My hero is Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde who just told the Orange false god — to his face — that the actual God would have wanted more compasion for those in need.
Preach! 🙌🏻

@randahl He hated this, as did the rest of his entourage sitting there with him. The contempt oozing off them, and the dead-eyed stare from Melania is just awful.

@randahl don't really get her last sentence. Does she concider Native Americans to be 'once strangers' aswell?
But got to love the bravery she showed and the stupidity on Trumps face.

@Walter8100000 @randahl i thought it was just a reference to Deuteronomy 10:19 ("And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt."), but indeed it probably address all the population of the US as once being stranger, making an aside for Native American, who came a lot earlier, and probably before any other humans, would have made the message even harder to hear for trump, she certainly had to keep it simple.
Now, i'm not optimistic it'll make a diff…

@randahl Usha Vance pointedly does not return her husband's gaze, even as he whispers to her; she continues to gaze only at the Bishop, slightly nodding agreement at one point.
Mel is pissed, angry, her eyes tighten and narrow, her lips pressed and flattened. Nothing says hate and contempt like Melania's face - she, the only immigrant, the only stranger to America in that row. No one should ever feel sorry for Melania, she's as bitter, contemptuous, and hypocritical as her husband.

@randahl I hope it has an effect. He also appears at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach from time to time (also an Episcopal congregation—my home parish incidentally, where I was present for Barron’s baptism back in the day before I was ordained). The rector during his last administration was a friend of mine and he tried to preach sermons that might impact the guy. But he hears what he wants.

@randahl The idea that Trump actually has a religious bone in his body seems absurd to me. If he knew anything about the Abrahamic God he'd probably call him a sucker regardless of how many people he'd murdered.
