I don’t agree with Trump on this. I do not believe we should grant special rights to people based on gender, race or sexual preference. Everybody should be treated the same.

It’s a Catch-22 for a Republican politician however. The leftist press would love to continue to paint Trump as an intolerant man. Right or wrong, I see this response taking a little wind out of those sails.

I don’t agree with Trump either. He needs to reflect on exactly how this came across.

I don’t think Trump is advocating for special rights formally. Sounds like he’s saying leave things the way they are, which is a bit lame. Sounds like he’s saying when a State makes explicit laws to forbid the restroom crossover, it could be considered discrimination. It very well could be. Who knows? However, it’s still up to each state to figure that out.

He should say it’s a state’s rights issue and each state can choose how they will. He has to respect the law whether he likes it or not.

I think the VAST majority don’t want men using women’s bathrooms.

I haven’t seen a poll at all on this

No its not.

Be consistent. Trump is not consistent on anything, so how can you believe him on anything?
