This is an ironic statement for a celebrity to make.

Why? Trump is the only celebrity he wants.

Perhaps, but he's made a fortune off other celebrities.

So? They benefited from Trump too. Trump doesn't have to want them.

I have trouble with your choice of words, specifically "want" in this instance. Since the nay-saying celebrities keep the attention focused on Trump, who appears to grave the limelight, they are actually doing him a favor. Trump is smart enough to know this. Do you agree?

President-elect @realDonaldTrump: "I don’t want the celebrities and I want the people."

Wow, talk about a basket of deplorables.

Florida man charged with threatening to kill President-elect Trump at his inauguration on Twitter was a close family friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton

Dominic Puopolo, 51, is being held without bail on charges of threatening harm against a public servant
Hillary Clinton was especially close to Puopolo's sister Sonia and mother, also named Sonia
Puopolo once gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee

Quote

The threat suspect, according to federal elections records, gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 1996. He also contributed to Kerry and deceased Sen. Ted Kennedy in the mid-1990s. His name popped up again in contributions in 2006 when he gave $4,000 to Florida Sen. Bill Nelson's campaign.

His sister Sonia gave $4,000 to Hillary Clinton's various campaigns.

In Miami, meanwhile, Dom Puopolo was arrested four times for petty crimes since 2006, twice for petty theft and once for defrauding an innkeeper.

-Not my smart phone, which I paid for. I could easily get a job, but what's the point? My retirement income is more than enough to keep me living in style for the rest of my life.

This seemed like a reasonable post until I noticed I was the work of the Dailymail. Their idea of what constitutes a friend is decidedly different that what most of us think it is.

The article had several pictures of the family (primarily his mother and sister) with Hillary and Bill Clinton and also this picture from his mother's funeral:

Also Hillary delivered a eulogy at that funeral:

The Daily Mail is a sensationalist rag indeed. However, it is accurate that Dominic Puopolo Jr was arrested for the threats he made against Trump and it is also reported that he once gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

I'm Hispanic, and I approve this message.

Is it true though, or is it just more CNN/ABC/NBC fake news?

I thought Trump said he loved the gays?

The Spanish thing doesn't really bother me that much. Hispanics here speak English, they just want to pretend that they don't.

What does the White House have to do with gays?

Not sure, but Trump said, "As your president I will do everything in my power to protect LGBTQ citizens,”

Primemuscle · « **Reply #623 on:** January 24, 2017, 12:41:39 PM »

Incoming administrations routinely revise the White House web page to reflect their views. The fake news media is making too much of this. What is or isn't on the White House page does change the policies.

Skeletor · « **Reply #624 on:** January 24, 2017, 01:01:00 PM »

Aside from Spanish, in what other languages was the White House webpage available before?
