The Trump administration eliminated the State Department's position for a Special Envoy for the Human Rights of LGBTI Persons.
In 2018, the Trump administration denied visas to the unmarried same-sex partners of foreign diplomats, even if they were from countries that recognize only civil partnership or that ban same-sex marriage.
Richard Grenell, nominated by Trump as the U.S. ambassador to Germany, is openly gay. In February 2019, Grenell was announced as the leader of a new campaign to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide, and he hosted a meeting with 11 European activists. Trump seemed unaware of the initiative when he was asked about it the next day. Several months later, Trump tweeted that, "as we celebrate LGBT Pride Month," Americans should "stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute" people for their sexual orientation. However, that same week, the Trump administration instructed U.S. embassies not to fly the pride flag during Pride Month.

About one-third of Trump's judicial nominees have anti-LGBT records. The U.S. Senate has, as of May 2020, confirmed nearly 400 of Trump's nominees to their new roles. At least one of the confirmed judges, Patrick Bumatay, is openly gay.

Marijuana
See also: Cannabis policy of the Donald Trump administration
Marijuana and the rights of individual states to legalize recreational and medical marijuana was an issue of Trump's presidential campaign, and he formally stated during his campaign that he believed states should have the right to manage their own policies with regard to medical and recreational marijuana. Following his election, he reversed his position on recreational marijuana and stated he believed medical marijuana should be allowed but stated the Federal Government may seek legal resolutions for those states which regulate the growth and sale of recreational marijuana. However, in April 2018, he once again reversed himself, endorsing leaving the issue to the states; and in June 2018, Trump backed a bill introduced by Republican senator Cory Gardner of Colorado and Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts that would leave the decision to the states.

## Kamala Harris' political views
The political positions of [Kamala Harris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris "Kamala Harris") are reflected by her [United States Senate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate "United States Senate") voting record, public speeches, and interviews. Harris served as the junior senator from California from 2017 to 2021. On August 11, 2020, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee [Joe Biden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden "Joe Biden") [selected](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Democratic_Party_vice_presidential_candidate_selection "2020 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection") her as his running mate in the [2020 United States presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_U.S._presidential_election "2020 U.S. presidential election"), running against incumbent U.S. President [Donald Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump "Donald Trump") and Vice President [Mike Pence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence "Mike Pence"). With Biden's victory, Harris became vice president. She announced her candidacy in the [2024 United States presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election "2024 United States presidential election") after Biden chose not to run for reelection on July 21, 2024.
Harris's politics are widely seen as consistent with Biden's positions.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Kamala_Harris#cite_note-1) In 2020, _[The New York Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times "The New York Times")_ called her a [pragmatic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realpolitik "Realpolitik") moderate, with policy positions that broadly mirror Biden's. Left-wing activists have often criticized Harris for her actions as a prosecutor, which have been called "right-wing".
President [Joe Biden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden "Joe Biden") and former President [Barack Obama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama "Barack Obama") look on as Vice President Harris delivers remarks on the [Affordable Care Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act "Affordable Care Act"), April 2022.
