DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"

this article explains it well: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5082/the-dangerous-stereotype-of-the-self-hating-homophobe

Been seeing this line lately. I do think it’s a Russian internet research agency approved line for sure. I called Putin and Trump gay for each other and a bunch of hexbear accounts called it homophobic in unison.

some comments were too well coordinated to be individual users, it did sound like troll farm material.

The fediverse was bound to attract the attention to troll factories. That's why its devs need to consider making it more resilient, but unfortunately I get more of an impression they just want a second reddit.
