PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hundreds of guests in tuxedos of all styles — sequined, quilted, velvet — and colorful gowns sipped on Trump-branded champagne and martinis. Between courses of steak and bite-sized Key lime pie, they danced to “YMCA” and “Macho Man,” the disco anthems at Trump rallies.
Thursday night’s Log Cabin Republicans’ “Spirit of Lincoln” gala in the main ballroom of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago beachfront club was a joyous celebration of gay rights and — in a case of ironic timing — the historic same-sex marriage law signed by President Joe Biden days earlier.
The long-planned event in honor of the conservative LGBTQ organization’s 45th anniversary brought in Republican notables like former Ambassador Ric Grenell, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), former State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus, who emceed the evening in a feathered turquoise gown, and former GOP gubernatorial candidate from Arizona Kari Lake, who was swarmed by guests eager to meet her and take a photo.
But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump. He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.
“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”
Throughout the evening, speakers praised Trump for his embrace of the gay community. They credited him for his initiatives to combat the criminalization of homosexuality, his work pushing for public heath initiatives to combat the HIV

The Bible says we will know someone - not by their mere words but by their works/fruits. God chose a tough, coarse-talking, shrewd businessman instead of what many Christians would have preferred - a pleasant, soft-spoken pastor-like gentleman - for the job of POTUS during these tough times. This book makes it plain to see why God chose Trump. For a short 200-page book, the author goes straight to the point by listing a lot of great information - Trump’s accomplishments and associated Bible verses, quotes from speeches, dates, and references. It reads like a smartly-written how-to manual on forming national policies using Biblical principles in a easy-to-understand format. I never thought I would find a Christian-political book so interesting - couldn’t put it down! I loved how the author tied each of Trump’s accomplishments to a specific Bible mandate. At a time when almost every media outlet is openly and unashamedly biased against President Trump, this book cuts through the media misinformation and lists all of his pro-Christian accomplishments year by year - from his pro-life policies, his pro-Black America stance, pro-Equal justice policies, international Religious Freedom initiatives, pro-Israel stance, his recent Middle-East peace agreements, and the list goes on and on. The most amazing thing to realize is all of the events in this book are happening in real-time right under our noses! Every American pastor and teacher should read this so they can be informed about our President and know how to answer their congregations’ questions. A must-read!

This is an extremely important book. In this day and age with media being unapologetically anti conservative and anti Trump, one must have the right facts ready - the ones that the left choose to ignore, and the ones that people unfortunately never bother to check up on.
From 2017 all the way to Sept 2020, this book details the monumental ways in which Trump has accomplished what he set out to do - to make America great again by revisiting its family values, by reducing unnecessary bureaucracies and calling political correctness for it is - a mob-imposed gag order.
These accomplishments portray a man on a mission, and I am glad to be alive in this watershed moment. Reading this book will equip you to know the truth about his presidency, and to be inspired to fight injustice the same way Trump has.
To the undecided - let the facts speak for themselves, and may your ears be attentive. After 4 years of incessant rhetoric that ends with -ist suffixes (racist, supremacist, sexist etc), trudge through these 200+ pages and see if those glittering labels hold up against actual facts.
To the Trump supporters - warning - certain speeches (especially towards the end of 2020) are sure to fire you up and increase your already high respect for President Trump.

I bought this book for my husband but I read it in one day upon its arrival. It is truly a great read! Best I can describe it, is: a bible study on President Trump’s accomplishments. Pastor Steve has done a wonderful job of cataloging the MANY pro-christian accomplishments and matching them with the WORD of God. I prayed the Word as I read these matches. Book showed how much this country and our leaders need prayer. We need to pray for our President as this book shows that he has been “chosen for such a time as this”.
We have not heard almost any of these accomplishments on the news! This is very shameful and speaks so poorly of our News outlets. This is not journalism! But this book comprehensively covers what we need to know about all the pro-Christian actions the Present has taken. We need to praise the Lord that we have this President and that a Pastor like Steve Ciccolanti has supported him. Pastor Steve has given us a gem. I plan to share the contents of this book with family and friends. If I can make a difference in one person that will be so good! People need to know what Ps Steve has written! Thank you
Because they are so discriminated against.
That said, Rush told us from day one that candidate Trump was not a social conservative. And he wasn't and isn't.
I will always be thankful for President Trump protecting 2nd Amendment rights; and a lot of other important stuff. He probably added ten years to the life of our Republic.
Whatever else, I pray that President Trump will turn and fully embrace the Light.
Trump is on wife number three and screwed around for most of his adult life. There is not the slightest chance that he is socially conservative.
You’re absolutely right.
Growing up in NY I knew who Trump was and, at first, did NOT want him to run. He was an admirable guy and patriot, but a liberal on social issues who hung around with and voted for dems.
His kids pulling him to the right on issues like guns, his smashing the Bushes/Obamas/Clintons and the MAGA agenda etc. won a lot of us over.
Stuff like this and him doing impossibly stupid things nearly every day lately doesn’t bode well for another 4 years of Trump... in his eighties.
Politico knows this “charge” against Trump is something Trump can neither defend nor attack but will cost him support from the base. Also Politico doesn’t need to prove it was actually said.
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”
We need God’s judgement on our nation to fall from on high. Leaders who have no godly wisdom about homosexuality as a lifestyle and infantacicdal baby murderers have no business in political leadership of this nation under God. Imho.
Isn’t this the crazy Dude that believes Trump is sent by God due to blood moons during his Presidency?
Is this true?
Trump has always been gay-friendly.
Here he was in 2016:
Selling LGBTQ apparel on his website.
You are over reacting. The LuggButt community (i.e., the loud mouthed activists parading the flag for personal power)is now pushing to normalize pedo. That is where all the drag queen crappola is coming from.
Within that group there are those steadfast against anything that would hurt the weakest among us, the kids. You know, the ones the PedoPres likes to fondle.
Chief among them are the gays that are screaming against pedo and basically just want to live out their lives in peace. DJTrump is defending them. In parallel the MSM treats any such defense as support for the LuggButt community — precisely so conservatives like you will abandon DJT.
It is divide and conquer. Don’t fall for it.
As to gay marriage, I am against. But, if a bunch of gays are willing to help protect children I can temporarily abide their presence.
No.

Trump trolls
Trump got rid of Roe Vs Wade as tied to the Constitution allowing Gods Grace onto this flailing nation, and possibly for that reason
Trump has Grenell and Tammy Brice present two champions of the Constitutional US who are not gay militia
Trump will never allow religious persecution in this country
And-
This is Politico
Give it 48 hours
A reminder from William F. Buckley:
Homosexuals are entitled to not be casually hit by a truck. They, as human beings, are entitled to the same protections from murder as heterosexuals have.
You can view that as a camel’s nose under the tent, or you can view it as common sense.
We are people without a country. This is evil.
Not sure why folks are so shocked, Trump was never Conservative as he has always been a Leftist on Social issues..with the exception of abortion and I now wonder if that was a put on by Trump..
I know many gay people — some quite well. Every one I know is highly successful.
Transgender not so much — and rightfully so. Mental illness prevents them from succeeding…
