On Day one of his first

On Day one of his first full day as the 47thPresident, Trump and the First Family attendeda prayer service and was, for lackof a better word, ambushed by the RightRev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishopof Washington, who used her sermon tosend a message to Trump, urging compassionfor LGBTQ+ people and undocumentedmigrant workers.“You have felt the providential hand of aloving God. In the name of our God, I askyou to have mercy on the people in ourcountry who are scared now,” said Budde,who has criticized Trump before.Asked afterward by a reporter what hethought of the service, Trump said: “Not tooexciting was it. I didn’t think it was a goodservice. They could do much better.”(The BLUES believes the church knew fullwell what this psycho was going to do andit was totally inappropriate. In our opinion,she should be fired )Afterwards, President Trump met withcongressional leaders, announcing an investmentin artificial intelligence infrastructureand demonstrating one of hisfavored expressions of power: firing people.The president posted on his Truth socialmedia network early Tuesday morning thathe would fire more than 1,000 presidentialappointees “who are not aligned with ourvision,” including some high-profile names.Trump fired chef and humanitarian JoséAndrés from the President’s Council onSports, Fitness and Nutrition, retired Gen.Mark Milley from the National InfrastructureAdvisory Council, former State Departmentofficial Brian Hook from the boardof the Wilson Center and former AtlantaMayor Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’sExport Council.118 The BLUES - FEBRUARY ‘25118 The BLUES - FEBRUARY ‘25
