Trump: Transgenders Should 'Use the Bathroom That They Feel Is Appropriate'
CNS News ^ | April 21, 2016 | Susan Jones

Republican Donald Trump says he'd be fine with Caitlyn Jenner using the bathroom of her choice at Trump Tower. (AP File Photo)

(CNSNews.com) - Republican Donald Trump, appearing on Thursday's "Today" show, said transgenders should be allowed to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate."

"So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?" host Matt Lauer asked Trump.

"That is correct," Trump said.

Asked for his view on the North Carolina bathroom controversy, Trump said the state has "paid a big price" for requiring transgenders to use the restroom that corresponds with their biological sex.

"Leave it the way it is," he said.

"One of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday, saying 'Leave it the way it is right now.' There have been very few problems. Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all of the business that's leaving and all of the strife, and that's on both sides -- you leave it the way it is.

"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. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife, and the -- the economic punishment that they're taking."

AD FEEDBACK

Trump said he doesn't know if he has any transgender people working for him. "I probably do, I really don't know."

Trump noted that there's a "big move to create new bathrooms" for transgenders.

"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."

“I don’t want Sharia policing.”

Sharia is okay with you?

Seriously? That is what you took from that sentence?

And I like how you’ve kept your head on your shoulders about this.

That's JimRob. A light hand on the tiller. At first, I didn't like it at all. Then, I started seeing the wisdom in it. Now, I depend on it as a constant in the FReeperverse.

I do. There is collusion between the media and with establishment types (both parties).

Somewhat both parties, but the vast majority of influence comes from the Democrat party. Have you ever seen the list of connections between Media people and Democrat party officials?

Virtually everyone is either direct blood related, or related through marriage. The Democrat Party/Media-Industrial complex is virtually the same family.

We are fools for not having taken a sledgehammer to these media corporations years ago.

So I’ve reflected and I do beg your pardon. You’re still one of the most thoughtful posters here, even when I don’t completely agree with something. :-)

Don't kid yourself. The establishment is not based on political ideology. They are entrenched K Streeters.

I do not doubt that that is a large part of what motivates them, but it is not the only part.

Yes, we can see that some of the wealthiest parts of the nation are in that power corridor between Washington D.C. and New York. Where does that wealth come from? Mostly Federal government.

I kind of find on foreign policy they establishment all shares the same ideology and uses the newspapers to push it. On social issues it is more liberal.

I think in reality the GOPe wing of the uniparty is just as liberal as the Dems but they use the social conservatives the way the Dems use the black vote. What has all these years of supporting Dems gotten blacks really? And what have all these years of supporting Repubs gotten the pro life movement?

A few months ago I came to the realization abortion has been legal longer than I was alive. It predates my birth! GOP has done what?

A very apt analogy. Yes, that's what i've been coming to realize as well. That business of running those Racist attack ads against Chris McDaniel in Mississippi really opened my eyes to just how much the establishment hates actual conservatives.

They never really seem very determined to do anything about anything other than making sure government programs which fund their financial donors and allies keep getting funded.

Women need to start invading men’s rooms to protect their small sons from potential child sex predators. Children need help with the bathroom until they can fully take care of themselves. But a 6-10 year old has to use the men’s room and there are some really bad characters in them. Your son may not be safe, no more than your daughters would be. XY CHROMOSOME IS STILL A MALE, XX IS STILL A FEMALE. It’s a CHROMOSOME issue not a person’s mixed up belief.

My then teen HS age son would not use the RR in school ‘92-95, to much bad stuff going on even when he was that age that got swept under the rug. He’s now 33.
