WASHINGTON — The White House said on Monday that President Trump would leave in place a 2014 Obama administration order that created new workplace protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. In a statement issued in response to growing questions about whether Mr. Trump would reverse the Obama order, the White House said the president was proud to embrace gay rights. “President Trump continues to be respectful and supportive of L.G.B.T.Q. rights, just as he was throughout the election,” the statement said. “The president is proud to have been the first ever G.O.P. nominee to mention the L.G.B.T.Q. community in his nomination acceptance speech, pledging then to protect the community from violence and oppression.” https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/30/us/politics/obama-trump-protections-lgbt-workers.html?_r=0Thank goodness. It's odd that he found one vulnerable group he can empathize with or gives the appearance of empathizing with. I have read a lot about Putin. He is capable of all kinds of bigotry but he seems immune from the anti-semitism that characterized many of his predecessors in Russia and the former Soviet Union. It seems even a dictator or wannabe dictator can find one vulnerable group to empathize with. He is likely tying to create fissures in the Democratic base and not to appear totally declasse in the eyes of his rich New York pals.
