Hours after it was revealed President-elect Donald Trump intends to order transgender service members to leave the military when he takes office, a resurfaced interview clip in which Trump said transgender people should use the bathroom "they feel is appropriate" started making the rounds on social media.
In the clip, while discussing North Carolina's recently passed Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act, aka the "bathroom bill," during an interview in 2016, and the "strife" that followed, Trump repeatedly said it would be best to "leave it the way it is." (North Carolina went on to repeal the act in 2017.)
