Trump: Rescind Obama’s transgender directives, but ‘protect everybody’
Source: Wall Street Journal
NEW YORK -- Donald Trump vowed Monday that if elected president he would rescind the Obama administration's new directives aimed at protecting transgender people against discrimination in schools and health-care coverage.
But even as Trump accused the administration of federal overreach and argued that such matters should be addressed by the states, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee also sounded a more compassionate tone and offered a more nuanced outlook than many of his party's elected leaders.
Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post that the government must act "to protect all people" and that he was eager to learn more about the movement for transgender rights.
"It is a very, very small portion of the population, but as I said, you have to protect everybody, including small portions of the population," Trump said during the interview at his 26th-floor office at Trump Tower here in Manhattan.

(70,504 posts)We need tens of thousands of "pee police persons" to make sure what kind of
waste removal/sexual systems go to what kind of bathroom to drop a turd, hang
a snake, or sit and piss. But they have to be really nice at the same time so they
can be able, "to protect all people" as they are doing junk tests on humans who
need to shit or piss.
