Donald Trump argues he's better on LGBT rights than Hillary Clinton. Clinton responds with one word.
3:37 a.m. ET
...............

At a rally in Dallas on Thursday evening, Donald Trump told a crowd of supporters that he will be a better champion for women and LGBT people than Democrat Hillary Clinton — which, for a Republican presidential nominee speaking in Texas, is noteworthy in itself. "LGBT is starting to like Donald Trump very much lately, I will tell you, starting to like Donald Trump very, very much lately," he said. He brought up the donations Saudi Arabia made to the Clinton Foundation to make his case that he's better for the LGBT community than Clinton. "They kill gays in these countries," he said. "So you tell me, who's better for the gay community and who's better for women than Donald Trump?"

US Republican candidate Donald Trump was in Dallas overnight, celebrating the one-year anniversary of his entry into the presidential race.

Trump used the opportunity to reaffirm his recent show of support for the LGBT community following the Orlando massacre, and claimed his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, accepts donations from Middle East countries that oppress LGBT citizens and women.

The "LGBT community is starting to like Donald Trump very, very much lately," he said, referring to himself in third-person.

"As far as gays are concerned they throw them off buildings. They kill gays in these countries. So you tell me who's better for the gay community or for women than Donald Trump."
CNN correspondent Phil Mattingly was covering Trump and reported his comments on Twitter:

Trump: "You tell me: who is better for the gay community and who is better for women than Donald Trump."

Clinton's comeback was brief, but pointed:

1. Truth!

[sufrommich]

2. I don't get it. Her answer was "hi" ?

[OKNancy]

3. trump wrote

"So you tell me who's better for the gay community or for women than Donald Trump."

her staff wrote - "hi" - meaning hey you, over here... me.

[NBachers]

10. Even after reading your explanation, I'm still incapable of understanding this.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. "Who's better than Trump?" Trump asked. Hillary said "Hi" = "Me".

Trump is talking about himself in the third person more and more. It's another absurdity of a truly absurd campaign he is running.

[riversedge]

29. I loved the 'Hi'!!

[Spider Jerusalem]

23. This should clear things up

[L. Coyote]

4. Here is the link:

5. HRC needs to stay the hell off Twitter

You don't engage the enemy on their preferred battlefield.

[Laser102]

6. Actually, that's exactly where you engage the enemy. It's called taking it to him.

Twitter was tRumps playground and self promotion arena. Hillary engaging him is showing what an incredible idiot he is.

[Kelvin Mace]

18. Then,

please proceed...

[LoverOfLiberty]

7. Thanks for your concern

since you are clearly anti-Hillary one might be suspicious of your motives.

[Iggo]

8. I was soooooo looking forward to the 16th.

Come ooooonnnnnn 20th!!!

[Kelvin Mace]

16. So, John Oliver is now "anti-Hillary"?

Fine, by all means, let HRC engage in a pissing fight with a skunk with an open sewer.

[Craig234]

20. Get back to me

When Hillary starts insulting trump's penis size and his mother on twitter.

This was not anything about a pissing fight or sewer, it was a reasonable response.

[Kelvin Mace]

24. As I said before,

please proceed...

[trumad]

27. Love Oliverand I love you Kevin..

But I respectfully disagree.

[Kelvin Mace]

28. That's cool

[.99center]

11. Watch's as another liberal gets thrown under the bus

I guess posting links to John Oliver is no longer acceptable

[Craig234]

21. Of course it is

I see some good progressives thrown under the bus, but not here for posting John Oliver.

If you mean the comment about being against Hillary, that's another topic it'd seem.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. HRC doing well on Twitter so far, it seems. Even if Trump likes it, he's stupid about Twitter.

He retweets garbage.

Hillary's team seems to have a handle on powerful ultra-short tweets, out-twittering even the 140 character limitation.

"Delete your account"

"Hi"

And she has Warren to hammer tRump when heavy twittering is required.

[Kelvin Mace]

14. I would disagree with you about Trump being "stupid about Twitter"

Twitter is a mob, and Trump does quite well with a mob. John Oliver nailed it when he called Trump "Twitter's Id personified".

Debating complex issues on Twitter is like trying to debate them with bumper stickers: reductio ad absurdum

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. That's why HRC does 3 and 1 word tweets ("Debating complex issues on Twitter ...") . . nt

[Kelvin Mace]

17. And as Oliver pointed out

she sets herself up to walk right into a wall.

[Craig234]

22. I think trump did that

That was a terrible rhetorical question for him.

[joshcryer]

25. You're trying too hard.

[trumad]

26. Wrong.

That was a total burn.

[dhill926]

9. his speech patterns remind me of the way...

they spoofed George Steinbrenner on Seinfeld....

[eastwestdem]

19. Nice! nt
