Trump – who opposes transgender rights, would appoint justices to repeal equal marriage and opposes federal anti-discrimination protections – claimed in a speech after the massacre that he is a “real friend” of LGBT people, insisting a victory for Hillary Clinton would lead to the deaths of more gays.
Donald Trump says in a Facebook post that the decision of the British people to get out of the European Union was a vote “to reassert control over their own politics, border and economy”.
