'Long four years': Conservative admits Trump just showed how he will 'exhaust Americans'

Donald Trump's feud with a clergywoman who criticized him to his face is just the first of many disputes that will "exhaust Americans," according to a conservative commentator.

The Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, begged for mercy over communities who would likely be impacted by Trump's policies, such as immigrants and LGBTQ people, and the president lashed out at her afterward in a late-night Truth Social post, saying she was "nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart," and Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson urged him to pace himself.

"I don't think that we're leaving that behind," Anderson said. "I don't think a conflict between a president and a religious figure is actually all that new. President [Barack] Obama famously clashed with bishops over a number of different issues, and I just am trying to always think of what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot. If you had a Democratic president in the audience and a Catholic bishop had gotten up and made a plea for the unborn, would we be having the same kind of conversation? The reason why we're having a different conversation is because of the midnight tweets, and that is where I think things get a little bit – this isn't just about the president, you know, running into conflict with a religious leader who is found pieces of scripture that may differ or they believe differ with the president's agenda."

"Is Donald Trump going to pick every single fight?" Anderson added. "We've got a long four years ahead of us. Donald Trump may well pick every single fight. He very well may, but this is the picking of every single fight, is it going to be the kind of thing that will exhaust Americans and take the focus away from the popular things in his agenda that he would like?"
