Heard this on the radio and wasn't surprised at all. He's more left than a lot of us think he is. Still not my favorite candidate, but way better than the other Republicans who are running for POTUS.

Donald J. Trump said Thursday that transgender people should be allowed to use whatever bathroom they feel most comfortable with — including at Trump Tower in New York.

Dipping into a contentious issue by taking a stand many Republicans oppose, Mr. Trump told a town-hall-style event, hosted by NBC’s “Today” show at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, that when people go to the restroom, they should “use the bathroom they feel is appropriate.”

Mr. Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, was responding to a question about a bill that North Carolina’s governor signed into law last month that bars individuals in the state from using public bathrooms that don’t correspond to their biological sex — the one listed on their birth certificate. Since then, there has been a backlash from businesses and celebrities opposed to the state’s action. And transgender issues have pitted social conservatives against business interests that traditionally have been part of the Republican coalition in the South and elsewhere.

“North Carolina did something — it was very strong — and they’re paying a big price,” Mr. Trump said. “And there’s a lot of problems. And I heard — one of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday saying, leave it the way it is, right now.”

He added that before the law passed, there had been “very few problems” but now North Carolina is experiencing an exodus of businesses and “strife” from people on both sides of the issue.

Asked if the Trump organization employs any transgender people, Mr. Trump said he truly didn’t know, but added, “I probably do.” And in response to a follow-up question, he said that if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use a bathroom, he would be comfortable with her choosing any bathroom she wanted. “That is correct,” Mr. Trump said.

“You know, there’s a big move to create new bathrooms” for transgender people alone, Mr. Trump said. “First of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is.”

In perhaps a stunning move and interview with Matt Lauer, Donald Trump said he was against the anti-LGBT North Carolina bathroom law that banned transgender people from using the restroom of their gender preference. 

Lauer continued by asking a Trump, "So if Caitlyn Jenner walked into Trump Tower and wanted to use the women's restroom, you'd be okay with that?"

Trump responded it that it should be that way, they should be able to be comfortable, and that North Carolina was dumb to even make the law in the first place.

Is this part of the slightly more liberal Trump we'll see in the coming months?

I agree with him, including his business take on it.

He's speaking a bit too much sense on this. I remain suspicious.
