US President Donald Trump has criticized a service at the Washington National Cathedral after he was called out during a sermon.
St. Marian Edgar Budd pleaded with Trump for “mercy,” citing feelings of fear among the LGBT and immigrant communities.
Shortly after being sworn in as US president on Monday, Trump said he would make it “official policy” that there are “only two genders – male and female”.
He too promised to stop illegal immigration to the country and said millions of “criminal aliens” would be deported.
Speaking to the press afterward, Trump said he “doesn’t think it was a good favor.”
“They could do a lot better,” he added before walking away.
