Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.
Althouse ^ | April 21, 2016 | Ann Althouse

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.

Cruz’s attack on Trump is dumb. What about little girls in the bathroom with a butch lez??

If a transgender man dressed as a woman used a woman’s bathroom who would know? He have to pee in the sink!

If a transgender woman dressed as a man used a men’s bathroom who would know? They couldn’t use the urinal.

So how would they be identified?

He wasn’t an “activist” he was a business owner. Do you people ever actually read the articles you cite?

Personally, I would give Bruce a complimentary gender reassignment surgery if I caught him in the bathroom with my granddaughter.

I'd only give him the first half of it; he would have to take care of the remainder himself.

meanwhile cruz takes money off a homosexual activist millionaire back in TX and some cruz voters ignore that.

So your daughter, wife, niece or granddaughter should be exposed to full-grown men in the ladies’ room?

Full grown MEN exposing themselves to women be it daughter, wife, niece or granddaughter, is already illegal.

After 4 years of a King Trumpy reign.... when the wall hasn’t even been started on, and he has already legalized the “good ones”.... the King Trumpy Worshipers here will still be worshiping him and will be convinced that it is someone else’s fault that their messiah hasn’t decreed what they want done.

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

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.

If Trump wants the NC dumped, and hence the Charlotte law re-instated, allowing anyone who ‘felt’ like it to go into the wrong bathrooms, locker-rooms, and showers, well then, there’s no way in hell Trump will get my vote.

Any damned pervert going into the ladies room needs nothing less than have his damned skull split open. And any blasted politicians that want to join in and side with the homo-freaks and their left-wing fascist enablers can go to hell.

you obviously don’t as you post way too much to read , except the headline and he still took money off a homosexual activist so why not look it up.

When you supported Romney did you have the same outrage, no you never , so stop disappointing the 2nd Div

The big problem here is that Trump supporters are unwilling and incapable of critiquing their preferred candidate. They cannot even allow anyone else to criticize him without that person becoming the enemy.

Instead, we conservatives realize ALL politicians must be criticized and held to account. We do not need a Republican version of the Obama worshipping cult.

I have criticisms for Cruz and Trump. Either are much better than the socialist and felon that the Democrats have competing for their nomination. But that does not mean I have to accept that our nominee cannot be questioned and challenged.

Make Trump EARN the nomination. Make him promise to support conservatism across the board. I can live with him not being ideologically conservative, as long as he pledges to govern conservatively and keeps his word. Is that too much to ask?

If he is not willing to commit to conservative principles, it is not too late to find someone who will.

Cruz supporters are the ones who set the definition for endorsement this year by claiming the KKK endorsed Trump

I'm sure if the 3000+ little children who are being slaughtered again today had a voice they would take issue with your priorities.

The way it was is that pervs could not hang out in bathrooms with little girls. Then the perverts, lead by a convicted pervert, had the law changed to accommodate their wishes. NC passed a law to fix that. And now Trump says NC was wrong. For me, NeverTrump.
