Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults.

“I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any age,” said Trump, receiving thunderous applause at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington last month. The Republican leader, who moments earlier had also pledged to reinstate a ban on transgender men and women serving in the military, paused for several seconds to soak in the crowd’s adulation.

It’s the kind of moment — and the type of policy — increasingly common on the GOP presidential campaign trail this year.

    Evangelicals hang onto this chump’s every word. They have zero credibility. Funny how they’re supposed to love everyone and be tolerant, but they’re the most hateful intolerant people I’ve ever known.

      yup Trump is literally the epitome of lying, greed, adulterering,etc… They just choose to not believe any of it… That’s the problem with people like this. They’ll believe any fucking nonsense and that’s the only proof they need… Their faith.

      We as a species that needs to evolve and hopefully last 65 million years like dinosaurs did will need to get past this phase of humanity. Sadly in my lifetime it wont happen, but hopefully eventually it will.

      Need some fucking aliens to show up or something
