Caitlyn Jenner published a Facebook video Wednesday of her taking up Donald Trump on his comments last week that transgender people could 'use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate' at Trump Tower. Caitlyn Jenner takes Trump up on bathroom offer

Donald Trump said Caitlyn Jenner could use any bathroom in Trump Tower. So she did.

“Oh my God, a trans woman in New York,” Jenner says in a Facebook video published Wednesday. “I gotta take a pee. Anyway, oh my God, Trump International Hotel. I love this.”

Trump suggested in an interview last week that transgender people could use whatever bathroom they want. “There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate,” Trump told NBC’s “Today” during a town hall event. “There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic — I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking.”

Asked by NBC’s Matt Lauer whether he would allow Jenner to use any bathroom in Trump Tower, the Republican presidential front-runner said, “That is correct.”

“OK, last week, Donald Trump said I could take a pee anywhere in a Trump facility,” Jenner continues in the video. “So I am gonna go take a pee in the ladies’ room.”

Jenner walks into Trump’s facility, asks for directions to the restroom and bypasses the men’s bathroom en route to the women’s restroom.

“M, not anymore,” she says, referring to the men’s room. “W,” she adds as she enters that bathroom instead.

“Thank you, Donald,” she says as she leaves the restroom. “I really appreciate it, and by the way, Ted, nobody got molested.”

Her parting shot at Ted Cruz comes in response to the Texas senator’s remark that allowing transgender people to go into bathrooms other than those associated with their gender identity at birth was “a reckless policy that will endanger our loved ones.”
