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. In reality, he’s far more centric than many have been led to believe.
Trump’s rigid stance on LGBT rights can be proven by looking through the donations he’s made as a private citizen. A new report from Breitbart shows that Trump’s foundaton made a sizable contribution to an organization formed in order to promote LGBT rights to school-aged children.
Does this apparent conflict between him and his core supporters hurt his chances to win in November, or does it help him create a broader coalition that will send him to the White House?

You are right. Trump’s generous nature is well known.
Who know if he even knew the facts of the donation. We only get a small piece of info.
Regardless of this, I’m voting for Trump

It shows he’s not homophobic,big plus in the general election for dem crossovers and moderate independents. Cruz is far too right wing to appeal to that group.
You do not have to agree with everything the man says to vote for him.I am still going to vote for Trump although I disagree with him on this bathroom thing.I agree with just about everything else (Which is a lot more than I can say about Cruz and Kasich.) I mean I don’t always agree with everything my husband says ….most things, but not everything. So even though I do not agree with Trump on everything he is still in my mind the best candidate we got.Go Donald Trump For President !!
Ladies and Gentlemen meet our President Mr, Donald Trump………..
Nope..he changed back to a republican into a republican in 09…he has changed his party affiliation five times since 88.
Trump is a confused fool!!!
This just shows that just because the right people foam at the mouth because of Trump his stand against this social chaos is an illusion like everything else. This guy has a record that is totally opposite for everything he has made an issue.
we don’t agree with you on this at all……………………please reconsider the bathroom for your wife, your daughters and your granddaughters sake…this is a problem and this is not how we fix it by opening all doors…..they need to be as private as the rest of us…..safety is 1st ..not gender ..they need their own bathroom if they have a problem…. 1 percent of population 1% only are we talking about here…….open eyes quit falling into the dirty water…..amen
