Donald Trump On Marriage Equality: “It’s Not My Thing”
By Queerty Editor
February 6, 2013 at 11:05pm · Updated on August 2, 2014
Donald Trumpcalled in to the Howard Stern show this morning to discuss pressing issues like marriage equality, Snooki, and Kim Kardashian’s “fat ass.” When asked to “go on the record” with his thoughts on marriage equality, Trump carefully fumbled his way through an unsurprisingly inadequate answer.
“I’m not [for gay marriage]. It’s not an argument that’s been discussed with me very much. People know it’s not my thing one way or another.”
Since when did not discussing an issue justify your opinion on it? We wish the legendary radio talk show host would have probed a little deeper, but it probably would have cut into the precious time set aside for plugging Celebrity Apprentice.

@Rockery: Unfortunately, he is the biggest attention whore of all time, coupled with some sort of histrionic personality disorder, which equals biggest douche bag of all time. He is no longer relevant and needs to STFU.
Who would have thought the The Donald believes in the sanctity of “traditional marriage”? Ivana Trump (m. 1977 – 1992); Marla Maples (m. 1993 – 1999); Melania Trump (m. 2005)

GINGRICH, LIMBAUGH, VITTER, MC CAIN, CRAIG, PALLADINO, GIULIANI, BARR, ENSIGN, TRUMP, LEE, SCHWARZENEGGER, SANFORD
And all while espousing FAMILY VALUES and attempting to legislate the morals of others!!!
One of the most dramatic cinematic scenes I’ve ever experienced was at the end of Schindler’s List, when Oskar Schindler was tallying up all of the people he could have saved, if he only wasn’t so avaricious.
Chances are slim that this wad will ever have that sort of insight. He’s right up there with that 700 Club gas-bag that never knows when to stop talking. He is an embarrassment to the United States. A rube.
One time, after class, a friend wanted to go to Trump tower to look at this mosaic horse in the gift shop below the living quarters. We were both in art school and her specialty was glass. Trump has grossed me out since the early eighties, so I went reluctantly, against my better judgement. We were treated as though we were untouchables. Granted, we had been drawing for eight hours and casually dressed, however, the employee of this store was such a snot that my friend left there furious. I told her to consider the source. New money is obnoxious. My grandmother used to say, “‘Class” is a funny word, the minute you mention it by name, it disappears.”
Does Donald Trump not realize he’s living in a state that has marriage equality? Someone should ask him doesn’t he support the law of the state he’s living in and respect the decision of the NYS legislature?

Even though I don’t like his politics, this interview was actually REALLY entertaining. He is such a drama queen, and so petty.

I can’t stand this fool and his stupid comb over. He’s been behaving so bizarrely lately I’m wonder if Alzheimer’s dementia is setting in.

Donald Trump does not believe in any marriage, straight or gay. The only thing he believes in is money.
