Donald Trump is only a day into his presidency and he's already getting into new feuds with people.

The latest subject of his ire? Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who was filmed asking the president to "have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now" including "gay, lesbian, and transgender children," before telling him that "the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals" at a service in Washington National Cathedral.

In The Daily Show clip above, host Ronny Chieng gleefully replays footage of Trump looking less than pleased during the service.

"New executive order: We are banning church," says Chieng. "Hey bishop, please! We don't go to church to hear a lecture about having mercy on the less fortunate. That's not what church is for! And Trump was like, 'I only came here because I heard there were free crackers and now I'm getting roasted by Tig Notaro.' He was probably looking up at Jesus on the cross and thinking, 'You and me both, brother.'"
