Trump clarifies Transgender remarks on Hannity
April 21, 2016

Posted on 04/21/2016 7:42:35 PM PDT by NKP_Vet

The link is not up yet, but a few minutes ago Trump was interviewed by Sean Hannity who asked him to clarify his remarks about the NC transgender law. Trump basically said NC is feeling the pinch of a boycott and that's too bad. Hannity asked him how he thought the issue should be settled. Trump said it was a local issue and the Federal courts should never get involved. That's all he said about it. Hannity didn't ask him did he personally think drag queens should be allowed in whatever bathroom they want to use. But I did hear a spokesman for Trump say today in the Matt Lauer interview he was referring to someone who has went to court and had their sex changed on legal documents, as in after they have a sex change. I would suspect Trump will clarify what he meant in the NBC interview in a statement. When the Hannity interview is available I'll post it.

The best solution is for a cross-dresser, also called Autogynephilia, to get psychological counseling.

You think your hero Trump would ever say something like that?

Of course he can, but that’s not what he said.

This is a dumb issue. The real issue is STOP LIBS FROM ALLOWING ALL MALES IN WOMEN’S RESTROOMS. Transgender people aren’t going to hurt anyone. They just have to pee.

Still spinning that Cruzer crap.

Shame on you for the ongoing lies you spew.

And for what? A losing lying fraud of a candidate?

Cruzers have become the turd in the punch bowl.

Trump is going to win the nomination. I have no illusions about that anymore.

I’m just pointing out that the Conservatives here have bought a pig in a poke. Trump’s liberalism is coming out fast and hard right now. Change the abortion plank. Raise taxes on the “wealthy”. Let people piss in the bathroom of their choice. This is just the beginning.

If criticism of Trump pisses you off so much, then maybe you should find another forum where criticism of Trump is not allowed.

It’s like Target and guns. I wasn’t going there anyway, especially now that they welcome trannies.
But I asked my wife. She doesn’t care to go either but says, “We’ve got stalls anyway.” I’m wheeling her around in a wheelchair, right outside the door, armed, and she’s apparently less afraid than some here.
So it won’t be like a Dick Butkis-sized man wearing a wig, confused about his gender will enter the ladies room and unlimber his johnson in the middle of the room.
If he does, in a normal establishment, he will either be arrested for indecent exposure or asked to leave ... like people with CCPs like myself who wander carrying into a store like Target that isn’t posted.
Libertarians, a large voting bloc often call themselves conservatives, especially on gun issues. For them and others Trump just cut the legs off the ‘rats on this issue with: “It’s their business. It’s their call. Don’t shop there if you don’t like it.” SEE: JC Pennys.

Or he could have pandered, been as thickheaded as a career govt. stooge desperately seeking an issue and started talking mandates/edicts: EOs he would issue.
But it’s Trump. He’s got more pressing things to address than playing nanny to private business and their odd customers.

He said in one statement he was against what NC did and then in a later statement said it was a States issue.

No contradiction.

He never said NC didn't have a right to make the law they did, that would be a contradiction.

“As long as they’re not harming anyone, not harming children, and are dressed as male or female according to the bathroom where they are going, they have the same rights as everybody else,” said Debbie Dellera, 65, a Republican and Donald Trump supporter from central New Jersey who participated in the poll.”

Debbie is obviously a clueless idiot (as is Trump). That is not what the left is pushing. Anybody regardless of how they are dressed can use not only whatever toilet they want but also showers and dressing rooms.

Not ready for prime time in the way he is handling this. When he said earlier in the day that NC should leave things the way they are he didn't seem to realize that the status quo in NC is contrary to allowing people to use the gender classification they prefer. And it is not likely to be a states rights issue, just as access to public accommodations in the 1960's was part of the civil rights decisions in the federal courts, and just as equal protection as a federal constitutional right was used to support gay marriage and strike state laws and state constitutional provisions defining marriage as a heterosexual matter. He needs to get up to speed before opening his mouth.

I have no illusions about Trump as you want to believe.

But it’s you who bought the pig in the poke, not us. You’re the ones who overlooked the clear signs that he wasn’t anything you thought he was.

And you lie, mischacterize his positions, lie about what he said, and for what? To push a lying fraud on us?

Good grief man, you’re actively aiding and abetting the totalitarian left with every post and you don’t care.

Shame on you.

AT this point I am not pushing Cruz. He can’t win. I’m just letting people know that Trump is not going to be the Savior of the Republic.

If you can’t handle that, then I can’t help you.

Trump is and always has been a slick Salesman and a New York Liberal.

Vote for him. I could care less. But I’m just letting people know that he is not going to save the Republic. He is going to rule as a liberal democrat. Just watch.

It's a common-sense stand against the encroaching insanity of men in this country demanding the “right” to go to the bathroom with little girls.

No responsible parents send their “little girls” into public restrooms alone. Neither my wife or I has ever noticed a “transgender person” in a public restroom. This is a feel good law addressing a non-issue that is nothing more than political grandstanding.

Unlike your hero, I never sent a penny to the campaigns of people like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton or sent money to defeat Tea Party Candidates who were challenging GOP elites.

Money talks. And Trump has talked a lot with his.

I don’t know that he’s the savior of the Republic, but I do know that lying about what he says as you do isn’t helping in the slightest.

It just helps divide, and furthers the grip of the totalitarian left.

You’re helping the very forces you claim to be against.

And you have no idea what he will try to do, but you love lying about it.

Shame on you.

“Except for every Christian voter that watched the Today show this morning.”

Yes, well they need to get in their Bibles. Start in Romans 1 to see that abortion on demand, for instance, is a revelation of the wrath of God against our society. What evoked this wrath? Sexual immorality. Simple, read your Bible. Transgender bathroom brouhahas are just another level of devolution.

Gods “gives over” people who refuse to honor the revelation He has given them “through what has been made”. Creation preaches Jesus Christ (the entire universe was made through Him (see Hebrews). Lots of really nice people who would NEVER think of using the wrong restroom are yet suppressing this Truth.

No politician will EVER be able to alter the revelation of God’s wrath against ANY society. Only the People, a la Nineveh, can.

Did he or did he not say that people should be allowed to choose whatever bathroom they want?

It sure sounded like that is exactly what he said.

You can spin it all day long, but he buckled to the politically correct side and criticized North Carolina for trying to preserve their moral traditions.

What North Carolina did was absolutely right. The left went apoplectic and Donald LGBTrump joined in the chorus.

If you can’t see that, then you are blind.

And you have no idea what he will try to do

Neither do you. Nobody does. But his history is not one of supporting Moral imperatives or Constitutional principles.

If his history is any indication of what he will do, then you and every other LGBTrump supporter is going to rue the day he got the nomination.

Why do I have this sinking feeling that Donald Trump is going to be doing a lot of “clarifying”his positions between now and the election?

I suppose that’s what you get when a Democrat runs in the Republican primary

As conservatives and patriots,
it’s time to put bruised egos behind us,
heal our differences and act united
in the best interests of our nation.

Congratulations to our presumptive nominee, Donald Trump!
