What do these Trump supporters have to say about the removal of the LGBT page from the Whitehouse Website? Do they love being doormats?

Is this “Everyone’s President”?

  They’ll make up a myriad of excuses I’m sure… they’re all so deeply in denial about this whole thing!

    They don’t care as long as they got their rich white man president.

  My God, how stupid can you be? ALL the pages from the Obama administration were taken down BECAUSE HE’S NO LONGER PRESIDENT! Do you read the papers?

BTW, how do you know it wasn’t OBAMA admin who removed the page with the negative assumption that Trump doesn’t care? Gays4Trump. Yes Please.

  Because people have brains. Well most people. That’s how you know it wasn’t Obama.

Let it be known that Gays are as capable of racism, misogyny, and bigotry as any other group. Sadly.

  Absolutely. Being LGBTQIA does not make us any better than others.

Most vocally LGBT supporting candidate to ever run on a “republican” ticket. #Trump4gays! Liberal NYC democrat runs as a republican and everyone loses their minds! #gottaloveit!!
