Such a waste of an opportunity!

"If the public fully understood your reasons for supporting Donald Trump, they would be shocked and despise you."

"Your successful persecution of Gawker provided meaningful catharsis related to personal traumas around your sexual orientation."

"Given the chance, you would trade the lives of one hundred thousand poor people for the ability to live indefinitely."

"Donald Trump has the upper hand in your relationship."

Here's the text of Peter's speech at the national press club, explaining his reasons for supporting Trump.

(ps downvoted you for homophobic nonsense)

Is it homophobic? I assumed the personal trauma being referenced was the public outing by Gawker.

I am gay and the premise that criticizing Thiel for working out his issues by destroying a company is somehow homophobic is very problematic.

And anyway, I'm not confirming or denying. I want him to.

I apologize for misunderstanding you, but your words still look ugly to me.

If you really care so much about what Peter thinks, what exactly are you accusing him of with the first question? How are you so sure of his motivations? That seems offensive coming from anyone. Happy to discuss in email.
