Anyone breathing a sigh of relief that the Pedophile-In-Chief hasn't targeted the LGBTQ+ community yet, needs to have a huge reality check.

While it IS good that Dementia Donnie hasn't specifically targeted us in the past year, the bitter truth is that we remain low-hanging fruit (negative pun not intended). He's had far bigger and far more headline generating policies to focus on (like tariffs and having ICE kill innocent Americans), and these are far more popular with the MAGAt base.

As the legal system (including the Supreme Court - who'da thunk) and Congress continue to stymie some of his plans, he'll need to turn to more drastic steps to keep his base engaged - you know, like instigating a war in the Middle East and committing the US Military to battle it (hey, let's play RISK with actual soldiers).

Going after the LGBTQ+ is always an easy way to engage the Christian Nationalists and shore up some support. The hypocrisy of attacking the LGBTQ+ community while also having traitorous members of our community serving under him (Scott Bessent, Richard Grenell, Tony Fabrizio), doesn't register within the Oval Office.

Trump only attacks the T of LGBT. His 2nd or 3rd biggest donor, and "god father" of J D Vance is Peter Thiel, married to a man, His Secretary of the Treasury, Bessent, is also married to a man.

There is one "safe" (political) minority that he, Republicans, Christians, Muslims, Jews can attack it is the transgendered, about .0001 percent of the population, and most of them are in the closet, and the perfect foil for the god botherers.
