Caitlyn Jenner Praises Trump On Women, LGBT Issues In Latest WTF Of The Week

“I’m on the conservative Republican side,” she said when asked about issues facing the transgender community. “I’m not excited with what Obama has done to the economy, to our Constitution, all that kind of stuff. But as far as the transgender community, they’ve actually been very good.”

“Everybody looks at the Democrats as being better with these issues,” she added. “But Trump seems to be very much for women. He seems very much behind the LGBT community because of what happened in North Carolina with the bathroom issue. He backed the LGBT community. But in Trump’s case, there’s a lot more unknowns. With Hillary, you pretty much know what you’re gonna get with the LGBT community.”

Um ... what?! Trump has time and again insulted, belittled, sexualized and stereotyped women. And his record on queer rights, while less well documented, is also abysmal and includes a promise to consider appointing judges to overturn SCOTUS’ marriage equality ruling and a recent meeting with 400 of the country’s most anti-LGBT conservative Christians. And while he originally criticized North Carolina’s anti-queer HB2 law, he shifted his position a day later and said that states should have the right to do what they want.

1. money & privilege for Caitlyn hasn't improved thinking skills.

[jberryhill]

2. Why does anyone listen to what this vacuous moron says?

She got a sex change, not a brain implant.

Being transgender imbues her with no more wisdom or insight than any other moron with an opinion.

[jehop61]

6. Love it

you hit it on the head

[LoverOfLiberty]

7. Right on

Just another washed up has been trying to stay in the spotlight.

[tallahasseedem]

14. +1

Well said!

[struggle4progress]

3. "How can I get my name in the news again?"

[brucefan]

4. I want someone to explain to me

What exactly has Obama done to the Constitution?

[jberryhill]

16. Oh, you missed it?

[Human101948]

19. Is that Nixon in the crowd? I thought they drummed him out of that club!

And how come Reagan's hair isn't orange?

[tallahasseedem]

34. OMG, this picture is pathetic!

How many freeps have this framed and hanging on their wall? LOL!

[alc]

35. party matters

Probably because the perceived intent behind actions is different based on party.

I'd bet that if Trump uses EOs and responds to FOIA and congressional oversight requests like Obama, many the Rs who had "Constitutional issues" with Obama's actions will be fine, and many Ds who had no problem with Obama's actions will see "Constitutional issues".

Just like many of Obama's actions have been excused with "Bush did it too" by many of the same people who had problems when Bush did it and will likely have problems if the next R president does it.

5. I think Caitlyn doesn't care about the LGBT community,she only cares about herself

Anybody notice how she didn't say anything after Orlando? I'll say it..She's a terrible representative for transgender people.

[Miles Archer]

9. Remember those comments about wanting to be Cruz's "LGBT Embassador?"

She was all in for Cruz, a guy whose inner circle includes pastors who advocate the execution of gays.

I've never had enough interest in Jenner to know when he became...and now, she became...this person. I know that after the Olympics, he attempted a few business ventures and tried to make it as an actor, but pretty much everything he did faded away into obscurity. The kiss of death, I believe, was the Kardashian alliance. Once he ensconced himself in the Malibu compound with that family, nothing mattered except that bubble. And it seems that now, any statements she makes on "LGBT Issues" are nothing more than a Kardashian-styled attempt to stay "relevant" and in the spotlight.

[Faux pas]

8. Pretty clueless for a woman

if you ask me. Was the 'change' she went through for publicity?

[still_one]

10. Does it really matter what Jenner thinks? She is a person of privilege. It took no courage for her

to come out, as it takes no courage for her to support Trump

Jenner will have no issues with food or housing no matter who wins.

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Donald Trump has been a target of LGBT protest since the 1980's and remains so today.

The first ACT UP action against Trump's business practices:

November 25, 1988: Trump Tower Thanksgiving Action - ACT UP protests a lack of housing for PWA's while city gives tax breaks to wealthy developers. Numerous affinity group actions and arrests are made.

12. Maybe Caitlyn and Palin should get together.😂😂😂

To promote their pal the Trump.

[Ilsa]

13. Caitlyn who? NT

[Initech]

15. I don't think Caitlyn will ever wake up and realize these people don't support her interests.

[jberryhill]

18. Sure they do

What makes you think they don't?

Wealthy privileged empty-headed idiot supports wealthy privileged empty-headed idiot.

Where do you see any divergence of interests?

[Initech]

20. I was thinking more the LGBT aspect than the uber-wealthy elitist asshole aspect.

[jberryhill]

21. Being LGBT does not somehow imbue a person with concern for others

Anyone, including an LGBT person, can be an asshole.

Did it do anything for J. Edgar Hoover? Roy Cohn?

[Initech]

24. True.

[Rex]

17. Well she liked Ted Cruz too...so I don't know if she really has a clue as to what

the GOP stands for. I have a feeling she walks around in a bubble all day. Obama? The economy has never been better! What has he done to our Consitution? I missed that memo.

[EllieBC]

22. Oh I think she does understand what they stand for.

It's simply that being wealthy is a bigger part of who she is than being transgender. Because she's wealthy and well known, she will automatically receive a certain amount of tolerance from her peers (at least to her face) that is not given to the wider community.

She cares about herself first.

[Rex]

28. There ya go, only caring about herself is a strong GOP trait.

She has a lot in common with the GOP.

[oswaldactedalone]

23. Can you say

"Moran?" That's just idiocy.

[enid602]

26. VP?

Looks like tRump finally has a good VP pick.

[Koinos]

27. She just wants a speaking slot at the Republican convention.

She may get what she wants; there are lots of openings.

[geomon666]

29. Must be nice living in a bubble.

Then you can just make up whatever reality you want to believe in, like Trump is good for the LGBT community. What a joke.

[tavernier]

30. I'm surprised Trump speaks to her.

She is one ugly ass woman.

And hey, please don't yell at me for that comment - I'm entitled to my opinion.

[KG]

31. they're both ridiculous.

[cwydro]

32. Lol. I remember when DU thought Caitlyn was a hero.

I never did, but oh boy, one didn't dare point out her political stance or bubble brain.

[Elwood P Dowd]

33. So she wants the George W. Bush economy back

when millions lost their jobs, their homes, their savings, their retirement, and their dignity? She wants negative economic growth, negative job creation, record corporate losses, and massive Wall Street losses?

[Gormy Cuss]

36. She's entitled to her opinion

even when it's backasswards.
