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.

We Trump supporters have that rare thing called Common Sense!

Maybe Lyin Ted has an issue here, and now maybe he can take the nomination by focusing on...... BATHROOMS!

You know, I am so sick of Trump supporters like you trashing Christianity that I am almost ready to just stay home on election day. A pox, a curse on this damned country, a well-deserved one.

I’ve been in a woman’s restroom before. For instance, I was the janitor in a factory that employed mostly females shortly after I left the service. Most of the space in any restroom is not taken up by stalls or urinals.

Did Trump reach 1,237 delegates while I was napping?

So if your daughter or granddaughter is molested by a pedophile dressed as a woman in the bathroom...

You don’t care...?

I think they should mandate a few express bathrooms. #1 to the left, #2 to the right.

At this point it doesn’t matter who we elect to be President, it’s going to take Jesus, Himself, to straighten this country out.

We don’t need a signpost to hell.

America-2016 has already arrived there. And people advocating for perverts in ladies rooms is a pretty clear example.

The president is so important because he appoints the judges that make the laws.....

Very important for the president to have true discernment while appointing judges...

So you don’t think child molesters won’t take advantage of liberal laws to allow them to ply their evil sick trade ?

Well we have to start fixing the problems from somewhere.

And hopefully before the republic falls.

I think child molesters already do whatever they can to get next to their chosen prey.

If they want to molest little girls, I really don’t think a sign on the door is going to stop them.

Do you?

I forgot the thread, but some article had pointed out a reasonable problem with men’s and women’s restrooms.

Simply put, if somebody needs assistance with using a restroom, small children or someone in a wheelchair as examples, and the caregiver is of the opposite sex, then men’s and women’s restrooms become obstacles.

That said, I don’t see any quick, practical remedies to the situation.
