Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding transgender individuals’ bathroom rights surprised many this week. The surprise stems from the fact that his stance — that people should be able to use whichever restroom that they please — is in opposition to many of his core, conservative supporters.
Amid reports that Trump would be toning it down, using a teleprompter, and moving to the center, many took his statements as proof that his traditionalization of Trump was, in fact, well underway.
The truth is — he’s never been particularly conservative on LGBT rights at all. The media’s fascination with Trump’s far-right policies on the border, military, and economy has painted the real estate mogul as a politician on the far-fringes of the Republican Party.

He also said America has more to worry about then who uses what bathroom.

Now its state issues on state property and business right to decide inside their stores. He said Trump Tower bathrooms bla bla he said leave it the way it is now. He is VERY CHARITABLE TO VERY GOOD AND NEEDY CAUSES . Look it up for yourself.
TRUMP
Maybe-doesn’t change my mind at all! He’s, as a private citizen, giving to many organizations-this is only one, and in business if he is going to do business with people that do give to these organizations and he doesn’t … he’s getting nothing approved, that’s just business. I don’t like it but it doesn’t change my vote at all.
Even tho I do not agree on this subject, I will still; support him.
So he donated to educate kids that bullied on a regular basis. How evil. Really?
