-———Trump opposes restricting males from women’s restrooms ———
Trump was asked about North Carolina’s anti-LGBTQ law — specifically, its ban on transgender people using the bathroom in schools and government buildings that aligns with their gender identity. He came out in opposition to North Carolina’s law.
“North Carolina did something [that] was very strong, and they’re paying a big price, and there’s a lot of problems,” Trump said at a town hall with the Today show, referring to the “economic punishment” the state is seeing as a result of the law.
Trump then said that North Carolina shouldn’t have made changes restricting trans people’s bathroom use: “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.”
Asked whether he would let Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman, use the bathroom for her gender identity 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.”

Why wasn't DeSantis fighting this in Congress? I do not remember him saying anything at the time, or even when Trump made the statement we are discussing.
Everyone say things they regret later when they actually learn more about the topic. Trump is now on the right side of the issue, so I am satisfied.
In the meantime, DeSantis has remained silent on the issue of human trafficking. Being silent is even worse in my opinion thatn misspeaking.
I hadn’t seen that before. What a disappointment. Forcing businesses to adapt restrooms for the disabled was also expensive, but businesses did what they had to do to accommodate those who needed the safety bars and larger stalls. Why bring up cost when it comes to protecting women and young girls?
