Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want, Donald Trump said Thursday.
"Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they're paying a big price. There's a lot of problems," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC's "Today."
Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now," Trump said he agreed.
"Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth.
"There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate," Trump said. "There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic -- I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking."
Matt Lauer then asked whether Trump has any transgender people working for his company.
"I really don't know. I probably do. I really don't know," Trump said, answering that he would allow, say, transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner to use whatever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower.

No it’s worse than that it is cult of personality. I listened to Trump yesterday here in Indiana all he did was continue ti circle around to the same old clichés he has been spouting since September. Going to build a wall, yeah; going to impose tariffs, yeah; going to make America great again, yeah; the systems rigged, yeah. I’m going to kill all puppies, yeah. No he didn’t say the last one, but if he had the Trumpkins on here would be telling us how we have too many puppies and they need be killed. It doesn’t matter what he says the fact that he says it makes it right, end of story. There is nothing rational or logical about Trump supporters they function on a purely emotional level, no thinking required.
1500 Syrians, Somalis and Sudanese muslims were settled in smalltown, USA
50 ISIS terrorists crossed our sieve-like border into the us
3 Naval battle ships were decommissioned due to age
1000 Mexicans walked past the Border Guard into the USA
Cruz was making more plans for the North American Union.
The Federal Government spent 350 million dollars.
15,000 jobs were moved to Mexico and China
15,000 Americans were fired and replaced by Indians
4 vets waiting for care at the VA died
I could go on...
“”Thats not what Trump supports. Trump supports letting men use womens restrooms. He says to not so so is discriminatory.””
I don’t believe that’s what he said. He said, “leave it as it is” (which is women go to the ladies room and men go to the men’s room) - SEVERAL TIMES!
That’s very funny and you are very creative. What a great imagination you have!
Not really.
He did talk out of both sides of his mouth, but that’s not what he said.
Awwaaaahh...
LOL
You're on the Trump team now, and against the Matt "Liar" Lauers of the Media world.
Act like it.
They don't care about economic issues, either. If they did, they'd be outraged that Trump just said he is open to raising taxes, bashed Scott Walker from the left for NOT raising taxes in Wisconsin, said he supported universal health care, etc., etc.
Trump supporters care about ONE thing:
1) Their messiah promised them he would build a YUUUUUUUUUUUGE wall and make Mexico pay for it.
They believe that illogical fantasy will occur.
Sorry, I am not a liberal.
I thought Trump ate the media for breakfast, and was not P.C. Now you claim it’s good that he’s another Romney or McConnell.
Keep posting snark on Trump, #NeverTrumper.
Now now Bill, it’s not our place to question his Grace, “The” Donald and his devoted followers. God save the King.
You seem to think I was being sarcastic. No no. ALL HAIL HIS MAJESTY THE KING. DONALD OF HOUSE TRUMP. THE FIRST OF HIS NAME. LONG MAY HE REIGN.
If sick freaks urinating with little girls is ok with him then it’s ok with me!!! What do I know? I never opened a casino.
You don’t know what snark means.

“This is a consistent position, since Trump let a transsexual in his beauty pageant 4 years ago.”
I guess I should never be surprised with anything Trump has done to make money.
tick-tock, #Never. :)
I guess that means that you're both supporting Trump as the presumptive nominee, as per the board owner's wishes.
You both ARE going to support Trump in the general election, and in the runup to the Republican convention, aren't you? JediJones? jeffersondem?
You ARE supporting Trump for the Republican nomination, and in the general election, aren't you, Impy?
