Trump: Transgender people can use whatever bathroom they want

By NICK GASS 04/21/16 08:49 AM EDT

Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want, Donald Trump said Thursday.

"Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they're paying a big price. There's a lot of problems," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC's "Today."

Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now," Trump said he agreed.

"Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth.

"There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate," Trump said. "There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic -- I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking."

Matt Lauer then asked whether Trump has any transgender people working for his company.


"I really don't know. I probably do. I really don't know," Trump said, answering that he would allow, say, transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner to use whatever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower.

He added, "You know, there's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is for transgender, that would be—first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. That would be unbelievably expensive for businesses in the country. Leave it the way it is."

Trump's sudden emergence as a Trans rights advocate is a preview of how he will throw conservatism under the bus if nominated. Count on it.

Trumpsters will insist that Trump is just pivoting -- they know the REAL @realdonaldtrump, and he would never betray them.

Hey!  That's discrimination in it's rawest form.  Special privilege for trannies and not gays and straights?  Where are the equal rights people? *look*

And Trump thinks Harriett Tubman on the $20 bill is "political correctness."

Quote
I think Harriet Tubman is fantastic. I’d love to leave Andrew Jackson, and see if we can maybe come up with another denomination. Maybe the $2 bill or another bill. I don’t like seeing it. Yes, I think it’s pure political correctness. Been on the bill for many, many years. and really represented somebody that’s really was very important to this country. I would love to see another denomination, and that could take place, I think it would be more appropriate.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-calls-harriet-tubman-20-pure-political-correctness-suggests-separate-but-unequal-bill/

So replacing a slave holder with an abolitionist is "politically correct," but allowing biological men to use women's restrooms is cool.

This won't matter one bit to the Trumpkins.

Nobody asked Trump what Andrew Jackson did that was so great. 

No doubt he would have answered "Well, he did some things, and they were really great things, let me tell you."

Aside from the Battle of New Orleans, Jackson was a lousy President

Are we seriously going to make transgender bathrooms a bedrock Republican issue in a campaign for the one political office that can do nothing about it -- the POTUS?    Are not our hands already filled to the brim with abortion and same-sex marriage?    :shrug:

Trump's all for gender-neutral bathrooms but wants to throw women in jail for abortions.

Twist yourself in knots, RIV, explaining that one.

This won't be his only move left. Look for the move left to come rapid fire as he thinks he is running in the general election. Right from The Art of the Deal. Say whatever he needs to for the mark in front of him. He will now play to the middle and left.

Handing access to little girls to pedophiles, yes, that is something we can fight.

He also likes abortion laws as they are.

Trump also says he is open to raising taxes on anyone.

Before this campaign is done he's going to be moving so far left, we can just nickname him Donald "Rated X" Trump.

You don't present Trump's policies.  You present twisted fantasies.  I've no desire to engage you in those.

YOU cannot discuss Trump's policies. That's a fact. All you present over in your little play pen are generic bromides.....bullshit for the Trumpkins.

Trump has no idea who Harriet Tubman is, but he thinks she shouldn't replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.  Wanna guess why?
