Donald Trump’s Attempt to #AskTheGays Went Hilariously Wrong
In a recent campaign speech, Donald Trump couldn’t resist once again being, well, Donald Trump. He stumbled into a cringe-worthy moment, making an ill-informed comment that linked the LGBTQ+ community with Muslim extremists. He seemingly aimed to stir up controversy by highlighting the intolerance some extremists have towards gay individuals. His baffling line, “Ask the gays what they think and what they do, in, not only Saudi Arabia, but many of these countries, and then you tell me—who’s your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?” left many scratching their heads.
Not surprisingly, he painted a sweeping picture, suggesting that all Muslims are extremists who support harsh laws against homosexuality. Seriously, “Ask the gays?” That’s like the clueless uncle at family gatherings who you secretly hope doesn’t say anything during the holiday feast.
Twitter wasn’t having any of it and quickly responded to Trump’s misguided inquiry. The reactions ranged from disbelief to outright laughter, proving once again that social media loves a good roast.
