BREAKING: Donald Trump Comes Out Against North Carolina’s HB2, Supports Transgender Rights [VIDEO]

Well, THIS is unexpected. New York Magazine reports:

Donald Trump says transgender people should be able to “use the bathroom they feel is appropriate.” On NBC’s Today show Thursday morning, the GOP front-runner said he opposes North Carolina’s “very strong” bathroom bill, which prohibits transgender residents from doing just that.

“North Carolina did something that was very strong and they’re paying a big price. And there’s a lot of problems.” Trump said. “Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they’re going through, with all of the business and all of the strife — and that’s on both sides — you leave it the way it is. There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic punishment they’re taking.”

Trump went on to say that if Caitlyn Jenner were to visit Trump Tower, she would be free to use any restroom she chooses. Start the clip below at 18:40. What’s the over/under on the flip-flop?
