I suppose he's proud of himself.
I hope that's the worst of it; traditionally gay people have a had a tough time of it & I suspect that if Trump thinks there are votes for him by being hard on them, he'll make things worse for them.

Trump will try to make himself lifetime president, he wants to be king.

Horrible though it is, that woluldn't surprise me. He has delusions of his own importance. But surely, that would be a step too far for most,even some of his supporters - but then, who knows with those people, it might not be safe to oppose his nibs.

I have to wonder, why are they so afraid of difference?

Well...I doubt there'd be any shortage of volunteers to do that...

They always are though, aren't they. Hitler took strong exception to anyone different too.
Doesn't bode well, the way that lot over the water are going. You have to wonder how long before Canada & Mexico cop their first lot of refugees. They may even have to set up an underground railway.

It's all a smoke screen and disruption to hid behind so the grifting is not noticed in all the fuss.

Maybe so, but people will suffer as a result - not that his nibs & his mates are bothered, as long as they get support from some they can feel that non supporters are 'other' & once a group is 'othered' then it can be open season if that suits them.
Which, given his behaviour so far is possible.

Trump pardons Silk Road dark web market creator Ross Ulbricht

Meet Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht, just pardoned by Donald Trump

"On January 21, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump granted Ulbricht a full and unconditional pardon,[4] following a promise at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention.[84]
President Trump said of the pardon in a Truth Social post made on January 21, 2025:
I just called the mother of Ross William Ulbricht to let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross. The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!"
