Immoderate. That is one of the best ways to describe Trump’s opinion on LGBT topics. Although opinions are every changing, especially those of politicians, who work to appeal for the public, Trump and Pence remain immoderate. I think we shouldn't trust him because of his controversial behavior, choice in running mate, and Pence’s extreme quotes and statements.
It’s no secret that trump is on the wrong side of controversial topics. Surprisingly, there is an article stating that “(we should) give Donald Trump credit for one thing: bathrooms” (Cupp).
