I’ve never seen nor heard of a ‘perfect’ president.
And I’ve never seen a political campaign that didn’t necessitate at least a little bit of ‘pandering’ to interest groups.
And what if Melania really believed this? Would you want her to lie, or her husband to ‘shut her up’? What if Trump actually believed it? Would that make him any less the great President that he was?
Melania has lived and worked in a field where she probably encountered many gay people, heard their stories, and had sympathy with them and their situations. I doubt you have that same viewpoint or understand it.
I personally dislike the concept of ‘gay marriage’, but I have no problem with gay people ‘jumping the broom’ in some legal way. It’s healthier and better for them - as it is for everyone and society - to be in a committed, monogamous, long-term union.
Marriage and family are the foundation of a sane society. This is one issue where there should be no pandering. I don’t want to criminalize homosexuality. I said before, consenting adults can do what they want. But God created and defined marriage. Just doesn’t work if you tell me you follow God and at the same time are fine with gay marriage. There is by definition no such thing. And please look at this thread if you want to see where pandering to this particular sin has led:
