Caitlyn Jenner Finally Sees The Light: Trump “Is By Far The Worst Administration Ever Towards The LGBT Community”.

Mark your calendars: Caitlyn Jenner has finally given up on Donald Trump.

In an interview with Los Angeles’ KABC-TV, the reality star called the Trump administration the “worst ever” for LGBT rights.

Two months later, Jenner told The View she was “working behind the scenes” with the White House on LGBT issues.
