Donald Trump said Caitlyn Jenner would be welcome to use any bathroom she likes at Trump Tower and Jenner decided to investigate if that was true.
In an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC’S “Today,” Trump spoke about North Carolina’s HB2 law.
“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,” Trump told Lauer. “So I would say that’s probably the best way.”
“So, if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?” Lauer asks. Trump responds “That is correct.”
Putting Trump’s words to the test, in a video posted on Facebook, Jenner walks the streets of New York City and spots Trump Tower.
“A trans woman in New York, I gotta take a pee. Anyways, Oh my God, Trump International Tower, I love this,” Jenner says before walking inside.
After leaving the bathroom, Jenner takes a jab at Ted Cruz’s stance on the law, which Cruz believes is a protection from “predators.” Previously, Jenner had been vocal about her support for Cruz and her hopes to become his “trans ambassador.”
“By the way, Ted, nobody got molested,” Jenner says at the end of the video.
