What Donald Trump Just Announced About Gay Marriage Will Create SERIOUS Buzz
People who wonder about Donald Trump’s clarity of principle and consistency of position on any number of important issues might find fresh concerns with what the Republican front-runner just said in a lengthy and wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
The article opens with an eye-catching paragraph: “In his first magazine cover interview and photo shoot as the leading Republican, the reality TV presidential candidate lets loose on Hillary’s email scandal (‘Watergate on steroids’), Bill Cosby (‘Was he drunk?’), whether he’ll go on Megyn Kelly’s show, why he won’t accept vice president, Melania as first lady, and if he even needs Fox News and the haters.”
But it’s Trump’s take on same-sex marriage that may cause the biggest buzz among both supporters and detractors — specifically, his assessment of whether the recent Supreme Court decision declaring gay marriage a legal right in all 50 states is settled law.
After telling the interviewer that he has attended a gay wedding — the marriage of a Broadway theater owner — the billionaire businessman was asked, “So this is a dead issue for the GOP at this point?”
Some people have hopes of passing amendments, but it’s not going to happen. Congress can’t pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that’s making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it.
Now while it sounds as though Trump is saying that a legislative response to the Supreme Court’s controversial gay marriage ruling is out of the question, he may be trying to steer clear of the big, hot-button social/cultural issue that concerns so many conservatives. In the past, however — in fact, in the very recent past — “The Donald” has publicly declared his opposition to same-sex marriage.
