    Boycott them for not baking something they don't even offer in the first place? Interesting. Why?

    Can you post the names of all of the bakeries they went to, and get some confirmation that they didn't do this because they "hate Trump"? I didn't see any names listed in the OP. I also didn't see mention of "hating" Trump.

    And please be sure to post their websites so I can see all of the Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi cakes they offer to the general public which shows that they really did do this because they "hate Trump". Thanks.

    Depends on the cake and what's wanted. Even the new guy at the bakery can write "maga" on any cake and voila, you have a Trump cake.

    The best I could have done would have been an edible image(basically a edible printing of a picture, any picture actually)of Secretariat and Ron Turcotte. Most bakeries aren't as skilled as say cake boss or duff, and those that can do that stuff are incredibly expensive(for a cake anyways).

    An Obama cake would have gotten the same treatment, edible image or "hope and change".

    Sexual orientation is covered, I think marital status is also.

    This smells like bullshit to me. No mention of who these bakers are?

    Yep, I smell bullshit here.

    You're right, they could have simply written "MAGA" in red frosting and be done with it. But that's another problem - we have no idea what the parents of this child asked for. Was it an image of Trump? Was it just "MAGA"? Very little information here. And I still think the guy is trolling. He's trying to make a point, and it isn't a good one. He should stick to the right message of dragging people into an engagement of commerce against their will.

    We got around the Secretariat thing by getting a cake with a horse on it and I bought blue and white frosting and frosted in the colors of his silks under the saddle. My kid was young enough to fall for it (thank goodness!). We told him Turcotte fell off.

    It reeks of bull$hit. And the act of a troll. But people are falling for it, so I guess the trolling is working. Easily duped angry people do tend to fall for the trolling.

    I'm
    I'm responding to the OP and this quote "The Post reported that, when Dylan asked for a “Donald Trump cake” for his birthday, his mother “made him one herself, because she couldn’t find a bakery willing and able to do it.” If you are saying it never happened and crying fake news that's fine and tells me that if it did happen you to would find that behavior repulsive and as a leftist you'd be embarrassed so I guess we kind of agree.

    Yeah there's not much to go on, never is in any of these stories from both sides. Only later does some of it become learned.

    There you go. My son love him some Cars 3 and he wants a Chester Whipplefilter cake. Well since he's covered in mud, we are just getting a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and putting Chester right up on top and now we're cooking with fire.

    So in other words, there's nothing in the OP that the bakeries refused to do it out of hate for Trump.

    I'm not a leftist. I also don't make things up that were never said. There's no mention in the OP of leftist hatred. That's a figment of your imagination. You were trolled, and you fell for it.

    With that post you made me crave chocolate cake!

    Love the idea. Something covered in mud is a hell of a lot easier than this!

    So why IYO would a bakery refuse to bake a cake with a pro Trump icing? Too hard to spell?

    Much like my stance with Gay Wedding cakes, They should go elsewhere for their cake and take their dollars with them. The conservative side of the aisle has more buying power and actually does use it in times like these.

    Chik-Fil-A, Target's Transgender ban.

    Get the cake elsewhere and make it known to those you know, and let them decide if they want to give that bakery their dollars IMO.

    Shame that some would object to a cake with regards to a sitting President, but what can you do.

    Yeah, some of them are dumb enough to fall for it. The others know it's bullshit, but seeing as how it fits into their agenda, they are willing to hold their noses and go along with it anyway.

    What did she ask for? The article doesn't say. What would be the extent of the decorating? The article didn't say. What are the names of the bakeries so we can see what Democratic politicians cakes they make? The article didn't say. How many of them did she go to? The article doesn't say. Why did they "refuse" to bake this "Donald Trump" cake? The article doesn't say.

    Don't be so quick to allow yourself to be trolled. This man in the OP is a troll.

    Even the trolling OP says the mother said she couldn't find a bakery "willing and able" to do it.

    Do people even read this trolling crap before getting all jacked up?

    You are really being absurd in your pathetic attempt to grasp a straw here but it's apparent that we agree on one thing, if they refused to bake a pro Trump cake for a little kid you are as repulsed as I am and that's why you are going to these lengths to deny it happened.

    It's pretty simple, you are discriminating against the gays by not allowing them to enter into marriage, but allowing other non-gays to marry.

    Simple solution is go to another baker. Hell fire most grocery stores have a decent cake making ability.

    Love threads like these that make our resident sore liberals show their complete and utter hypocrisy. And they aren't shy about it at all and the best part is they seriously do not see themselves as hypocrites. It's ****ing hilarious. Pathetic. But hilarious none the less.

    So you believe certain people should have (or deserve) more rights then others?
