DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"

So in your opinion, the only interpretation as to why this is funny is because gay man bad?

Not the OVERWHELMING, BLINDING, BURNING hypocrisy of the situation? That doesn't factor into it?

If that's the only explanation you can come up with, maybe you have some homophobia yourself.
