Donald Trump Babbles More Nonsense on Same Sex Marriage

Clearly, his reasoning for why he's against Same Sex Marriage is totally rational and should be clear to everyone.

At one point, he compared his opposition to the legalization of same-sex marriage to his reluctance to use a new kind of putter.

“It’s like in golf,” he said. “A lot of people — I don’t want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive,” said Mr. Trump, a Republican. “It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”

So embracing gay marriage is like embracing a new kind of putter.

Great.

It doesn't matter how you feel about it, Donald. I doubt there's a gay man in the world who wants to marry you, even if you had a longer putter.

So Donald you don't believe gays should marry, but it is OK for a man to screw around on his wife and divorce? Twice?

Same Sex marriage is "unattractive" "weird" and like a "long putter". Oh...and non-traditional. And we know that Trump is a traditionalist because only traditionalist have 3 marriages and two divorces.

He'll say anything to stay in the news. Obama cutting in to his show last night and the jokes about him over the weekend scares Trump in thinking other news stories will upstage him.

I thinks it's kinda fun to actually watch someone slide into irrelevancy in real time. It happens so rarely!

You know, I get it.

Donald Trump is kinda like golf, too! His carcass gets carted around from hole to hole, he uses a traditional short putter, and at the end, he's accomplished nothing and goes to the club to drink.

If anyone seriously believes the Donald, I have a bridge I would like to sell them

His hair alone disqualifies him from ever being taken seriously. If not for his money, he would be totally irrelevant.

Donald Trump, apparently, has a very short putter.

Now there's a relatable analogy. Boy, that explains everything.

Gives new meaning to gay club, though.

I'd just tell him not to use the putter.

Has it only been three marriages? I could have sworn he was at least up to five or six

Trump may be many things (megalomaniac, narcissist, tasteless, tacky, beyond homely, arrogant, loud, self-deluded, nasty all come to mind) but a "traditionalist" he is not.

That's the worst analogy since sliced bread.

The only Donald quackier is Duck.

Mr Duck takes umbrage at that remark.

This is such a great thread. Many laughs.

That free association thing really works for him!
