In some ways, they are a typical political power couple seeking to “Make America Great Again.”
They are throwing a $5 million fund-raiser for President Trump this winter, and are quick to make it known that they have the president’s sons’ cellphone numbers on speed dial. They have poured more than $50,000 of their own money into supporting the president, who smiles in photos on the bookshelves of their home.
But Bill White and his husband, Bryan Eure, are not red state evangelicals or die-hard right-wingers. In fact, for years, they were key players among a cohort that Mr. Trump loathes: Manhattan’s liberal elite.(snip)
“He’s not a politician,” Mr. White, 51, said when asked to explain why he favors Mr. Trump. “He’s not going to configure himself as anything other than what he is. I think that he has an authenticity.”(snip)
The two men were not only longtime backers of left-wing causes, but firm supporters of Hillary Clinton who put their clout and cash behind her two White House bids. President Barack Obama was the guest of honor at a $39,500-a-plate truffle risotto fund-raiser dinner they hosted once in their Chelsea townhouse.(snip)
The couple say they have been condemned not just for hypocrisy, but for what has been seen as a betrayal of their own community, by backing a man who has scaled back L.G.B.T. protections.
They dismiss such concerns. “I don’t like identity politics,” Mr. Eure said.
As they have risen in the Trump pantheon to attending cocktail parties with Trump acolytes, they’ve lost friends, the couple said, from liberal politicians they once lavished with campaign contributions to a former employee of Mr. White’s who sent excoriating Twitter messages.
Their former allies offer a succinct view on who Mr. Eure and Mr. White are now: craven turncoats.

Yeah, I had the same thought.
They probably just want to get in Trump’s pants.
The photo at the link is cringe-worthy too.
For your interest.
Why are you all so rude. This couple is heroic for standing up for Trump in New York. They should be supported by us, not made fun of and excoriated. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.
Pray for revival.
They’re going to be sorry that their names were published. Liberals know how to play the intimidation game; death threats, scurrilous accusations, etc...
Good for them— thinking for themselves, not being sheep.
bkmk
God bless and protect them. Imagine if all the closet Trump supporters went public. Leftist and Establishment heads would explode!
Don’t be silly. Bill and Hill aren’t liberals. They’re Clintons.
It seems like there is an increase in members of various minorities realizing that their humanity may be more important in determining their political support than any particular characteristic. That could represent a very healthy change in our culture.
The shill at the Slimes does everything but dox these rich old queens.
Agree
So Bill is the "wife?" Just damn.
I think these guys are not jumping on the enemy of my enemy is my friend bandwagon. Not when the power couple is a couple of homos. No siree, they are not on that bandwagon.
Bill and Bryan, eh?
how sweet......
snicker snicker snicker...
