In his second Inaugural Address, Donald Trump notably expressed a strong commitment to America, its Constitution, and God, which resonated well with conservative audiences. However, his enthusiasm waned during the National Cathedral's traditional Service of Prayer, where he critiqued its lackluster nature. Trump's preference for more charismatic, Pentecostal worship was evident, contrasting with the service's ecumenical focus on unity and inclusiveness, potentially clashing with his agenda and the diverse messages of the readings. Ultimately, Trump's religious affiliations appear to be selective and politically motivated, favoring those that align with his vision.
By the next morning, when the National Cathedral held a 'Service of Prayer for the Nation,' Trump wasn't so jazzed with God's representatives in Washington.
It could be that the staid, Episcopal-designed ecumenical service in a Gothic cathedral wasn't the president's cup of tea.
