(CNN)Donald Trump said Thursday that Caitlyn Jenner could use whatever bathroom she preferred in Trump Tower, and suggested that people should use "whatever bathroom they feel is appropriate."

Trump was asked about transgender bathroom policy during a town hall on the "Today" show on NBC, discussing in particular the contentious North Carolina measure and his own beliefs on the issue.

"Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you," Trump said. "Well look, North Carolina did something that was very strong, and they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems."

    The Republican front-runner then said he had heard the issue debated on TV, and agreed with a commentator's argument to "leave it the way it is."
    "You leave it the way it is," he said. "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 that they're taking. So I would say that's probably the best way."

    Trump was asked specifically by host Matt Lauer: "If Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower, and wanted to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?"

    "That is correct," Trump said.

    The real estate mogul also rejected the idea that buildings should provide a third bathroom for transgender people, saying that would be "discriminatory in a certain way" in addition to prohibitively expensive.

    people should use "whatever bathroom they feel is appropriate."

    More proof the Trump is just your run of the mill establishment Repubclican, like yukon, Lindsey Graham, GI, and Mitt.

    It seems like light in the loafers has become a prime requirement for GOP presidential candidates.

    I've never seen that video - hilarious, but somewhat disturbing.

    Yes, Trump is starting to display his true colors.

    This recent revelation by Trump concerning bathrooms will make his groupies' heads explode - especially Stone's.

    " Trump: Caitlyn Jenner can use any bathroom in Trump Tower "

    IMHO, this seems about as sharp politically as "Trump Calls for Reinstatement of Joe Paterno Statue (& Pedophilia cover-ups)"

    Better answer: "That's a state issue. Next question."

    Guess that's not gonna stop you groupies from supporting him, is it?

    Every time this bloated clown opens his fat mouth he spouts something stupid.

    First, I am not a groupie.

    I suspect some will continue to support Trump, even in spite of this & other things. On the other hand, this will most likely erode his support with some. How many on each side is yet to be seen.

    WTF is the BFD here. People all over the world use gender neutral public bathrooms. I used one in S. Korea. I must admit that I was a bit taken back when she opened the stall door that I was waiting to use but it didn't seem to bother her at all. Get over this folks, it's a BS issue.

    I agree with Trump. I do not care who uses what bathroom. In France there are open air urinals, and the toilets are toilets - you use them if you have to go, either sex. That's the way it ought to be.

    We're big boys and girls. Prudish squeamishness about toilets doesn't belong in the law. There are important things in this world.

    Nor do I think it's a "state law" issue. I think it's a below-the- threshold-of-law issue. It's like women breast feeding. We shouldn't NEED laws about things that are obviously ok. If we do, it's because of idiots in society. Idiots should not get to enact their idiocy into law.

    If you have to pee, you don't stand there waiting for your bladder to burst because there's a boy's room and a girl's room. You go in and use it. If somebody has an issue, s/he just needs to suck it up and be unhappy.

    Grow up, grow a pair, and grow a thick skin: that's what I say. Trump is closest to me on this.

    Here's the bottom line, Ahole. If Trump winning pisses you off... I'll vote for him twice.
