It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Trump is a person who would rather not discuss social issues at all.
“if Caitlyn Jenner “
I ain’t worried about Bruce Jenner. I’m worried about Chester the Molester.
I think Trump’s answer should be “leave it to the States to decide” There are tons more pressing issues than this.
Single occupancy porta potties are the solution. {occupied} {open} That’s all you need to know.
After all . . . priorities. [/sarcasm]
Can anyone tell us what our Masters of the GOPe have done that is different than Trump’s take here?
Ah no they can’t.
Their policies are identical to this.
So all you folks with the vapors out there, take a deep breath.
It’s going to be okay.
I don’t agree with it.. The only alternative is to go back to the GOPe hat in hand, so they can continue ruling us, and screw us on everything else Trump supports that we want.
This is hard ball folks. Who knew?
I’ve talked to long-time blue collar dems that are completely horrified at the party’s position on this. I think maybe the leadership doesn’t realize not just everyone is down with this ridiculous crap being considered some sort of civil rights struggle. They buy the gay thing to a point, but this is a bridge too far for a lot of them, at least for this cycle. A smart republican would hammer on this, make it the biggest issue you can.
Trump is a smart and successful business man who chooses to participate in culture killing reality TV and pro-wrestling as himself because he digs that dog squeeze. It’s pretty inexplicable, at least to me.

Getting very hopeful for a decent 3rd party candidate.

OK...
I am among the last here to back Trump (as if I haven’t made that abundantly clear), but I’d like to have some additional context to this. Maybe I’m divining it incorrectly, but he sounds more like he was being dismissive to the whole matter and inferring it’s not the federal government’s role to take a position on it. What he allows in Trump Towers is his call, but this seems more like a state/local issue.
I do not support Donald Trump on every thing that he says, only to the extent that he is needed as President, to deal with what are Federal Issues.
The point should be obvious.
And so it begins....
Let me weigh in with this. Drag queens have been around for as long as I can remember and they’ve been going in whatever bathroom they feel like going in forever. No one even thought about it until liberals started their campaign to make everything gender neutral and make states change their laws to specifically say “transgenders”, ie, who were called drag queens not too long ago be a protected class of people. That’s why Trump said what he said. In the Far East where I spent around 10 years in the military it’s not uncommon for there to be one bathroom and you walk in it and you might see a female backing up to to a urinal and if not she’ll be in a stall with the door closed. She’ll leave the stall while you’re still at the urinal and not you give you a second thought and go about her business. The same thing happens all over Europe, especially in France. There has also been many perverts get the hell beat out of them trying to sneak in a woman’s bathroom, and that ain’t about to change. But the drag queens, these pitiful bastards that actually think their another sex, will go in a stall, do their business and leave. Liberals are the ones that have made this an issue.
I WAS going to vote for him just to spite my liberal neighbors who think it would be a disgrace to have him as president because he “disrespects” women......while they’ll vote for Hillary and her rapist husband.......but IMHO,Trump has just entered Kasich territory.
I wonder if he has thought of the Genesis quote:
“Male and female he created them.”
What I would have said:
“Did you ask a democrat this same question? No, of course not.
Personally, I don’t care which bathroom a person uses. What I resent is your trying to force me to make my opinions conform to what you feel is politically correct.
Just realize that you are subjecting women to ogling. Remember that you are making that happen. I know what you’re up to: you are trying to force us to reject the cultural conditioning that we received as children, and to accept your new, politically correct norm.
Next question.”
Much ado over yet another social issue that should be left up to the states to decide.
