Trump was in Washington, D.C., for a national prayer service on Tuesday when Bishop Mariann Budde, who was born in New Jersey, pleaded with him during the service to have “mercy” on undocumented immigrants and other marginal groups, whom Trump has targeted during his campaign.

Budde shared her response to Trump's scathing critique of her church service on The View -- detailing her intentions behind her sermon, which saw her ask the president to show "mercy" toward the LGBTQIA+ and immigrant communities.

Episcopal bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, on Monday, urged Donald Trump to show compassion towards marginalised groups, including gay, lesbian, and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants.
