    OK, I get criticized for not giving trump kudos (even though I have in the past... ok, rare, but I have). So here's one:

    Trump administration pushes for end to worldwide criminalization of homosexuality
    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tr...to-worldwide-criminalization-of-homosexuality

    Furthermore, I read that even pence was on board. So... kudos.

    I will also give trump the benefit of the doubt that he didn't understand the question (and not what some believe... that he was unaware of the new policy).

    Does this reconcile with the wishes of his electoral base and judicial nominations? If Obama had made headway on this initiative would he still support it?

    I think the right wing only cares about homosexual rights when it pertains to Islam.

    Hopefully a clear statement will follow on marriage, insurance and other basic human rights...

    We can only hope. Bit I'm afraid they will be content as long as they can say "we are better than Muslims at least".

    From what I remember, Trump has been supportive of the gay community.

    From what I gather from the media, he is very homophobic.

    Actions speak louder than words. When he reverses his stand on patriotic transgender Americans serving in our military, and there are thousands, and apologizes for his bigotry towards them, then I'll consider believing any of this. Now? It's BS.

    Very much this. Just seems like a convenient cudgel to beat Muslim countries over the head with. Some good may come of it in the end. But I don't trust the Trump Administration to pursue this project with an acceptable moral compass.

    Here's a tweet (and more important, a news item) that deserves recognition. Shame trump doesn't do more of these types of tweets.

    Sorry, that one was taken by trump's other idiot son eric. You will just have to come up with something more clever. Or with the earlier suggestion @pretendsnottobeatrumpsupporter
