Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.
Althouse ^ | April 21, 2016 | Ann Althouse

I like the way he focused on the role of law. North Carolina enacted a law, and now "they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems." Law wasn't needed, because: "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble." There was already a social adjustment that accommodated people who needed to be accommodated.

Asked whether he would let Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman, use the bathroom of her choice at Trump Tower, he said he would. He added, "There's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is … first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is."

He was clear, practical, and sensible. He didn't go into impugning anyone on either side but saw it in terms of economics and law — and by law, I mean the limits of law, where it should end and where social etiquette works.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Scroll to 8:24 for the relevant part.

ADDED: Trump seems to be letting his roots grow out. Can we expect to see him with a fully white head of hair by the time the election rolls around? The location of the white part now gives some clues as to the directionality of the combover. I hope he gets a haircut soon, leaving the whole crazy swirl shorter and removing all that's left of the orangosity.

“4. Did he break a law by not zipping his junk up before he turned from the urinal?”

Urinal? There is no urinal. There generally are no urinals in the little girls’ room.

But “which” law? The Charlotte law? The NC law? He’s clearly talking down the NC law, like he disagrees with it. His implication is that he is defaulting to “pre-NC law” reality. Yes, it’s admittedly pretty incoherent, like so much of what he says. But he surely wasn’t “praising” the NC law.

Abortion became legal in 1973, at which time Nixon was in office, then there was Ford, then there was Reagan for 8 years, Bush1 for 4 years, Bush2 for 8 years. That’s a total of 23 years of republican presidents, why haven’t they done anything about it?

The 3rd World Invasion is far more important at this time than either bathrooms or abortion.

What did Cruz do to accommodate said homosexual? Trump just gave a moral victory to the “transgenders.”

Another problem that I see is a clear violation of a private business’s rights as the property owner to decide how their property is to be used and by whom.

Chip, chip, chip is the sound of the left working to take away our rights. Pretty soon, you will be required as a home owner to allow any perv into your home so they can use your bathrooms and do whatever in it, leaving you to clean up the mess.

"So ignore them and move on..Now wasn’t that easy?

Hey little girl, ignore the hairy man in the dress -- who thinks he is a woman, but who now for the moment thinks he is a lesbian -- who is on top of you; he will go away.

While you were posting this:

1500 Syrians, Somalis and Sudanese muslims were settled in smalltown, USA

50 ISIS terrorists crossed our sieve-like border into the us

3 Naval battle ships were decommissioned due to age

1000 Mexicans walked past the Border Guard into the USA

Cruz was making more plans for the North American Union.

The Federal Government spent 350 million dollars.

15,000 jobs were moved to Mexico and China

15,000 Americans were fired and replaced by Indians

4 vets waiting for care at the VA died

I could go on...

None of your business, but you can always go back 4 years on my posts if you like seeing as you spend your time on here, but I am not the one posting articles 18 hours a day.

“Bathrooms” ...are not what will... MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

We can't protect little girls in the womb; and now you're relishing the reality that we don't even want to pretend that we can't protect little girls in a Target restroom.

I saw somebody say that Marriott giving intentional access to the EXTERIOR door of a hotel room was worth $55 million (Erin Andrews); yet Target & Trump advocating giving intentional access to men around the bathroom stalls of girls & women is a leftist's redefinition dream!

My surgery tool would be a fast 230 grain lead cylinder with claws on the front. It is quick and would cause a groin incision to cause a rapid bleed out.

This whole issue is a deflection away from the fact that Trumps has kicked Cruz’s ass into the ocean...
