Donald Trump is demanding Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde apologize for (checks notes) preaching the Gospel.
Here’s what happened: Trump found himself in a church where the clergy had pledged to serve God, not Trump.
What we heard yesterday was the Gospel of Jesus preached: compassion, mercy, & justice. You don't hear that message in the white conservative evangelical churches Trump uses as photo ops.
No apologies, Mr. Trump. Christian clergy should never bend the knee or kiss the ring.
