In this June 26, 2015, file photo, the White House in Washington, is lit up in rainbow colors in commemoration of the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage. Less than five months from Election Day, President Donald Trump is positioning himself as the spokesman for voters resisting a new wave of cultural change, ready to ride any backlash from the protests calling for racial equality and police reform and this week’s Supreme Court rulings extending protections to gay workers and young immigrants.
