Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.

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.

1) They should add a new pictogram to the disabled folks/family washroom. They should add some sort of “Shim” symbol.
2) Rolling Stone, and other media, bombarded us with alarming stories of the rape culture on college campus’s. Some demented female walked around with a mattress on her back. NOW, we allow men in women’s washroom???? This is maddening and FUBAR!
2) Women, if you are not comfortable with a man in the womens washroom, a solid slap across the mans face just might knock some sense into the demented fool. The vast majority of normal men will “help out” if needed.

I swear this issue is pretty plain, right? Some men who think they are women still dig women. Should women who are uncomfortable with this have to deal with them in women’s bathrooms? In Trump Towers, they do I guess. It’s Trump’s building.

All you need is one young child molestation or rape in a women’s room and all hell is going to break loose, and deservedly so.

The Left is f*cking insane and should be institutionalized as a threat to sane people. Unfortunately it has been institutionalized in the White House, Congress, the courts, the schools and the media.

Someone declare a state of emergency throughout the country to stop this lunacy.

Unfortunately it is no longer Donald Trump.

So neither are the presumptive nominee? Then what’s the argument?

No argument...Trump kicked Cruz’s butt day before yesterday...He won more delegates in ONE primary than Cruz “won” in his last three so-called caucuses....
