<<Despite Trump's supposed gay positive stance,>>
The problem with Trump -- and this is a difficulty for those who purport to support him almost as much as it is for those who don't -- is that he has no intellectual center, no moral principles, no political philosophy, no convictions or beliefs to guide his thinking, no anchor or rudder by which to form policy positions or to adopt stances.  Nothing he says has any meaning or value beyond the moment in which he says it.  And so your observation about the reactionary government he is forming is right on point.
