Service on Tuesday (21 January), stating: “They can do much better”. The president asked reporters: “What did you think? Do you like it? Did you find it exciting? “Not too exciting, was it? I didn’t think it was a good service. Thank you very much.” Trump then added: “They can do much better.”
