A lip reader has revealed what the Trump family ‘whispered to each other’ during a bishop’s LGBTQ+ sermon.

In a speech made the day after his inauguration (21 January), Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde asked Trump to show 'mercy' to LGBTQ+ people and immigrants.

Addressing the President, she said that 'millions have put their trust in you' and that some communities were 'scared now'.

Forensic lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, told told MailOnline that when Budde said some people's 'hopes and dreams' would have been lost with the new presidential term, Eric Trump turned to his wife, Lara, and sister, Tiffany.

Tiffany then turned to her husband Michael Boulos and is reported to have said: "Can you believe it?"

Sitting behind Tiffany was her elder brother, Don Jr., who responded to someone slightly out of frame a few moments after reportedly saying: "I can’t believe it, no."

Eric also visibly reacted when Budde mentioned 'contempt' fuelling politics and social media, leaning back in his chair, seemingly shocked by the comment.

His wife, Lara, then whispered something to her sister-in-law Tiffany, which wasn't decipherable.

Tiffany later turn to Michael and apparently said: "Come on."

Don Jr then responded to someone out of shot saying: "Pardon...quite a bit," according to Freeman.

When Budde mentioned that the way to honour dignity is by refusing to mock or demonise people, the Republican leader turned to JD Vance before he turned back to the bishop again.

Speaking about humility, Budde went on to mention 'saying and doing things we might regret', which prompted Trump to turn to Melania and say: "Can you believe it?"

Melania then smiled at the comment.

Again, Tiffany turned to her husband and said the words 'good and evil', Freeman continued.

Rounding off her sermon, Budde outlined: "There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives."

After this, Vance turned to his wife, Usha, while Tiffany turned to her husband and made a comment.

"Millions have put their trust in you, in the name of our God, I ask you, have mercy on people in our country who are scared now," Budde added.

She continued: "And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labour in poultry farms and meat packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals - they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals."

At this, Tiffany reportedly turned to her husband and said: "This [is] crazy," while he responded with a head shake.

Trump then looked away from Budde, while Vance glanced at him from down the pew.

As she wrapped up the sermon and returned to her seat, Vance again made a comment in his wife's ear but it is unclear what was said, Freeman concludes.
