Trump trying to turn lgbtq folks against Muslims is despicable...

You can find homophobia in every religious dogma. That is not a knock on religion. It is just a fact.

Trump trying to turn African American folks against Hispanic immigrants is despicable. They aren't stealing their jobs.

You don't need a PhD in sociology from Berkeley or a PhD from political science from Harvard to see he is trying to create fissures in the Democratic base by setting one element of it against another.

to see this in such black and white terms. Either you like Muslim people or gay people...you can't like both!

Also, how insulting is it that he thinks gay people will buy into this thinking?

There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
