(CNSNews.com) - Republican Donald Trump, appearing on Thursday's "Today" show, said transgenders should be allowed to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate."
"So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?" host Matt Lauer asked Trump.
"That is correct," Trump said.
Asked for his view on the North Carolina bathroom controversy, Trump said the state has "paid a big price" for requiring transgenders to use the restroom that corresponds with their biological sex.
"Leave it the way it is," he said.
"One of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday, saying 'Leave it the way it is right now.' There have been very few problems. Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all of the business that's leaving and all of the strife, and that's on both sides -- you leave it the way it is.
"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. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife, and the -- the economic punishment that they're taking."
AD FEEDBACK
Trump said he doesn't know if he has any transgender people working for him. "I probably do, I really don't know."
Trump noted that there's a "big move to create new bathrooms" for transgenders.
"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."
Given he thinks his daughters are hot... who on earth knows...
Not sure this will be on Trump’s scorecard when he selects supremes.
Maybe it will be.
If they are not ready get rid of there junk , then they should use the men’s urinal . Period .
You are kidding? Have you seen any of these kookbags? They are only fooling themselves that they are passable as women. They look like weird sick freaks who need mental help. (Which is what they actually are.)
The number of males that can passably be mistaken for females is vanishingly small. No, they look like sickos in a dress with fake boobs, hairy faces, and large prominent Adam's Apples. Not convincing at all.
Some examples.
Wow...
Great guy the Trumpbots are supporting there...
Seem to be quite a few “Trumpbots” these days. LOL.

I wouldn’t be making excuses for this loser on this issue...
It shows his true character.
That wall he promises, would NEVER happen. He is a liar.
No its not.
Be consistent. Trump is not consistent on anything, so how can you believe him on anything?
Only, Trump is not a states rights guy...
He’s for a strong federal government...
I understand. But I know that Cruz is willing to do anything now before winning anything by vote. That includes some nuclear options like going full-bore amnesty to get California in June. Me no likey one damn bit.
I’m with you, sadly. I just wish more conservatives would come to this realization and start fighting for things that we actually have a shot at winning. Secure borders is something we can sell. Social issues aren’t.
It already IS a Fed issue:
A policy barring a transgender student from using the boys’ restrooms at his Virginia high school is discriminatory, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

Unfortunately, babygene, the North Carolina question came up. NC reacted to an ordinance in Charlotte that did not leave it the way it was. Charlotte had an ordinance that said a person could use the facility he/she wanted to use. North Carolina changed that to birth gender facilities.
So, Trump’s answer is either uninformed — because things are no longer ‘as it is’ — or Trump’s answer is far outside my belief system.
God burns it down and we start over. During clean up, we need to make a point to hang all Liberal Judges and Media people from lampposts.
Good article, couldn’t have said it better myself. To me it is very amusing the number of Cruz supporters who have their panties in a wad over this one. I guess that they have very delicate sensibilities when it comes to using the potty.
HlPhat: What’s the “due penalty for perversion” cited in Romans chapter 1 — and who made those natural values?
Trumpinator: Sadly, we don't live in a theocracy.
When an interviewer recently called Lady Gaga the "Billy Graham of pop," she claimed,
"I'm teaching people to worship themselves."

Rom 1:25-27
25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen.26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
NIV"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. "--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
But then the Manifort, Putin, and Yanukovitch's fellow Oligarchic collectivists already knew all this, didn't they.
EHRLICHMAN: Hotpants!
NIXON: Jeeeeesus Ch[censored].
I know, it's crazy. Someone needs to stick a sock in Trump's mouth when he does this.
Did he not say ‘leave it as it is’ in North Carolina?
Correct me if I am wrong but transgenders are people that have had surgery to change their anatomy and treatment to change their hormone composition. Thus, Caitlyn Jenner is more anatomically and hormonally a woman.
I think Jenner is a mental case but Trump is the decision maker for Trump Towers which I believe is governed by NYC ordinances.
I would think the question that people here who object would be more correct would be ‘for people that are not transgender, should they be able to use the bathroom of their choice?’.
These are people with mental issues...
And the libtards want to parade them about like they are victims...
Donald J. Trump can go pound sand, the man is a loose cannon whom should NEVER be elected to anything, let alone POTUS.
Thank God Ted Cruz is going to kick his rear in the convention and we don’t have to worry about Trump being our nominee.

Police were not called to respond to the Feb. 8 incident, although the man returned to the locker room while young girls were changing for swimming practice, King 5 reported.
Is there another story in the news where the cops were called and they refused to arrest of kick the man out?
