After awkwardly coming out on Fox News yesterday, Eric Trump now says he’s not actually “part of” the LGBTQ community after all.
The confusion started when Trump was asked on Fox & Friends about his father’s LGBTQ supporters, to which he replied, “I’m telling you, I see it every day, the LGBT community, they are incredible and you should see how they’ve come out in full force for my father every single day. I’m part of that community and we love the man and thank you for protecting our neighborhoods and thank you for protecting our cities.”

After setting off a Twitter frenzy, Trump issued a statement to the New York Post clarifying that when he said “I’m part of that community” when talking about the LGBTQ community, he wasn’t saying he’s LGBTQ, he was saying he has friends who are LGBTQ.
“To clarify, many of our close friends are part of the LGBT community, which was the intent of my statement,” the 36-year-old said. “The left has taken that vote for granted for a long time and support from the gay community for my father is incredible.”
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.
“As to me personally, as I think you know, I am a happily married man to my wife, Lara,” Trump continued, adding that he’s also not bisexual.
We’re so glad this has been clarified! Although, now we wanna know… Who are Eric Trump’s gay friends?

Thank you Jesus.

Thank God, Jehovah, Vishnu, Cthulhu, and any other power that was listening. You know he uses teeth.

Yes, both of Eric’s gay friends are voting for Eric’s dad.
The rest of the gay community is going to vote for the guy who is NOT insane.

Bret Stephens had a NY Times column the other day about a White upper middle class lesbian in NYC who’s voting for Don the Con. She refused to allow her name to be used because she worried her coworkers might get upset. But she’s all in for Drumpf. Basically everything she said was like a FoxNews drone, down to claiming the Clintons were behind the Russia investigation (though if that were true, wouldn’t Hillary Clinton have won? Just absurd and moronic). Sad to say, but there are more than a few out there like her.

@Kangol2
And the NYTimes will probably do 25 more interviews with her before the election.

Not insane, but suffering from a severe case of dementia. Yep. Go ahead a vote for a man and party that would run a cognitively impaired stooge with a nearly 50 year record in political office accomplishing zip, zero, zilch.

@Nunya, I hate that I have to defend Biden, but he has in fact accomplished some significant things in his 47 years in politics. For most of that time he was a US Senator, and then he was Vice President of the US. A number of his positions and votes when he was a US Senator were politically conservative, for a Democrat, while his work as VP was mostly to the left of his Senate career. You can look up the record, and there’s a long trail, but Spanky’s empty verbiage about Biden not doing anything for 47 years isn’t just a lie, but absolutely wrong.
I disagree strongly with a good deal of Biden’s record and votes, but Don the Con is far more of a present and future danger. And an incessant, pathological liar. Also, Biden never conspired with a hostile foreign country to become president, unlike Don the Con.

Yes – who are Eric’s gay friends, and why have they quit commenting here on Queerty? Lol
Although I bet Lara was disappointed to hear the “clarification.”
yah_sure_youbetcha
She can’t sit with us.

Let me guess. Eric’s gay friends are the same ones that Sarah Palin lied about having.

I’m truly relieved this idiot hasn’t decided to ‘come-out’ and spoil our tribe. One needs to be a little bit intelligent and this one doesn’t even generate enough spark to make a light bulb flicker. I think Gary Busey somehow got into the Trump gene-pool when Eric came along; they should really look into that. 😉
woodroad34
Oh? he’s ‘straight’? Straight from where, exactly? From the planet Ratfacedmofo?

Don’t worry Eric. From day one I pictured you as the life of numerous dungeon parties complete with water sports/sling/dog dish and featuring you in the tub surrounded by eight or nine guys whom all swallowed two six packs of beer and are cutting loose all over you. On your slow days I see an eighteen year old hairless twink sitting on a rim toilet seat and you below it. That just how disgusting you’ve always come off to me. Your face alone triggers those types of thoughts and your way of speaking doesn’t exactly thwart those thoughts from multiplying. And why lie, I’d love to put a hickory switch to your bare bottom but you’d like it and thats why I won’t follow thru with it.
barryaksarben
I can see your vision

Now I can’t unsee it!!!
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
@barry……..I can see him gargling with as much as his mouth can hold. That just how VILE he comes off. I hope his wife (I think he has one) had the good sense to renegotiate her prenup with him after his dad got appointed by the Russians.
TheMarc
Enough. This was never seriously in question. He’s a moron who misspoke and we knew that. Anyone giddy over adding him to the bus or who honestly thought he “came out”; needs their head examined. This went from how much of an idiot he is to clickbait.
Kevan1
We all know he is too dumb to be gay.
glennmcbride
With that hair cut – I never for a minute believed him to be gay or that he has gay friends.
M149
We’d know if he were gay because
1. His face wouldn’t be so ratched.
2. He’d have some empathy from growing up closeted.
3. Those brows SCREAM straight.

Thank the Lord , I can now rescind my resignation from our wonderful community !! but tell me who in their right mind can be one of his gay friends Please dont tell me its his brother !!

I’m waiting for them all to finally admit they aren’t really Christians either and were just pandering.

Thank God!!! I was about to turn in my Gay card!!

I happen to think he is AS GAY as a PARTY DRESS! I’m just furious at him (even if he isn’t) FOR NOT MAKING HIS FATHER do something positive for the LGBT community that he says HE IS A PART OF. I am also proud that his FATHER’S attitude TOWARD our COMMUNITY LIKELY COST him the PRESIDENCY and HOPE SOMEONE WILL START POINTING this out. I don’t THINK as many GAY MEN voted FOR BIDEN as VOTED AGAINST Donald Trump! Had he fought STRONGLY for GAY RIGHTS, proved it with a piece of LEGISLATION SHOWING IT, he would have EASILY GOTTEN 5,000,000 more votes!
