The Aaron Carter Attention Whore Tour (TM: Queerty) visited GQ recently, and the former child star turned possibly bi guy and Trump Troll did NOT disappoint.
Carter hits every cray-cray base, from claiming that he’s “stressed” from all the attention (yeah, right), to explaining whatever it is that he does now as “carrying the torch” for Michael Jackson. He also claims that he’s still a millionaire and the rumors of him being broke aren’t true.

Oh, and his new single drops on April 1st. The jokes just write themselves.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
We’ve compiled some of the craziest tidbits and, well, read for yourself. Note: it works best if you do away with the punctuation in your head and just imagine it all as one long rant:
On his politics:
What made you so interested in the election this time around?
I mean, recently I’ve been rebuilding my life, I’ve been rebuilding my image and career. I went from five years ago making $30,000 a year doing the off-Broadway production Fantasticks to the next year getting back on my feet, proving myself, and grossing over $1.5 million that year. Everyone thought I was broke, but I actually haven’t been broke. There have been a lot of things people don’t understand about my story. So I kind of just find myself being able to relate. I like what he’s doing for taxes for the people. And I like what he’s focused on. Like, let’s worry about our deficit right now. And about our country. And about how we can actually make it great again. He’s proving that sometimes you have to file for bankruptcy and rebuild. I can relate. I’ve been through it.
On why Michael Jackson fans who bully him should be ashamed:
Have you ever gone through this kind of bullying before?
Of course. I told people earlier this year that Michael Jackson passed a torch to me. Because he did. People in Michael Jackson’s camp, you can interview them and they will tell you that he did. They will tell you that. I was passed the torch, in how to treat people and what to do with my career and my life. And Michael Jackson told me he started recognizing me from when I was a little boy, because I broke his record when I was eight years old, being the youngest guy to have four singles in the Billboard charts at the same time. I broke Michael Jackson’s record for it. And I broke it with one of his songs, “One Bad Apple.” And so he knew about me. He said, I watched your career. But I got bullied by all the so-called Michael Jackson fans. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, if you’re reading this article. And Michael Jackson would be ashamed of you. Because you do the exact opposite of what he stood for.
On taking things personally…because he’s, ahem, personable:
Do you take it personally?
I take everything personally, but that’s because I’m so personable. And that’s because I can really relate to myself, I can really look in the mirror and know what I’m all about.
Fox News should give this one a show. The level of cray on display would make Bill O’Reilly seem like a saint in comparison. As for the Donald Trump support? Well Trump did say he loves the “poorly educated,” so there’s that. If you’ve got a strong stomach, you can check out the rest of the interview over at GQ.
Try not to give it too many hits…a cover could possibly be next. And nobody wants that.

Aaron Carter filed for bankruptcy exactly 3 months and 12 days after stiffing my company, Bandago, for nearly $10,000 (we rented him a tour van).
Bankruptcy law says any debt rung up within 90 days is not dischargeable. So Aaron knew exactly what he was doing when he filed, carefully waiting until we would have no recourse, completely screwing our small business.
He didn’t even bother to fill it up with gas before he did so.
No wonder he admires Trump!

Accept it, Trump will become president. He’s the greatest thing that ever happened to the homophobic Republican Party. Just like Obama, he was against gay marriage to win the evangelical votes. Come election time, he will change his tune. I remember when he was interview about gay marriage this year, his answer was ” I’m for traditional marriage but gay marriage has been decided by the courts.” It’s true, no matter what you opinion about this issue, the can’t be change anymore, you can’t take away rights that’s already been granted. Trump will be a president. He will finally something about the uncontrollable illegal immigration. He is not against immigrants, he married one. It’s the lying media like Queerty that brainwash the gullibles.
Mack
@leobaga: Excuse me but YES those rights can be overturned. All they have to do is get a conservative majority on the Supreme Court and a lawsuit filed (and that will happen). Just like they’re waiting to overturn Roe v Wade. Don’t think it’s a locked up thing because it’s not. You’re just a Trump troll. He’ll lose by a LANDSLIDE.
GC1985
@leobaga: Accept nothing. Trump is a homophobe who has been against gay people vocally for a decade now. He has no shot at the White House because of his shockingly high disapproval ratings. Americans overall can’t stand him nor do they trust him. He is a compulsive liar (much like you and other Trumpettes). The most he will be President of is his failed businesses that hire undocumented immigrants.
Check mate!

This delusion of being Michael Jackson’s entertainment ‘heir’ is getting tiresome.

@Mack: Another fear mongering. No, the supreme court can’t roll back gay marriage decision. Certified homophobe Cruz previously called for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. It isn’t going to pass. Trump is right, “It’s the law of the land.”

He has no chance, fool.
“”I don’t say anything. I’m just for traditional marriage.” – Donald Trump’s REAL stance.
Donald Trump is as anti-gay as Ted Cruz, period.

@leobaga: So what are the other issues are enough for me to support such a despicable man? Immigration? Well Trump hires a lot of undocumented immigrants in his companies. He also basically admitted to tax evasion by saying he “pays as little as possible in taxes”. How nice.
Get a reality check. He would be harmful for the entire country and he’ll get crushed in a landslide.

I’ve posted this before. If it was any of us, we would be sitting behind bars for years for racketeering (RICO Act).
You guys know that Donald Trump was nearly indicted for racketeering in 1981? He wasn’t as he had some friends in the Reagan administration.
leobaga
@GC1985: you are insane. You quote from dailykos, a totally bias liberal site. Try again.
youarekiddingme
@leobaga: You are comparing Trump to Obama? That is a great joke! Do you really think he’ll support the LGBTQ Community in the ways that Obama has? Please give me a couple of examples of that. Him saying that “it’s been decided” is hardly support. He cannot stop the Legislature from writing laws and bringing them forward (much like have occurred with health/Obamacare). How many times has Congress attempted to appeal Obamacare (last count was 24…all denied by SCOTUS). Now you’re saying that because he “says” same sex marriage has “been decided” that Congress will do nothing more about it…What about after he appoints a couple more conservative justices to the Supreme Court? Any thoughts on that? You don’t think Congress will try to do an “Obamacare” with same sex marriage and challenge it with the Supreme Court? Let’s be realistic now shall we?
I would love to reside in your world but unfortunatelyI have to live in the real world (REALITY). Good Luck with your brother…Donald Trump!

leobaga
@GC1985: All fabrications. All lies. Try again.
leobaga
@youarekiddingme: You’re the one not living in reality. Stop the fear-mongering. Even if Trump appoints conservative justices, gay marriage will NEVER be overturned. It takes 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress to pass an amendment in addition to ratification by the states. There is zero chance of an amendment. In addition, legislation cannot make something that has been ruled unconstitutional legal – period.
GC1985
@leobaga: Just because you say so? Where is your proof? None of what you say makes any sense. You Trump supporters are so ignorant.
@leobaga: You are clueless. Trump is a social conservative who would appoint a conservative to the Supreme Court.
Be prepared for the loss in November and say hello to President Hillary for me.

@GC1985: You and many pundits have called Trump a clown, and many mean names and said he wouldn’t last – it’s the summer of Trump… and the fall, winter, spring, summer, fall, winter, spring, summer, fall, winter etc. of Trump! Now, he’s the frontrunner. Do not be too overlyconfident. Trump hasn’t started on Hillary yet. Trump will walk away with the nomination squeaky clean from the GOP primaries, and will be ready to tear Hillary apart. Wait till November, buddy. You’d be surprise! 🙂
Alex Goodman

GC1985
@leobaga: You are a little bit of a headcase like your candidate. Hillary is much too powerful for Trump to take on. She withstood eleven hours of BS from republicans. And yes your candidate is a clown. And being frontrunner of a traveling circus doesn’t mean much. Most Americans don’t like Trump and won’t vote for him. Can you say landslide defeat for Donald? His ego will be smashed.
Hillary will destroy him and you will run away like the coward you are. Nobody can take down Hillary at this point and certainly not Trump. And squeaky clean huh? Is that why Ted Cruz is gaining on him and a split convention looks increasingly likely?
You’re as dumb as a rock. You need to tone down the confidence. 60-65% of Americans don’t want Trump as President. Be prepared for defeat.
Creed Crutchfield
One hyphenated word: Burn-out.
youarekiddingme
@leobaga: Now try to keep up with me on this rather “simplistic” overall lesson on how the US Government works in relation to the passing of laws…
First, a number (up to 3) Supreme Court Justices will probably be appointed by the new president. Guess what type of justices he is likely to appoint if he’s a republican? That’s right, conservative and anti-same sex marriage!!
Second, Congress (who passes laws, I.e. Legislature) will bring forth a law modifying (that’s all modifying) the current law on same sex marriage. It will be “contested” as unconstitutional and guess what will happen at the Supreme Court level? This has been going on with Roe v Wade for some time and the only reason it hasn’t been overturned is because of the makeup of the current court!!!
Third, WAKED UP!! Same Sex Marriage and Roe v Wade wont’ be the ONLY two decisions to be overturned if a republican gets to appoint 2-3 Supreme Court Justices!!
Please go study your Constitutional Law Books. Fuck you and Fuck your fear mongering you little boy! If you understood ANYTHING about how this government worked you would have cause to be concerned but instead you and the other log cabin republicans run around sucking the c@cks of the likes of Donald Trump!!
DCguy
@leobaga:
So your reason for voting for Trump is that he’s a liar?
leobaga
@youarekiddingme: It didn’t happen in Canada, it didn’t happen in the Netherlands, it didn’t happen in Belgium when conservative leaders took office. It won’t happen in the United States. Give it up, it’s a dead issue.
Trump is right when he said:
“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.”
Back during the Kim Davis marriage-license standoff in Kentucky, Trump additionally remarked that she should have obeyed the law, noting that, “You have to go with it. The decision’s been made, and that is the law of the land.”
GC1985
@leobaga: You are voting for Trump because he is a liar. DcGuy nailed it. Trump will pass gas whatever way the wind is blowing. He is a prolific liar. So you believe he isn’t telling the truth when he says he is staunchly against same sex marriage? You’re incredibly delusional. And no it isn’t a dead issue. This isn’t Belgium or Canada. Conservatives are working around the clock to roll back rights. And your fool of a candidate also supports religious freedom bills.
You like his lies and you love being lied to… Just another braindead gay republican who has no clue what he is doing.
youarekiddingme
@GC1985: He’s gotta be a new screen alias for Alistair!
youarekiddingme
@leobaga: So, let me get this straight now. You’ve changed the concept of your argument from “you have to get a constitutional amendment to change same sex marriage” to “it didn’t happen in Canada…in the Netherlands…in Belgium…and it won’t happen in the United States…” How do you draw an analogy/conclusion from those countries to the US in this matter? You do know what they call that kind of an argument don’t you? Ever hear of a logical fallacy?
Quoting Trump and saying, “…Trump said it right when he said…” Again doesn’t make your argument any more valid. Trump has BEEN PROVEN to repeatedly LIE and CHANGE HIS OPIONIONS on many issues…What does he call it? According to Trump…He’s staying “flexible on the issues.” What makes you think he isn’t “flexible” on this issue? (I’m now using your fallacious argument (which I don’t agree with) against you).
Try to put together some of your own cogent thoughts when arguing your ORIGINAL POINT. The original point was the constitution amendment. You were wrong. Admit it. Period. Trump is “flexible on the issues.” Admit that. His words. He can EASILY change his stance on gay issues and go after gay marriage after saying that it’s the law of the land when he appoints 3 very conservative justices to the Supreme Court. Wake up and smell the conservative republican coffee/cool aid.
