Donald Trump says his views on same-sex marriage are 'evolving'
Daily Mail ^ | 10 November 2013 | James Nye

Donald Trump has admitted his views on gay marriage are 'evolving', however, the property mogul claimed that he is still a strong supporter of traditional marriage between a man and woman.

Speaking to openly gay MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts, the billionaire said that his views on the subject are different to what they were 10 years ago and pointed to President Obama coming out in support of same-sex marriage.

In Moscow as the co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, Trump attended Saturday night's pageant along with Roberts, who openly criticized Russia's anti-gay laws.

Evolving: Donald Trump has claimed that he is changing his mind on the issue of gay marriage but still believes in the traditional union of a man and a a woman

'I think I’m evolving, and I think I’m a very fair person, but I have been for traditional marriage,' said Trump to Roberts in an interview before the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.

'I am for traditional marriage,' Trump said. 'I am for a marriage between a man and a woman.'

Discussing the issue of same-sex marriage in society, Trump was asked if his outspoken opposition to Russia's infamous anti-gay laws had helped shift his opinion.

'I think really what you have is a very changing stance, and you see it changing very rapidly. If you go back 10 years ago it’s very different,' Trump responded.

Trump doesn’t know squat about American jobs. He knows real estate and that has about as much to do with jobs as truck driving has to do with milking cows.

Besides, who says his position on American jobs won’t “evolve”?

My views on Donald Trump evolved long ago — namely, into who cares what Donald Trump and his silly pompadour thinks about anything?

Obviously, Vladimir Putin also doesn’t care, or he would have had Donald Trump executed by his usual gang of thugs for his ‘’outspoken opposition to Russia’s infamous anti-gay laws’’ the minute he set foot in Moscow.

well the more intelligent ones are talking about creating jobs, not “bringing back” jobs - because that’s how the world works. But in the past week, I’ve heard Cruz, Huckabee and Santorum talk about jobs (albeit Huck and RS were wrong about a lot of it) - and Fiorina has talked about it.

Now, if you want to know who else shares your China obsession? Probably no one. Maybe one day you’ll figure out that WE DO NOT RUN CHINA. Meanwhile, I think I”ll have shrimp in garlic sauce today in your honor...:)

That explains why Trump spends all his time attacking Republican and Trump NEVER attacks Hillary. He and Nicole Wallace will attack Republicans because they secretly want Hillary to win.

Guess that explains why he chose Perez Hilton to be a judge for the Miss America contest.

In China's case, not really due to recent automation, but their finally moving out of the early industrial age into the 20th and 21st centuries. Still, a lot backyard iron ore smelters were put out of a job.

From backyard smelter to modern industry

And those early industrial age jobs in China were replaced by the US and other Western nations making massive transfers of technology and manufacturing capacity from advanced nations to China and other developing nations. That's how China became more modern.

Your 'point' means little or nothing in this conversation, but maybe now you can tell us how agricultural mechanization eliminated millions of farm jobs during 19th and 20th centuries.

I’ve brought up to feminists that no society that ever legitimized homosexual relationships in any context ever treated women like anything but dirt.

“evolving”.... LOL

I am thinking that the word “evolving” is another way to describe homosexual foreplay.

I am thinking that they don’t use terms like first base, second base, third base or home run, instead.... THEY evolve.

Good post. As to your last point, it was mechanization of agriculture that drove my mother’s grandparents to immigrate to the US.

Sad that he doesn’t pick one of his three traditional marriages to stand up for.

Oh how cute, the guy that makes getting married into a Guinness Book of Record on how many times he can marry and divorce gives us his opinion on fake marriage. Wonderful. So glad he spoke up because I have been wondering what this idiot had to say about it.

Exactly. It robs the word conservative of any true meaning.
