Trump says it’s time to move on from gay ‘marriage’ battle: ‘The Supreme Court ruled.’

LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Donald Trump was asked whether the issue of marriage's redefinition is "a dead issue for the GOP at this point."

"Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution]," said Trump, "but it's not going to happen. Congress can't pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that's making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it."

In June, Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he had evolved on the issue of marriage, and supports "traditional marriage." At the time, he was pressed by Tapper on whether Trump's three marriages undermined his position.

"They have a very good point," said Trump. "I have a great marriage. I have a great wife now. And I – my two wives were very good. And I don't blame them. But I was working, maybe like you, 22 hours a day."

"I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," he said.

Trump told the Reporter that he had been to the gay "wedding" of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.

You might want to check ballearthout, another mouthy noob. He and GoneSalt signed up on the same day.

Well, GoneSalt has been zotted. Time to check out the other troll.

I'm usually pretty good with spotting retreads that I've crossed paths with, good catch on the double.

GoneSalt? You still reading?

You richly deserve it, you little freak.

I guess he went back to Reddit like he said he would, LOL.

The problem is the public support for same-sex marriage is too high to ever get an amendment passed at this time. It could’ve easily been done 15 years ago. I wish someone would explain to me why conservatives never tried.

We probably do have enough support now to get an anti-abortion amendment, an amendment to end birthright citizenship and a balanced budget amendment passed. I wish someone would explain to me why conservatives aren’t trying.

Dred Scott was also the law of the land. Roe V. Wade is the law of the land Donald so we let it all stand?

If one can appoint the right judges, one can change a ruling like Dredd Scott, etc. Another process is by constitutional amendment (Prohibition). I read him saying that is not going to happen by simple majority; Congress cannot repair the damage unless the people repent of their sins. It will probably take catastrophic punishment for that to happen.

I wasn’t the only one to think they sounded alike.
Considering they both went after the same people...

Hey! Retread! (Or is it “Liar?”)\

Bad Day in Black Rock for retreads it seems.

Just so you’re up to speed on things.

Well, Salty.. You may or may not be a retread.
I wouldn’t know.. but there are ways of being a contrary butthole here...

And you ain’t skilled in any of them.

I think the troll thought he would shock me by telling me to take a flying F, but people tell me to F off all the time.

Some force in the universe makes me have to leave the house every time a zot event is getting ready to happen. I don’t understand it.

*Sigh* Back after the fact, I guess...
