Trump: LGBT Rights Ruling “A Very Powerful Decision”

Reuters reports:

President Donald Trump said on Monday he will live with the U.S. Supreme Court decision that a federal law barring workplace discrimination protects gay and transgender employees. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the ruling was a very powerful decision.

As you can see below, CBS is reporting that Trump says he read the ruling. Which very obviously wouldn’t have happened in a million years.
