President Donald Trump claimed he did well among gay voters in the last election, and credited The Village People. Trump held a rally in Suffern, New York on Friday, where he was joined by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), who is running for reelection in New Yorks 17th congressional district.
The president was introduced by New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, whose physique Trump marveled at. Im looking at the legs, Trump said. Hes this beautiful guy. Hes got legs like tree trunks!
Later, he told the crowd that First Lady Melania Trump had requested the president not recite some of his regular rally lines. During the anecdote, he took a brief detour to say he did well among gay voters because he plays Y.M.C.A. by The Village People at his rallies.
[S]he says, Darling, please, you speak so beautifully, would you do me a favor? Dont do the swimming story. Dont do the weight-lifting story. Its so damn unpresidential. And also, darling, when youre leaving, and they have that song, gay national anthem,' Trump said, relaying the first ladys remarks. Thats why I did so well with the gay vote, I think, because of that song, he said. I did great with the gay vote, better than any Republicans ever done by far, but my wife, first lady, very elegant woman.

"Sweetheart that's why I got so many (insert slur) voters. They couldn't help themselves! They heard that (slur) national anthem and they just couldn't stop voting for me. I'm the king of the (slur) votes!"

(53,575 posts)Every time he brings up conversations with his wife, she is calling him "Darling". That is the first indication that he's just making shit up and the second indication would be he is Donald Trump.
His alleged conversations are like something from a really bad 1940s movie script.

(366 posts)His handpicked members of the Supreme Court and his Christian Nationalists seek to ban gay marriage. I doubt he did so well with this segment of the electorate. He's so delusional that he thinks making arm motions to a pop tune makes him gain support from gays.

(7,970 posts)To think a single song represents everyone within a group, and that it adheres that group one to the other -- and then naturally to him. under this reasoning, I suppose he thinks "I Am Woman" is a female national anthem?! I say again... what an idiot. Play a "gay national anthem" while working to kill the civil rights of gays and others under that banner? He just likes to sway his little feet back and forth while rocking his tiny fists in the air, sometimes in rhythm to the beat of the music.... whether or not he's paid for the right to play it in the first place!
Somebody save us, please!

(244 posts)watching his over the top fastidious attention to his manly cosmetic persona and Freudian quips regarding Michael Angelo David fixations of profuse admiration of manly body parts.
You know, its hard to ignore there is more going on here than just pandering to the gays with Y.M.C.A. Its also clearly a backhanded ridicule disguised as a twisted cultural awareness.

(3,933 posts)I cant think of the last time I had a conversation with a gay person where they werent primarily concerned with how often they heard YMCA being played.
Beyond that it probably garnered him a ton of votes from the DEI community as well. After all the band had representation from all sorts of ethnicities like Native Americans and Cowboys and Bikers and more.
(Obvious sarcasm tag just in case it is needed)
