Trump supporter Caitlyn Jenner now regretful: gives speech about trans rights being set back 20 yearsMartin Cizmar 12 MAY 2018 AT 19:28 ET
During the 2016 campaign, Caitlyn Jenner was a supporter of Donald Trump.
Trump would be good for women, Jenner said. Jenner said she would never ever ever vote for Hillary and that if Hillary becomes President, the country is over.
Some even credit Jenners endorsement as making a significant impact in favor of Trump.
But even as another member of her family comes out more strongly in favor of Trump, Jenner is having second thoughts.
Jenner bashed Trump in a speech to the British House of Commons.
As far as trans issues, this administration has been the worst ever, she said according to Page Six. Theyve set our community back 20 years, easily, Jenner said. Its going to be hard to change, but weve been through these types of things before and well continue to fight it.

Well, Caitlyn, get in line behind the guy in the other article who voted for The Asshole and now can't find seasonal workers for his landscaping business. It looks like there's going to be a lot more of you disappointed people in that line in the upcoming days.

You know libs, PoC and the poor, not a rich white hypocrite like Jenner.

(6,347 posts)No issues when he went after muslims, hispanics, people of little financial wealth, even everyday women - by which I mean women who, unlike her, lacked name recognition and it's associated social status.
Now, however, it's effective her personally so...in a true Portmanesque change of heart...it's time to turn the page on Trump because it's always all about me.
Tribalism as it's core.

Relies on low cost immigrants to work the summers.
Workers can't get visas.
Landscaper now has to turn down big contracts because he can't afford to pay "American" wages (read that a living wage in my book).
So...he's going bankrupt or expect to.
NOW...he's turning on Trump.
He was ok with the overt racism, misogyny, lying, cheating, p*ssy grabbing ways....but NOW...he's done.
The self focus is strong in this one.

(28,270 posts)First Trump came for muslims, hispanics, people of little financial wealth and Jenner was 100% for it!
Now he's coming for her and suddenly it's all wrong.

(67,102 posts)think many were OK with her sex change and supported her. But, she clearly did not give a fuck about anyone else but herself as Mr. tRump rose to power.

He didn't.
Just because you're talented or beautiful doesn't mean you're smart (on the other hand, it doesn't mean you are not smart). To paraphrase "A Chorus Line," Bo Derek is "Looks Ten, Brains Three."

(487 posts)A favorite memory for me, I remember as a kid following Bruce Jenner in the 76 Olympics. Watched most of it at my Grandmothers house. Event after event he went past the USSR super athletes. A bad ass in every respect and handled the win with super sportsmanlike conduct. One of my favorite people of all time at that time and afterwards. Many years later he appears on TV and I had to look at my own opinions and prejudices. After a while it was fun seeing him go through his/her change. Was seriously confused though on the episode on the bus when he so supported Trump. Still only makes him human. I wonder often why more Trump supporters don't see the hypocrisy of the republican agenda. I bet there are a lot of supporters that regret the vote.
