Trump: 'I think it's great' seeing Buttigieg onstage with his husband
By Brandon Conradis - 05/16/19 04:34 PM EDT



President Trump in a new interview said he thinks "it's great" seeing openly gay Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg appearing onstage with his husband, adding that he has "no problem with it whatsoever."

"I think it’s absolutely fine. I do," Trump said when asked about the pair on Fox News's "The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton," in an interview to be aired Sunday.

When Hilton pressed him further, noting that it can be taken as "a sign of great progress," Trump added, “Yes, I think it’s great. I think that’s something that perhaps some people will have a problem with. I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think it’s good.”

Trump is just being pragmatic, what's done is done.

I still say if Gay Marriage wasn't legalized,  Trump never would have gotten the nomination.   But since it became a moot point, he never had to address the issue with social conservatives.

The President's not taking the bait.  Good.

Buttigieg's going nowhere.

   Not saying anything would have been the more appropriate response but I realize that's not in his wheelhouse.     @Right_in_Virginia

I think you're wrong @corbe   Not answering the question would have been reported as the President hiding hostility toward gays.

Hey, Trump is fine with it, I wonder how many of his supporters will now jump on the Trump LGBT train?

He also (earlier) called him Alfred E. Neuman, and said something to the effect that he shouldn't be running on his personal life.

As predictably as it was his critics would claim this makes him the Grand Marshal of the NYC Pride March.

What you do in your own bedroom is your business.

However, I don't want gay people in positions of power, because their worldview tends to be warped.
