MAGA on Whether a Woman Can Be President Fill in the blank for me. Two men getting married is blank. Disgusting. Actually, the answer is legal in the United States. It's legal. But I don't like it. It's important to believe in to have respect for everyone's religion. So you respect Christianity? I do. Judaism? Islam? No. Can a woman be president? The presidency is a man's job. I have women are qualified to be president. No, a female has more hormones. She could start a war in 10 seconds if she has hot flashes, whatever. Boom. Haven't all wars been started by men? Yes. Do you think a gay couple should have the same rights as a- No, I don't think it's fair. To the gay couple? Well, no, but the regular couple, they work so hard. And the gay couple, they want more.
