The recent announcement of a global campaign to legalize homosexuality in every nation on Earth by the Trump admin has bewildered many. What isn’t so bewildering is the left’s response. No matter what, they will find fault in everything Trump does.
President Donald Trump was accused of racism in an op-ed in Out Magazine on Tuesday after the administration announced a campaign to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide, after which the publication got a heap of criticism itself.
The State Department told reporters that Richard Grenell, the U.S. ambassador to Germany, is holding a “strategy meeting” with activists from across Europe and that the initiative is reportedly going to take aim at Iran over its human rights abuses.
Grenell, who is openly gay, has been a vocal critic of Iran’s brutalization of the gay community and recently called out the “barbaric public execution” of a 31-year-old Iranian who was hanged for violating the country’s anti-gay laws.
A staff writer at the iconic LGBTQ magazine declared that the Trump administration’s effort to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide is an “old racist tactic.”
"Rather than actually being about helping queer people around the world, Trump's campaign looks more like another instance of the right using queer people as a pawn to amass power and enact its own agenda," writes @mathewrodriguez. https://t.co/xKAP5u6ZvC

#2 President Trump is reportedly transferring “highly sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia”.
The House Oversight committee now chaired by Democrat Elijah Cummings issued an interim staff report after several whistleblowers came forward “to warn about efforts inside the White House to rush the transfer of highly sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in potential violation of the Atomic Energy Act,” spearheaded by Jared Kushner, according to a press release by the House Oversight Committee.
The press release is in conjunction with the announcement of an investigation into the allegations.
The plan, which reportedly involved former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, Kushner and Trump fundraiser Thomas Barrack, would see the development of “dozens of nuclear power plants” in a “Middle East Marshall Plan” through IP3 – a private US company which has “assembled a consortium of US companies to build nuclear plants in Saudi Arabia.”
The whistleblowers allege that the efforts were made without review by Congress “as required by law,” and may be ongoing to this day.
“The whistleblowers who came forward have expressed significant concerns about the potential procedural and legal violations connected with rushing through a plan to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. They have warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes. They have also warned about a working environment inside the White House marked by chaos, dysfunction, and backbiting. And they have warned about political appointees ignoring directives from top ethics advisors at the White House who repeatedly and unsuccessfully ordered senior Trump Administration officials to halt their efforts.” -Interim Staff Report
According to the report, efforts to transfer the sensitive US nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia may be accelerating following White House meetings last week ahead of Jared Kushner’s planned visit to the Middle-Eastern country.
“The Committee’s investigation is particularly critical because the Administration’s efforts to transfer sensitive U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia appear to be ongoing. On February 12, 2019, the President met with nuclear power developers at the White House about sharing nuclear technology with countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia. In addition, next week Mr. Kushner will be embarking on a tour of Middle Eastern capitals—including Riyadh—to discuss the economic portion of the Administration’s Middle East peace plan.” -Interim Staff Report
The report notes that the White House has failed to submit a report on the murder of Washington Post columnist and political operative Jamal Khashoggi.
