“From what I’ve searched and read on the internet, this thing has been taken out of context....”
To put it mildly.
The questions and topic was about transgenders. It has now morphed into Trump demanding that perverts go to the restrooms with little girls. See Cruz’s twitter post.
I’ve read 4 different articles and not one is Trump quoted blasting the new law. Nor did he defend “perverts”. Lauer was trying to trap him and all he said was it wasnt a big issue the way things were and now that it is, it has become an economnic issue. That is factually correct.
He didn’t come out swinging for or against any state laws. Nor should he.
By the way, anybody afraid of their young children getting molested in the bathroom should accompany them anyway. That is allowed.
