Jenner: Trump Performance Good in 'Certain Areas' but 'Horrible' on Transgender Issues
PJ Media ^ | 04/15/2018 | Nicholas Ballasy

Actress Caitlyn Jenner told PJM that she is satisfied with President Trump’s job performance in “certain areas” but transgender rights issues are not among them.

Jenner also said many of the DREAMers are “great Americans” and she hopes Congress makes “the right decision” on fixing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Jenner joined actor Richard Gere at the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute’s annual gala Wednesday, where Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) was honored for her years of “public service and international leadership” as the first Hispanic woman elected to Congress.

Jenner was asked if she thinks Congress should provide legal status to the DREAMers, immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.

“Well, I think it’s a tough decision for Congress and what they’re doing right now. They need to support the people that have been here and we’ll see what happens, but supporting – a lot of them are, you know, great Americans, right now. They came here at a very young age so yeah, I hope they make the right decision,” Jenner said during an interview at the CHLI gala.

Jenner has expressed opposition to Trump’s ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. Trump reversed the policy set by the Obama administration that allowed transgender individuals to serve openly in the military and permitted the Pentagon to pay for medical gender reassignment.

Last year, Jenner said she disagreed with the Trump administration’s decision to end protections that the Obama administration put in place for transgender students, which allowed them to use bathrooms in public schools that match their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

Event organizers interrupted the interview before Jenner could identify the areas where she approves of Trump.

Ros-Lehtinen applauded Jenner for her LGBT rights advocacy at the event.

“Thank you, because fighting for gay rights and transgender rights is such an important part of my DNA and what I do, and you’re a great spokeswoman for this cause,” the GOP congresswoman, who has a transgender son, told Jenner.

Ros-Lehtinen told PJM that Trump has been “right on the money” when it comes to human rights issues in Latin America.

“Although I have been very critical of the Trump administration on many aspects of his policies, when it comes to advancing human rights in Cuba, in Venezuela, in Nicaragua, he has been right on the money and I have no complaints. He has understood the difference between right and wrong,” she said during an interview at the event.

“He said I’m standing with the people and not with the regimes, and he has sanctioned more Venezuelan thugs of [President Nicolas] Maduro than the previous administration,” she added. “So, in the short time Trump has been there, more than the eight years of Obama, and Maduro has been bad for an awfully long time and [Hugo] Chavez before him, so it’s not like he just turned bad.”

Ros-Lehtinen, whose family moved to the U.S. from Cuba when she was a child, applauded Trump for rolling back the “regulations that were one-sided concessions.”

“So I thank him for everything he has done in my native homeland and in Venezuela, which is like my adopted land, so I am very happy with that,” she said.

Ros-Lehtinen continued, “The greatest challenge we have is to continue explaining why human rights matters to the American public – that, yes, it’s great to have cheap products from this country and that country, but it’s human rights. It’s democracy. It’s the advancement of American values and that’s what CHLI wants to do – free market, free trade, fair trade.”

Actor and human rights activist Gere delivered a speech at the ceremony but declined interviews.

Why does transgender have to be an issue? It seems to me that anyone, like Jenner, already has an issue. He didn’t have to be what he is. He had a choice and he made it. No one forced him to do what he has done.

Bruce has issues. So does Nicholas, the writer for PJ Media. Bruce isn’t an actress. He is a guy. Check out his chromosomes.

Sorry to mess you guys up with nature, science, and the reality of creation.

Continue on in fantasy land.

...Horrible' on Transgender Issues...

Oh no! He's let down 0.1% of the population!

Ley me be clear - transgenders are mentally ill and in need of psychiatric care, not surgery.

That's something that tens of millions of Americans worried about making it from day to day are losing sleep over.

Well, Mr.Jenner,there are other matters in today’s world that are somewhat more urgent than Transgender Issues. I get it that this shocks you, but it’s the truth.

Kind of strange to watch reruns of “Murder, She Wrote” with Bruce guest starring in them, lol.

Also, are his constitutional rights being taken away?

Your chromosomes are XY. You're a man. Deal with it. If you can't deal with it, you have a mental illness.

Is Trump supposed to push for some sort of legislation that gives every chick with a dick special rights or something?

Remember, JFK put a man on the moon. Obummer put a man in the girls bathroom and they called that progress.

Bruce needs a psychiatrist, not to become a protected class with extra rights. The mentally ill want to rule over all of us and we can’t keep letting that happen.

I’m sorry Bruce, but making the age of consent 12 isn’t at the top of Trump’s agenda.

Jenner clearly 'gets' that this isn't normal; one of the stories that was quickly buried was a full-on freakout just after surgery:
"What did I just do? What did I just do to myself?" Jenner told VF of first thoughts post-surgery. After coming out of the procedure, the former Olympian was at such a loss...called a counselor from the Los Angeles Gender Center, who came to Jenner's Malibu home to assure that...reactions were likely induced by the pain medication, and that second-guessing was "human and temporary."

Maybe the “transgender issue” is horrible instead?
