Melania Trump tweeted a video of herself posted Thursday discussing for three minutes the efforts the Trump administration has made to support the rights of the gay community, blaming sentiments that President Donald Trump opposes gay rights on his „many enemies in the political establishment.“
In 2015, Trump told CNN’s Jake Tapper: „I’m just for traditional marriage.“ And in 2011, before running for office, Trump was asked by Fox News‘ Bill O’Reilly about same-sex marriage. „I just don’t feel good about it. I don’t feel right about it. I’m against it and I take a lot of heat because I come from New York. You know, for New York it’s like, how can you be against gay marriage? But I’m opposed to gay marriage,“ he said. But Melania Trump in the video touts her husband as the „first president to enter the White House supporting gay marriage.“ A week after the election, Trump said in a televised interview that he was „fine with“ the Supreme Court decision to allow same-sex marriage, but it was not exactly a ringing endorsement.
