Trump made the remarks at the start of his joint news conference at the White House with Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel after her congratulating her on her re-election.

Were also pleased to have our newly confirmed United States Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, outstanding man, Trump said.

Grenell, whos nomination had been pending since September, was confirmed in the Senate on a 56-42 largely party-line vote Thursday. Sources have told the Blade Merkels scheduled visit to the White House was a factor in breaking the log jam on his confirmation.

Pointing to Grenell in the audience during the news conference, Trump told his new appointee, Congratulations. Do a great job, and I know you will. Thank you.

I don't think Trump is "pro-gay" but I don't think he's "anti-gay" either, if that makes sense.

He shouldve declined. They will now use him as a human shield for their homophobia, just like they use(d) Peter Thiel, Caitlyn Jenner, Omarosa, Ben Carson, etc. as shields.

You don't get to work with and support someone like Pence and his policies and not be "anti-gay"

Also while his administration and AG go hard on repealing rights and protections for LGBT citizens.

He's not pro-gay by any stretch. Worst case he's anti-gay, best case he's completely ambivalent (which is probably almost as bad)

I believe it is this one. People being gay has no effect on him and neither do any pro or anti gay measures, so he has no reason to care. He is pretty self centered.
