Donald Trump on Thursday hammered a controversial North Carolina law that requires transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond with the gender listed on their birth certificate.
Trump told NBC that North Carolina is "paying a big price" for the controversial legislation, and said the state has created problems that did not previously exist.

Trump as POTUS would govern like a RINO, maybe worse. There’s a reason New Yorkers voted for him overwhelmingly. Same for all the other deep BLUE “Acela” states that will give him the nod next week.
Well, well, well Ted Cruz says Trump supporters are Hillary supporters. How will that play in Indiana and Pennsylvania?
Donald!
NC put it back the way it WAS.
I can’t believe I once supported this guy. He’s hopping on the uninformed doofus train with Springsteen who cancelled a concert in NC. Ringo Starr did to. For what that’s worth.
As a NC resident I think he should have stayed out of this one as I think it’s gonna cost him. Well we’ll see next week anyway.
I’m very glad that Trump is such a principled conservative.
Sarc.
He seems to believe the nomination, Is in the bag and is letting his leftist tendacies show.
God help us.
Stupidity like that will cost him votes.
Donald, you want to let men in the bathroom with Ivanka, well that’s your choice, but not with my daughters!
In Trump’s world there is no right or wrong, no standing on principle, just business and money. And anything that impacts that has to be bad.
And still we’re being told that Trump is a “true conservative”
Sigh... Just when you think we’re on a clear path, he says something stupid like this. This guy has no principles. Leave it the way it is because of the economics? Really?
Ted Cruz smartly weighed in
We shouldn’t be facilitating putting little girls alone in a bathroom w/ grown men. That’s just a bad, bad, bad idea
I am a Trump supporter but I just called his campaign manager in Ma. and said I don’t think I can now vote for him. What a disappointment Trump is on this issue!
Would Trump let an obvious man in the bathroom alone with a granddaughter? What kind of freakshow has this country become?!?
Abraham couldn’t find any righteous men to save Sodom. I think we have reached the same point.
By who? Certainly not Rush and the rest. But the principled conservative couldn’t and can’t pull it off and in today’s world we need to stop illegal immigrants, protect 1st and 2nd amendment rights, help are vets and police, and stop the economic bleeding. And I think that is where Trump shines!
Trump said leave it like it was. There were no transgendered bathrooms before now there is. Yuk! You want men going into girls bathrooms? No thanks. Trumps says no to transgendered bathrooms. The governor and senators are worried about their seats now because they sided with the transgendered community. Trump needs to clean out the trash.
What Trump is saying here makes sense to me. There was no need to write a NEW LAW. Just enforce the old one about indecency & exposure.
I remember when “conservatives” were against more unnecessary laws... /s
I’m going to take a moment to remind everyone of the recall election of Gov Gray Davis in CA...
There was a principled conservative ready to take the reins of government with a statewide base of support. His name was Tom McLintock. The GOPe said that he couldn’t win statewide and Dem Lt Gov Bustamante would win if Tom was the candidate. They recruited Arnold SchwarzenKennedy for his star power. The actual election returns had Bustamante come in third behind Arnold and Tom. The principled conservative would have won... but he was undermined by the bright, shiny thing danged by the GOPe. We know how that turned out.
Now we have Trump. Conservatives were excited about Cruz until Trump came along and said the things they wanted to hear. No one would listen to naysayers and they allowed the principled conservative to be slimed beyond reason for simply running a campaign to win according to the rules. Now that Trump seems inevitable, he is moving to the “middle” RINO position. Let’s see if there were be buyer’s remorse before it’s too late.
We’re about to have a presidential election where your choices are two New Yorkers. Like New York values? You’re going to get them one way or another.
Wrong. The largest city in NC, Charlotte, passed an ordinance to mandate the ability of "choosing" your own restroom. The NC legislature passed a law to overturn such idiocy statewide.
It’s financial blackmail. This needs to be looked at from a woman’s right to privacy and safety issue.
