Pulse shooting survivor launches blistering attack on 'amateur fascist' Donald Trump – and he doesn't hold back

Queer activist and survivor of the Orlando Pulse shooting Brandon Wolf has debunked the "totally delusional" idea that Donald Trump is the "most pro-gay president in American history".

On Thursday, 20 August, the Log Cabin Republicans, the largest group of LGBT+ conservatives in the US, released a video claiming that Donald Trump was the "most pro-gay president in American history".
The video features  Richard Grenell , who was the  first of very few gay officials  in the Trump administration, and who departed from his role as  acting Director of National Intelligence  after a few months.

Trump retweeted the Log Cabin Republicans' video, and wrote: "My great honor!!!"

Grenell later appeared twice on Fox News to repeat his claim that Trump is an LGBT+ ally.

Speaking on MSNBC's  AM Joy on Sunday, August 23, Wolf explained exactly why Grenell's claim was "hot garbage" and "totally delusional".

He said: "We don't have to guess what kind of president Donald Trump is for LGBT+ Americans. We don't have to believe Richard Grenell on how Donald Trump will treat LGBT+ Americans.

"We already know because we've seen the policies in action."

The Pulse shooting survivor continued: "This is a president who fired thousands of transgender people who made the incredible sacrifice of serving in the US military.

"This is a president who kicked transgender people out of homeless shelters and argued that said same-sex couples should be barred from adopting children .

"This is a president who just two months ago, on the four-year remembrance of the shooting at Pulse nightclub, tried to rip non-discrimination protections away from LGBT+ folks going to see a doctor.

"Donald Trump has been at war with the LGBT+ community from the day he set foot in office."

Wolf added: "We have an amateur fascist in the White House who has LGBT+ folks squarely in his crosshairs, and our fight today is to wrestle the country back out of his greedy, corrupt hands on 3 November, because, quite frankly, there may be no democracy left once he's done with it."
