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.

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.
But I’m not fine with bakers being forced to bake a cake.
I also favor the NC law.
I just don’t see what the big deal is.
If a person is in a bathroom doing business, then fine. if a person is in a bathroom being lewd or committing crimes, then deal with ‘em.
Prayer time is coming, so the Cruzlims can face Texas and pray and give us a break from all the potty madness. At least for a little while.
We lose because we swallow the bait. If Charlotte decides they want specific transgender laws, let them have them. Why make it a state issue? Now they will be sued and lose. If it goes to the Supreme Court we all lose. Just like we did with abortion and gay marriage.
Trump is right...again.
Althouse has a son who is gay. LGBT rights is her number one issue above all others.
So yeah, she’s thrilled with Trump right now.
What is this, the 40th Bathroom thread today?
All the Cruzer Losers are out in force, grasping at straws.
The country has far more important things to talk about and think about than bathrooms and abortion.

You are correct, trumpie said more than once he is planning a path to citizenship, in the same interview/
Your first mistake is believing that abortion is legal, simply because some immoral court said so.
Sorry, courts don’t make laws under our Constitution.
This is what the supreme law of our land says on the subject:
“No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.”
“No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Equal protection: It’s not optional.
exactly I hope you do that.
Thanks for the information.
Nobody said anything about YOUR granddaughter!
How do you know who’s a pervert? Or if they’re carrying a concealed weapon? Or if they’re on parole? Or if they’re an illegal alien. When it comes to bathrooms you don’t know squat.
You clearly have more faith than I when it comes to Trump’s positions on values and social issues. I’ve been wary all along he was going to reveal himself ideologically more akin to all his scuzzy NYC-media and entertainment-industry pals, once he got the nomination wrapped up.
1. Yes.
2. Sometimes people have to relieve themselves, it’s a fact of nature. If they do it outside, they can be arrested.
3. There are no urinals in the ladies room. if I had young daughters, they would not be in the men’s room where urinals are commonly found.
4. Not in the men’s room, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person turn from the urinal before zipping up the junk, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone at the urinal naked.
5. I was born in Pensacola, lived from about 3/4 of my life in Metairie, Lousisana, and am now back in Florida. never been to Jersey, and you sound like you are unfamiliar with where various bathroom fixtures are located.
So your daughter, wife, niece or granddaughter should be exposed to full-grown men in the ladies’ room?
..........................................................
For your information LADIES ROOMS have STALLS. Nobody sees anything!
AND NEITHER IS TRUMP
Rush spent his whole show on it.
Many feel it is a key signpost on the ‘highway to h3ll’.
Kinda of like Kim Davis. So when do we ever get around to pick a hill to die on in the ‘culture wars’?
He also really hasn’t done anything on this restroom matter one way or the other while in senate office.
You don’t have daughters, do you?
“Gentle, now.... most Trump supporters are still in the shock and denial phase over him going hard-left with his transgender, tax-raising and abortion platform today on NBC. We need to be supportive as they snap out of their Trump Trance, one by one.”
It’s amazing how much the Trumpbots will justify every leftist position he takes, as if it’s not big deal and doesn’t change anything.
If this RINO is the nominee, soon we won’t be able to tell the difference between him and Hitlery.
Watch out for his own transgender, transpolitical transformation before our very eyes, as he becomes a chameleon for everybody in the general election.
And said he was raising taxes, too!
Without regard to a transgendered designation, as long as a person is not in a restroom committing some sort of a crime, I don’t see a problem with it.
If a man is in the men’s room purposely exposing himself purposely to others, he’s committing a crime.
If a woman is in the ladies room purposely exposing herself to others, that’s a crime.
People seem to be overreacting to this IMO.
