Trump: transgender people should be allowed to use whatever bathroom they like

Donald J. Trump, Republican candidate for president, says that transgender people should use whatever bathrooms they like.

North Carolina did something it was very strong and theyre paying a big price, Mr. Trump said. And theres a lot of problems. And I heard one of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday saying, leave it the way it is, right now.

He added that before the law passed, there had been very few problems but now North Carolina is experiencing an exodus of businesses and strife from people on both sides of the issue.You leave it the way it is, he said. There have been very few complaints the way it is.

...in response to a follow-up question, he said that if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use a bathroom, he would be comfortable with her choosing any bathroom she wanted. That is correct, Mr. Trump said. You know, theres a big move to create new bathrooms for transgender people alone, Mr. Trump said. 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.

His rival, Ted Cruz, is ranting creepily about "grown men with little girls." If there's one image to take away with you from the primaries, I think it's this one. It's Trump chancing upon principle through sheer indifference, and conservatives debasing themselves with pedophiliac fantasies in a desperate attempt to make that look bad.
