Dumpus responds to SCOTUS LGBT ruling (clearly no one was willing to tell him what it really means)

Daniel Dale ✔ @ddale8 (CNN)

Trump on the LGBT ruling: "They've ruled. I've read the decision. And some people were surprised. But they've ruled and we live with their decision. That's what it's all about. We live with the decision of the Supreme Court. Very powerful. A very powerful decision, actually."

1. He's always the kid doing the book report who didn't read the book

He always just makes it up off the top of his moronic brain

He sounds so fucking stupid.

[alwaysinasnit]

8. Just wait until the Evangelicals set him straight.

[SoonerPride]

10. Yes

They are all ready to drink the bleach

[gratuitous]

2. I'm just going to go ahead and call bullshit on this

Trump claims he read the decision?! I'd find that doubtful under ordinary circumstances. The opinion in Bostock is 172 pages long.

[fleur-de-lisa]

7. Not only did he not read it, he didn't understand the CliffsNotes version that was recited to him.

He has a vocabulary of about 100 words and half of them are macho adjectives.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. Very strong, very powerful words. Words are getting done very quickly.

Ahead of schedule. Some are saying they've never seen anything like it before.




He can't stop selling cheap condos.

3. The fact that he didn't threaten to fire Gorsuch

(which, of course, he can't) indicates that he has no idea what the decision meant (and we know for sure he didn't read it himself).

[Nevilledog]

4. Question should have been "Can you explain what the Supreme Court decision means?

[LakeArenal]

5. For all the word salad we're supposed to eat,

You’d think he’d be thinner.

[SoonerPride]

9. Hahahahaha

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

6. He read the decision...

[Celerity]

25. he read

[BamaRefugee]

11. "The decision is part of a decision-making process, in which decisions are made. Only a few people,

like me, understand that this means a decision has been decided. When a decision has been decided, the decision is done. Some say maybe the most decisive way of deciding decisions."

[blugbox]

14. Decidedly.

[hibbing]

16. Not a lot of people have heard of the word "decision" n/t

[BamaRefugee]

19. I knew I left something out!

[lunatica]

20. The Decider in Chief.

[Jarqui]

12. He doesn't want to piss them off so they'll be

more receptive to a ruling on the election after Nov 3rd

[Crunchy Frog]

13. I doubt that he actually gives a damn about the issue.

He probably doesn't grasp that it could depress his voter turnout, especially among evangelicals and other homophobes, since one of his own judges was on the "wrong" side.

Edited to add Exhibit A, from Twitter.

I am sick. The number one reason I voted for Trump was to prevent a left wing loon from being appoint to #SCOTUS. Now Trump's pick is making up laws giving transgendereds new rights? Trump and GorSUCK have betrayed conservatives.

[MotorCityBeard]

24. I agree with you.

I don't think gay or transgendered people bother him at all, or I should probably say they just don't register with him. He is from New York and would be used to all kinds of people.

Of course his fundy base will lose their collective shit over this, then he will come out strongly against this.

[hibbing]

15. At least I'm laughing

So the statement would have been the same regardless of the decision?

Peace

[ProfessorGAC]

17. He Didn't Write That

A bit too reasonable. Although the "I read the decision" is consistent with a lie he would tell.

[fleur-de-lisa]

18. I believe it was an oral statement.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Thorazine?

Lithium?
If he actually said that, he's clearly on something.
Or he read a prepared response he didn't write.

[Marie Marie]

22. Trump trying to spin his way out of a loss.

Loser.

[matt819]

23. He read it

Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahaha

[Goodheart]

27. "A very powerful decision, actually" is his way of admitting he doesn't know WTF he's talking about.
