Bakers refused to make pro-Trump birthday cake for 9-year-old boy: Report
The Washington Times ^ | August 7, 2017 | Bradford Richardson

Posted on 08/07/2017 5:36:32 PM PDT by Ciaphas Cain

A boy whose letter to President Trump made national headlines last month reportedly wanted a pro-Trump cake for his birthday party, but his mother was unable to find a baker willing to fulfill the order.

At the July 26 White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from a boy named Dylan who said Mr. Trump was his favorite president. When she later released the letter publicly, the boy’s last name was blacked out. The only identifying clue was that everyone called him “Pickle.”

The media scrambled to verify the letter’s authenticity, and the next day, The Washington Post confirmed it was sent by 9-year-old Dylan Harbin of California.

The Post reported that, when Dylan asked for a “Donald Trump cake” for his birthday, his mother “made him one herself, because she couldn’t find a bakery willing and able to do it.”

Michael P. Farris is president, CEO and general counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Christian legal group defending Jack Phillips, a Colorado baker who was sued by a gay couple for declining to make their same-sex wedding cake.

Mr. Farris wondered why bakers are allowed to decline to make birthday cakes supporting Mr. Trump, but not wedding cakes supporting same-sex marriage.

“Are leftists brain damaged? I know they act that way, but I’m beginning to believe they actually are.”

All leftist thought, from the limousine liberalism of a George Clooney to the murderous horrors of Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot, is of and from Satan. Leftism is a contaminant in the human cognosphere, not a natural component of it.

Satan is smarter than we are, and he never sleeps. Those over whom he has the most influence are like maniacally evil energizer demons.

Whom Satan would destroy, he first blinds to reason. You can guesstimate the degree of Satan’s control over a person by the intensity of his commitment to leftism and the declining evidence of sanity.

Go somewhere else. Only stupid people turn down legitimate business. Actually the baker might have peed in the batter.

“Quit watching FOX News!”

Quit yelling! I was stuck in a pitiful motel in a podunk town for a family reunion with very limited options for news, and no wi-fi. Gimme a break.

Hard to believe they couldn’t find a Pro Trump baker

"The Washington Post confirmed it was sent by 9-year-old Dylan Harbin of California."

Not hard for me.

‘The media scrambled to verify the letter’s authenticity’

Of course they did! Because it is only important to try to destroy children who like Trump, right?

Should have gone to WalMart. I had a “Rot in Hell Teddy” cake done the day after he died, took it to work in my Dead Kennedys t-shirt.

Does anyone just make their own cakes at home these days?

This kind of childish entitlement on the part of consumers needs to stop.

Pickle should sue each bakery for discrimination.

I wouldn’t trust a cake made by some liberal bakery.


Sadly, in this day and age, I agree with you.

If I determined someone adulterated any food product to me or my family due to our beliefs or race I’d take them out but n such a way I’d not be identified.

It’s okay to discriminate when the Ctrl-Left approves (Trump), just not when a decent person is following scripture (gay “marriage”).
